I like the friendly atmosphere of Folksy - feel welcome as part of the Folksy family. No real issues but could Foksy or advertise the makers items more?

Easy to open shop and upload items for sale. Platform delivers very little customer traffic to shops and seems to focus more on targeting sellers rather than buyers. As a customer however, I have foun... See more

I did a lot of research before joining…

I did a lot of research before joining FOLKSY. I think their site is right for me. The only thing I felt was missing was a general introduction for newcomers laying out the steps to set up in order, and then allowing some way of checking it was all set up properly before going live.

Seller Experience

Only had a couple of sales as a seller in 6 months. Reasonable fees (much cheaper than Etsy) but need to generate more sales. Signed up for a year and will decide in 6 months time whether or not to continue as a seller on Folksy

Fraudulent Sale, No Protection

Purchased a table, seller vanished, table never arrived

Folksy claimed they have no obligation to step in and the money was lost, that they offer no protection to consumers using their site

Pretty appalled, wouldn't use again

Very good site

Really love this site with loads of talented designers and makers. There is a huge range of unusual handmade items for sale. It’s just such a shame that Folksy isn’t a well known brand as they don’t seem to advertise themselves. Other better known platforms have TV ads, buyers app etc.

Honest, friendly site

I much prefer Folksy to other, unnamed maker sites. It feels far more intimate and honest. As a maker/seller I find it very easy to use and love the shop layout. I suppose my only issue would be that not enough people seem to know about it, making it slightly hard to reach potential visitors.

online craft store

A great way for creators to show there makes and style on there own little online shop. Very reasonable fees and easy to set up on a phone or any device

A lovely gift …

I was gifted a beautiful resin piece for my birthday, it’s unique, quirky and individual. It looks great with my decor and is admired by those that visit. ❤️
