Etsy (www.etsy.com) is an online
marketplace for buying and selling all things handmade.
Though launched only one year ago, we have over 100,000
members, 25,000 of whom are sellers. We attribute our
early successes to the innovative ways we differ from
ordinary e-commerce sites. Instead of looking to physical
storefronts for ideas, we developed ways to shop only
possible on the Web. On Etsy you can shop by color,
by geographic location and whiz through a three-dimensional
time machine. Truly, Etsy is as unique as the one-of-a
kind items our users create.
Some facts about Etsy.com:
1. Etsy was conceived by Robert Kalin and Chris Maguire,
and built by them along with Haim Schoppik, and Jared
Tarbell.
2. There are approximately 240,000 items for sale on
Etsy.
3. Over 190,000 non-mass produced items have sold on
Etsy.
4. There are no auctions on Etsy, only fixed price sales.
All the above information is from Etsy's own helpful
"What is Etsy?" guide.
