I have had a lot more success on Etsy and I find the site much easier to navigate I have paid for 1 year so I will stay till then and I will concentrate on Etsy as I expect it to go on getting better.
Well ideally what you want from a selling site is regular sales. You have to find the best place for you and then put the work in to get your name out there.
I am on both and would love Folksy to be the best but the real truth is that I have had double the sales on there to here…I think it is because Folksy want to stay British and of course this is a smaller country compared to the US and worldwide. I just keep moving them around until they sell… I have always had a soft spot for Folksy but I find it difficult that those who have the plus account and do twitter etc get shown on the home page more often.
It is ok if you can mass produce items…but then that seems to penalize those of us that cannot churn out items. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, in my opinion. Is this Folksy jumping on the bandwagon of the masses, now? Feels like it! I spend a lot of time marketing and promoting my work on Social media sites and have a little following on FB and Etsy, now. Grace…I know how you feel…I appreciate that Folksy will favour those who guarantee them money, as in the plus account, but it seems unfair that they always get onto the home page…and so do those who are clever enough to do pinterest etc…It is for that reason that I list less on here now.
I just wish I knew the answer. I have just opened an Etsy shop, and hope to open a Folksy one soon. Translate to English There was a problem fetching the translation. All forum topics Previous Topic Next Topic.

There aren't that many buyers on here either by the sounds of it ; Folksy allows guest buying, which probably skews their stats a bit I'm the one with the thread earlier in the week about my Mum being annoyed Etsy doesn't allow guest buying, she has bought from Folksy in the past. LittleOwlsandPa ls Registered Buyer. Could it be a glitch that they are not showing?
PrissyKittyDesi gns Avid Reader. This is an old thread Doesn't Etsy allow direct checkout, is that not similar to guest buying? Sorry just noticed this is an old thread.

I am in both but Etsy outstrips Folksy all the time. I paid a years subscription on folksy but I will let it lapse when it runs out.
I have been on Etsy for 10 months and done reasonably well so I will be able to put more time into it when Folksy has gone and hopefully get a lot more sales this year. MiowandMolly Crafty Poster. If it has to be one, I would say Etsy. But I would suggest trying both for the four months for items and go from there. It could be that sales in Folksy are spread across more sellers.
Or you might find it hard to get noticed in Etsy while it could be easier in Folksy. So Folksy or Etsy?
