Folksy Avis 

Love it, its even more beautiful in person!

Very impressed so far. Much better than their competitors in supporting artists and crafters. Very happy so far.

Easy to use, easy to list, great support if you need it

Such a variety to choose from. My purchase of thread was beautifully packaged and posted very quickly.

What drew me to Folksy is its ethos -handmade only by UK sellers. Two weeks after joining I’ve had four sales. Couldn’t be happier. App easy to use and Folksy support friendly and responsive.

I am new to Folksy so was not sure how things would work regarding making sales but I had no need to worry, everything ran smoothly, I was informed immediately by email and paid promptly through PayPal. The sold items were automatically removed from my shop view and easily accessed as sold items.

Not sure what you can do to help sales other than advertising. Not one person I have told had heard of folksy

Ordered items on the 10th of December for Christmas never received my items and never got to reply for the seller be very wary of this site had to go through PayPal refund. Customer support told me I had to go through PayPal and that was it until they actually replied to review 15th of May 5 months later what a joke

Very nice looking and easy to use site. I would like to have the option to message the buyer to personalize their purchase, rather than just their email address. Feels like a nice size site with genuine hand crafted goods.

I've had my own website, but that requires a lot of time that could be spent more enjoyably making rather than promoting. I've also had an Etsy shop which used to be for handmade only but now allows foreign sellers particularly to sell mass produced items cheap but getaway with calling them handmade. Etsy also have a policy of with holding a lot of your money.
So far Folksy has worked for me, visitors to my 'shop' straight off, reasonable fees, very easy to use. If you want a platform to sell your handmade items, I thoroughly recommend Folksy.

Made my first sale on Folksy. Easy to get paid & notify buyer of order dispatch.

Easy site to use and pricing is excellent. Love the site and the support network.

Folksy is a wonderful place for handmade items

Loved the way my Etsy items could be copied over to Folksy and I can continue to run the two platforms. Pictures and set out of shop are clear and well presented and communication by emails has been good - hence the 5*. I thought the monthly fees were reasonable too. On the downside it's taken 3 months to get my first and only sale on Folksy (whilst I have a steady flow of orders on Etsy from an established shop of approx 5 years). It doesn't appear that Folksy is a big enough name yet.... many I speak to have not heard of Folksy. If more sales come in then I will be overjoyed but its slow at the moment and it's the festive season and the majority of items I have listed so far have been for Halloween and Christmas events so a little disappointed to say the least with just one sale. Fingers crossed for a busier new year and perhaps I need to promote my Folksy shop more on social media.

I received an email straight away re the sale. I offer a 7 day turn around however Folksy were unable to individualise this and suggested I send the purchase out within 3 working days.
Money appeared in my PayPal account straight away although Folksy fee is still yet to be billed. I felt communication was good. I was asked to complete this as a follow up to the sale.
The sale was through an acquaintance hence not via Folksy’s marketing.

Folksy has a fantastic collection of shops, offering handmade and unique items.

I very easy site to use with everything laid out in simple terms

Shopping on Folksy is always a complete delight. Thank you.

Very easy to use and to create listings. Good shop management and editing. The only thing I wish Folksy had is the ability to research data for SEO to make it easier to find useful keywords.
