Etsy bears many claims, like most businesses they tell you how great they are. They're just another Ebay without the auction. Sellers can be honest people or complete scammers. Personally I haven't been scammed with Etsy. For the most part I'm cautious on any website that hosts personal sales, as you should be. My problem mostly is I find it hard to believe that Etsy is like carbon neutral. They claim from the hosting servers to the app and etc. Not a chance. The amount of energy required to run a warehouse of servers is immense and those companies defiantly don't choose areas where they pay a premium for "green" energy services. Don't get caught up in the hype over this green energy fiasco. There is no such thing as green energy, just the distribution of carbon footprint.
