Etsy is growing by leaps and bounds.
Posted huge gains for January. It's good, but also bad. With 4 month postings, it's so difficult to get seen. Though must say my hits are about the same as for eBay.
They need a few things 'fixed' on the site though.
Not sure where all this is going. SO many sites are springing up, and all posting BIG leaps ahead.
One thing is obvious to me - people are looking for a viable eBay 'alternative'.
Many of the new ones combine with 'networking' - you can even 'talk' to people who land on your items, and you can tell them about your stuff.
I have been on a HUGE learning curve, even with uploading constant feed of inventory getting onto google. Amazing stuff. Makes my head spin.
But, as I said, don't know where all this is going. Once it was just 'eBay', and you sent everyone to 'eBay' for anything, but with unfriendly search terms, and sellers not being able to negative bad buyers (I had to give a POSITIVE to a no-contact, non-paying bidder yesterday - go figure!). And sellers getting slaps on hands from buyers who don't understand star systems and ding stars for absolutely things out of seller's control. I'm only here because it still is 'fastest' at selling anything. But it is getting 'livelier' at other places, but so many, people (buyers) aren't knowing where to go. And sellers usually don't get their buyers to follow them.
*sigh*
