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.

If you would like to join PDX Etsy (there are members from all over the local Portland OR Area, including Vancouver WA and the OR Coast) just email Teams@Etsy.com and request to be put on the official Etsy Team List for PDXEtsy.
