Which online store do you like better? I'll say eBay for now.
-
I like ebay.
-
I never used Etsy. I only used eBay. So I guess I'll stick with eBay.
-
Like others here, I prefer eBay to Etsy. It has a wider selection and often the better deals. However, Etsy has an interesting collection of clever, artsy items which I enjoy browsing. Sometimes I will make purchases there if something really catches my eye.
-
I think I was into homemade crafts, I would use Etsy. But I'm not and I've found tons on deals on Ebay over the years.
-
If I'm looking for hand-made goods, then etsy. I don't often look for those kinds of items. I shop mostly on Amazon. I also look for items on Tripleclicks which has a lot of unique items.

I've been a member of eBay for 10 years. I've gotten a lot of things on there but stayed away for a few years when income was down...going back was a bit of shock. Things have changed and I noticed prices are mostly on the level as other places if you're looking for new.
I've also noticed that things aren't selling as well as they used to a couple years ago. I've watched an item be relisted for over a month and no bites yet...and it's an antique item that should have sold the first time for a nice amount. It used to be hot and heavy bidding on rare genealogy surname books or county books, but there are a few that now sell combo CDs with that info and more so the "just bio" books aren't selling well. That's sad. :sad1:

I've used both sites, but I find more things on eBay that I absolutely have to have.
-
I find Etsy useful only for artsy crafty type things like knitting and crochet patterns or nice homemade gifts. EBay is way more useful because you can hunt for just about anything at all on that site. So I use eBay a lot more than Etsy.
-
like ebay will use it for birthday and Christmas shopping more this year.Etsy is expensive I have only looked never bought anything.
-
I like eBay, because there is just such a large selection of items available.
-
I don't care for ebay and I haven't tried Etsy but I want to
-
i dont use either one..i use amazon
-
I have never shopped on etsy before.
From the posts in here, Etsy sounds like a great place for crafty or homemade items
-
Never heard of etsy... I'll stick with ebay
-
I've bought more on eBay. I have found some things for crafting on etsy that I was able to use. I also look at shophandmade. It's a great place for finding handmade items.
-
i use to like ebay but i think for more personal i like estay
-
checked out Etsy but prices are little high and I think I can make that myself. Love ebay for school books
-
I have used ebay a lot over the years, but for the homemade crafts I have seen some amazing etsy stores popping up. My cousin has one and she is so talented and the things she has in her store are one of a kind artwork and there are so many other stores that are the same way.
-
I have never heard of Etsy before so I would pick eBay. I have bought tons of things are Ebay before and sold lots of stuff too.
-
ebay never tried etsy
-
I have used both but EBay more, since it has such a large variety of items, great deals, and often hard to find items. I have only bought from Etsy when someone has asked for a specific item from there as a gift.
