I am often dumbfounded by some of the stuff I come across on Etsy, and I know I’m not the only one.
Don’t get me wrong – I love Etsy, and what I class as bizarre is just my personal take on the item so take what I say with a pinch of salt.
Buying handmade isn’t cheap, but psychic readings and self-hypnosis CDs? A Nazi flag?! WTF?
That’s what this blogs about.
You might think I’m being unnecessarily cruel but my criticisms are trivial. Don’t take them too seriously, don’t let them ruin your day. If you find one of your items here and you want it taken down, just email me.
On the very rare occasion when I actually name a seller, it’s usually because they’ve broken the TOU so the item needs flagging.
Also, it’s Etsy WTF, not Craft WTF. The item doesn’t necessarily have to be awful, but maybe Etsy isn’t the right venue.
I am not responsible for what is said in the comments. The comments are mostly left unmoderated (unless they start inciting hatred or something) because Etsy mutes enough people already.
