Re: Does anyone use Artfire?

[Guest guest]

I haven't. I thought about it a little bit, but heard a few negative

things, and just haven't had the time to really check it out. How did you

like it when you used it, Kim?

From what I understand, listing is free, and you don't pay until you sell?

Probably not as lucrative as a good etsy acct.?

I haven't really used it but I just got something as an email that it is no

longer going to be free.

I really liked the interface for listing items. It was way better than

Etsy. At the time it was just out of the gate so it didn't have as much

traffic as it does now. I think they've done a good job with developing the

programs for the artisans. Someone on The Dish did a comparison of the fees

in Etsy and Artfire. Artfire ended up being about $1000.00 a year (yes,

that was one thousand dollars) cheaper for her at her volume. Something

about the listing and relisting on Etsy. I guess it nickel and dimes you to

death. I have to be honest I don't use Etsy because I just didn't like the

interface and now it seems like they have issues of their own that they

aren't really dealing with.

I think I'm going to pick up an Artfire account again. It's got to be done

before the 15th of the month when the fees go up. It's a flat rate fee.

Per month and it looks like they have a really good facebook widget. I like

the idea of using that and not having to list my products on yet another

ecommerce interface.
