wow

Mosle is totally off base here! I am a seller on Etsy and you only get out of it what you put in and many people dont put their heart and soul into it and do not get much back. A lot of people work very hard and get a lot out of it! Just read the "Quit your day job" articles in the storque!

I have to agree

Mosle's assumptions were those of the "more feminist than thou" nature and were not founded in research - the demographics she cites in no way match the demographics that Etsy makes available to the public annually.

I have my own comments as an Etsy seller here:

I don't know anything about Etsy

but I have a feeling it is certainly no more problematic in "peddling fantasies" than many of the past business models like Mary Kay, Amway, Avon, or anything sold multi-level or on "party" plans.
