1. Etsy has millions of products listed therefore you must be very specific with your search terms. Try using 2-4 word phrases that describe what your looking for in terms of material, product use and color/size. This will help to narrow down your search results.
2. Take note of the product turnaround time. Is the product ready to ship or does it have to be made first? Also don’t assume the shop will offer a refund. One of a kind custom made items may not be refundable. Read the store polices.
3. Dig a little deeper to determine the quality and degree to which the goods are truly “handmade”. Checkout the shops About page and buyer feedback.
Finally, don’t forget to leave your feedback if you decide to make a purchase. Your opinion is valuable to both other shoppers and Esty store owners.
