I've been with Etsy for over a year and I'm about ready to drop it. It's become so bloated with sellers that your items get lost after the first day of listing. Yes, it's cheap and has good feeback, but nobody wants to wade through 25 pages to find your item. I hardly make any sales anymore. I know my prices are good and my items are worth what I ask so....

Thanks for all the info. Ebay has changed over the years. I've been buying and selling there since 1998. It used to be fun. I will gladly join the boycott. My feeling is that Ebay is trying to chase off the small sellers in favor of the big companies and celebs. Too bad for them.

Patricia - I think that is EXACTLY why people aren't having much luck on etsy. There's a lot of cute, quality, stuff on there, but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I still like eBay and would like to continue to use them, but I am frustrated with them at the moment.
