I like etsy way more than ebay, but it isn't as well known. I was in the process of opening up an Etsy shop, but then decided to go with   EZShoppes instead. I may do Etsy too, especially for the holidays, I haven't made up my mind for sure. But EZShoppes were simple (and I want and need simple with everything else that I am trying to stay on top of!), and I liked not having to pay the listing and final sale fees.

I have had good experiences buying and selling on ebay, but DH has only had horrible ones, so he detests ebay. I have bought things on etsy, and been very pleased so far. I have talked to some sellers, they say the only thing is it is much slower than Ebay.

Everyone who I talked to that has an EZShoppe was happy, but it is more website-store based than the auction-store format (no centralized search feature, etc.) But etsy's seach function is kind of hit-or-miss anyway.

Sorry I couldn't be more help...
