Folksy Reviews 

Easy to use but you really have to generate your own traffic to your shop. It’s not expensive to use at £7.50 a month but if you don’t get sales what’s the point. You have to literally spend all your time advertising your shop on Facebook selling sites to get traffic to your shop. A big time waster especially if you are a busy person. Not good for me I’m afraid- shame!

Just By Debs was a fantastic seller, quick to dispatch and the sweatshirt was amazing. Would highly recommend this seller

Selling and stock control, reports and accounts, all sorted easily!
Very easy to get products up.
Not ideal that I am having trouble selling to E.U, but thats hardly Folksy's fault.
All in, an ideal solution for what I need.

Folksy is a fantastic platform for those who want to sell their hand made creations. As the pricing is reasonable. Handmade good made in the UK which I think is brilliant!

This review was for a purchase on Folksy, I am a buyer and seller on this platform.
Transaction was straightforward, great communication with the shop owner who went above and beyond.
Easy to navigate the site to find what I was looking for, some beautiful handcrafted pieces, so many talented artists and makers based in the UK. Payment went straight through with a choice of paypal or cards via Stripe. Good were despatched very quickly and beautifully packaged.

I have decided to sell on Folksy after my 800 listings of raw materials and craft supplies have been permanently suspended by Etsy without notification, just really one-sided action done by robots. Oops, I have even submitted passport, brp, national insurance number, utr number and bank details that have the same name, unfortunately, not enough and still permanently suspended!!

Folksy is really helpful. There are real humans in there, not robots!! And they help me sort out some issues relating to bills that I have mistakenly chosen for my listings. They are very helpful and treat me like a human being. They work with heart ❤

I just need to get the traffic to Folksy from my TikTok account. Who doesn't want to buy a beautiful Shabbychic premium high top quality printed grossgrain ribbon when the price is just £2.50/yard with £0.85 delivery fee (not £3 delivery fee like most Etsy shops event hough you just buy 1 piece of tiny button)??

My previous buyers will be looking at my shop. Hope they will go to Folksy.

Folksy has an amazing selection of wonderful artisan makers creating a wealth of stunning products. All the items I have purchased have been of very high quality, all handmade with care and with attention to detail. The website is easy to use and navigate through.

Ordered an item, didn't receive it, didn't get my money back, no way of communicating with Folksy or them issuing me a refund so I had to get a refund from my credit card company which is completely unfair. Will never use them again to buy anything as the transaction isn't safe and communication is non existent from the seller and Folksy themselves.

Very impressed with customer service as a seller, comprehensive reply to a query within 24 hours. I can only give 4 * though because without an app they are not as easy to sell with as Etsy. If they developed an app they would have a much bigger uptake from small business.

Yes, as a seller all good, sale a made and a very happy customer pleased with her purchase.
my only gripe is the operation of Folksy - no way is it a comparable alternative to Etsy, it hasn't got the exposure or coverage, it's seems it's up to the seller to do the item promoting on other sites. Having been on Folksy now for some 6 months and made only one sale as compared to 120 sales in the same period through Etsy, ok, the cost is dearer through Etsy but it means putting in a lot of work on the Folksy site to try and get a sale I will persevere with this site but I wouldn't call it ideal and these facts are not made clear when you sign up.

There is such a variety of handcrafted goods on Folksy,
The website is easy to use I absolutely love the jumper I bought 😍😍

Easy to list items, but not as much trafic as other platform

Always easy to use, great makers and fabulous choice of unique makes.

Would be good to be anle to speak to
Speak to someone when trying to sort out a tricky problem.

Despite my items being 100% handmade, my listing was suspended for not being handmade. I told them this was all incorrect, and then after Folksy did "further research" they deemed it okay.

No, I think you'll find I proved it was 100% handmade, you clearly didn't do any research. Maybe if you're going to any research, do it before you kill a listing and send an email full of accusations?

I keep being told to add stripe which I have done. It’s not clear on my dashboard that this has been recognised. I am not really sure what it is other than an outside agent - it’s not clear

I have been delighted with my Folksy experience so far. Excellent support from friendly and helpful staff. I love being part of this amazing community of artists, crafters and designers.

Brilliant place with some amazing British made crafts. Definitely recommended.
