I am really loving my experience with Supadupa.me so far.

They have amazing customer service. All my emails or tweets are responded to within 24 hours - not to shabby!!


They have different "levels" of options that one can add or subtract depending on what suits your business best.

No fees - not for listing or transactions - NO ADDITIONAL FEES

The shipping options are great. By weight and you can really get into detail by country and post zone. This is great for me like in the USA I can show the lower rate for in my state and higher rate to Alaska.
For international, this is also great because it is a real global breakdown.

Listing options. Love it.... I can List a single Hat and then add the color options without having to create a whole new listing for each color. Same for size. I can list a single item and then list size options. AMAZING!!!!!

Coupon Options: WOW! So MANY coupon options
1. percentage off
2. flat rate deduction like Tak $10 off
3. Based on purchase discount like $15 off when you spend such and such amount, etc
4. free shipping
5. Limit number of coupon use
I feel in control of my discount program!!!


They give you a URL or if you have a domain you can use that. So easy!

And It's not a marketplace. I feel like I am doing a LOT of promotion work to drive traffic so I want to drive them to where they can see my work and it won't be buried. This being that it is, essentially, your own website.

I have been REALLY happy thus far and wanted to share this information and discount for those looking for e-commerce or their own site options.

I DO NOT PLAN TO LEAVE ETSY. This is simply about growing my business and raising my presence on the web.


I do NOT work for supadupa. I AM JUST SHARING INFO and my experience since I see so many of these discussion threads.

Obviously you should always look into all aspects to see what works best for you but I thought I would share MY experiences for those who are looking.

Maybe others have other experiences to share?

Thank you for sharing I though this was wonderful!

I love it too. You'll find that a lot of us on this team got in on the free-for-life deal when it first started so we don't have to be convinced :)

I'm already doing better there than I am here and I'm not even doing all that much marketing yet other than on FB because I'm still searching for good blogs that target the same demographic that I do.

I don't plan to leave Etsy anytime soon, primarily because I still have a few items that don't go with the plus size theme of my new shop. I am considering re-opening it under a new name even though that means losing my hearts and views because I'm tired of older women that spend a lot on clothes wrinkling up their noses when I mention Etsy. I'm starting to think that having people know that I also sell here is more of a detriment than an asset. It isn't like OOAK stuff has much of a chance of being seen under the broad categories anyway.

What are we doing to promote your new site so I can as well?
