Just got an email from Amazon introducing the new Amazon "Handmade" a new marketplace for handcrafted goods....

Curious how this will play out opposite Etsy..

Re: Amazon, the new competition?

Yes, I heard about this too, let's see where it will go. There are hundreds of venues to sell your handmade goods on but none of them can match Etsy yet.

I'm interested to see how this plays out with amazon.

They already have the fan base and traffic. But its to find cheap products, not really handmade.

But that could always change. I'll be interested in what their fees are.

Re: Amazon, the new competition?

Thanks for the link, I just signed up. I think this is a great new opportunity, not necessarily "competition" but another venue for my little biz. I am not Etsy, I am a small handmade business owner who sells on Etsy- BIG distinction!
