How do you even begin to shop on etsy? I think there are so many cool things on there, but I get overwhelmed looking!

I was looking at necklaces, and even when I narrowed it down to a charm necklace there are almost 100,000!!!

 

Re: Etsy

  • Unless I have something super specific in mind I don't even bother because I get overwhelmed easily on there.

  • I am there WAY too often.  But for the most part it's for inspiration for my next project. 
  • I love etsy! I haven't been on in awhile or I might get glued there for hours.

  • I usually only go on there if I know of a particular shop that I want to look at (if it was mentioned in a magazine or blog or something).  Otherwise it's way too complicated trying to find stuff.
  • I signed up for emails from heartsy, which has daily deals on etsy stuff.

    You can also try advanced search and look for things made locally or try different types of searches.

    i did this also. it's nice because it only gives you 4-6 sellers to look at each day so you're not overwhelmed. PLUS, you get screamin deals!

    this is my link for heartsy and if you sign up and make a purchase using it, i get $5 and you get $5. pretty sweet. : )

    I haven't heard of heartsy before, but I love a deal and it would be nice not to have to sort through thousands of items. I tried your link and it didn't work, though. I'll try again ...

  • Here's a link to top sellers http://www.craftcount.com/  - not exactly my favorite since part of the charm of etsy is finding a super small crafter.

    Etsy has improved their local search function so that if you type "handbag" in the search field you can then chose to find sellers in your area.  I still manage to shop for hours (and I've only bought stuff 2 times) - it's like I get so overwhelmed with all the choices that I become paralyzed and give up.

    That worked ... you'll have a $5 credit now!
