I've been shopping on Etsy lately and it's incredibly frustrating. Nothing on Etsy is a necessity. Everything is an "extra" fun item or maybe a luxury version of an everyday item (costs more than equivalent things in retail stores). Everyone has perfect feedback. EVERYONE! 100%! Fast shipping, great product, great customer service. Everyone's cookies are delicious and everyone's soap smells so good and is so great.
I've had very very mixed results with etsy. I think I tried 5 soap sellers with many many fans before I found a good one.
Lotions I got mostly were not as moisturizing as cheapo lotion, with very strong scent (stronger than bath and body works). The food has been delicious or so so but never better than the local bakery (perhaps the 3-day shipping equaled it out). The crafts have been very fun and creative but would fall apart a week after I leave feedback. Another snack I bought turned moldy after I left feedback. Another craft I bought did not perform as well as store bought. Some soaps dried up my skin after continuous use and I needed intensive lotion. All these sellers have 100% perfect feedback.
I bought another few things that have 100% many feedback but really look crude IRL...
I am starting to just not leave feedback and just give up on Etsy.
Now I'm itching to buy a purse from Etsy, but it's the same price as some very nice brands, and from their feedback, they're the best purses in the world. Unlike the nice brands, there is no return policy. I already bought another bag on etsy but I haven't gotten it yet so I'm majorly crossing my fingers.
Can some of you rant with me, or somehow impossibly restore my love of Etsy?
