Etsy is a crafty cross between Amazon and eBay and your Grandma's basement, and is a place for folks to buy and sell handcrafted or vintage things and supplies.
It is a social commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items as well as art and craft supplies. These items cover a wide range including art, photography, clothing, jewelry, edibles, bath & beauty products, quilts, knick-knacks and toys. Many individuals also sell craft supplies like beads, wire, jewelry making tools and much more.
The vintage items on the site have only one rule to follow: they must be 20 years or older. These items range from old boots and ice skates, to dresses, hats and scarves.
The site follows in the tradition of open craft fairs, giving sellers personal storefronts where they list their goods for a fee of $.20 and getting 3.5% of every sale. The site is quite active: traffic runs around thirteen million dollars a month
