| Anyone try buying or selling on Bonanza yet? I did a google search on what site is better than Etsy and over and over again results came up Bonanza.com. Here is their page that says what's great about them. The Highest Rated eBay Alternative for 2013 - Bonanza Apparently free to list, and when you sell something they only take 3% vs Ebay's whopping 10% (not to mention Paypal's 3%). Thinking about giving it a try. Although it's not 100% handmade like Etsy "claims" to be, it's a marketplace for all types of goods. Still looking for a handmade site. Earlier this year I heard about Zibbet, but not much since, and with all the searches I did, it was hard to find them. I was on ArtFire before but they do charge monthly fee. Anyone have any input?

| Well 3% is better than ebay's 10%. But I just don't buy or sell on etsy anymore based on how they are running their site now. So many fake vintage items, counterfeit goods, and clearly NON handmade items disguised as hand made. And you can't report people about breaking the rules, bc that is considered cyber bullying.

| I have seen so much of this.... It's ridiculous. I sell my quilts, and they are expensive (I do a discount for friends, family, yorkietalk members, etc) but to buy a 20.00 china made quilt, and try to resell it for $400.00 as "handmade" after you cut the tag off and add some ribbons and bedazzling to it is wrong, and etsy shouldn't allow it. No way I could even begin to make a quilt for $20.00.

| Problem is, people are paying it, and people are getting away with selling it. That is why I no longer use etsy. Still on the lookout for another good handmade site.

I looked at spotify. But they charge monthly, and it's storefront, not just handmade.

| I found icraftgifts.com No commission, no relishing fees, and a small $5.00 monthly fee. Haven't researched it a lot yet, but just wanted to tell you
