I started selling on Etsy in 2008, when it really was an amazing marketplace for handmade and vintage sellers. I left in 2021, because it had become almost unusable and as a seller that really tried to follow the guidelines, I just couldn’t compete.
Isn’t it TRAGIC!!! Have you tried Marcari? It might be worth a look, I’ve really enjoyed the site and never had any issues using it. The app version is really great. A lot of it is second hand but there are a lot of hand made goods, it’s also a great place to find books.
I've had good look, but I generally search for weird little accessories and wooden kitchen items. A lot of the wooden items come from eastern Europe (many from Ukraine prior to the war).
There was a nice old guy in Italy I got a pasta thing from.

Not the most "crafty" kind of merchandise but still American-made

All handmade by me and two other queers in the woods
