So, how does this actually work? Well, say you are interested in buying a piece of jewelry. You first begin by hopping on over to the website....etsy.com, and start a search. It's best to narrow your search down, because there is so much to choose from.

Let's say you are looking for a gift for someone who loves the beach. You want to get her something that is versatile, and within your budget of $30. You search for "Beach Inspired Necklace." When the search comes up, on the left of the screen, you can narrow your search by putting in your budget. I would also put in "handmade" because you are looking for something that is handmade.

This is where you are going to need some patience. Remember, when you are shopping for someone at a store, you don't just walk in, grab something, pay for it and walk out. It takes time to look around for the best bargain and the best item for that individual. You see a lot of really pretty necklaces, and you love that style, so, narrow your search down to say, "Beaded Wire Wrapped Shell Necklace."

Finally you find the perfect piece! It is in your price range...$25! But then you notice there are some matching earrings that are $10. But wait! It says if you want the set there is a discount! You convo (message) the seller and find out that you get free shipping, and so you are right at your $30 budget for a set! Perfect!

Now, let me just say this...do not ask for a discount. If there is a sale our discount, the seller will put it in the description. That is why it is so important to read! Most handmade pieces you find on Etsy, are one of a kind, and these artisans work hard to create these beautiful pieces and at a fair price...so, it's really not fair to ask for a discount. Would you ask for a discount at the mall? Probably not.

Something you might not know...these sellers do have to pay fees to list their creations onto Etsy. That has to be factored into the cost.
So, now you found your piece. You purchase it, and about a week or so later, you receive it in the mail. When you open it, you know your friend is going to love it! By the way, did you know, sometimes you can ask for gift wrapping and even have it sent directly to the person you are purchasing this for? Yep!

Now that you received your piece, there is one final step that most people do not know about. Did you know that Etsy sellers rely on feedback? Not just so they look good, but they want to know that you LOVE your purchase. If there is a problem, before you go giving them a bad review, contact them. Personally, when I package my items to mail, I make sure everything is wrapped so it won't break. I also like to wrap it up to look nice and pretty when you get it. Once it leaves my hands to the post office, I have no control as to what happens. I give out tracking numbers to my clients, so both of us can watch it as it travels to their homes.
