Why Zibbet?

As soon as I announced that I'd opened a shop on Zibbet, the questions began.



Why I decided to open it was the predominate query.




Here are a few of the reasons.

You can open a shop for FREE, and, list up to 50 items per month on Zibbet. There is no charge for listing an item, and, there are no commission/sales fees.  Your only cost is for the payment transaction.  You have the option to upgrade for a low monthly fee if you choose.



The focus is on handmade,





















and vintage.











Although I've only had my Zibbet shop open a few days, so far, I'm very happy.

With the creativity flowing, this was the perfect time for me to dive into this new venture.

All this being said, I will reopen my Etsy soon.  I've decided to do both.  There are still good reasons for me to maintain a presence there.

I have other endeavors in the works as well.  I'll keep you posted.

However, for now, you can,



See ya soon.

This is NOT a paid post.  My decision to sign up as a seller on Zibbet was my own.  I am simply sharing information with my readers.  All opinions are based on my experience so far.

  1. I was wondering about that but didn't want to ask. ;) I've had one sale on Zibbet. My shop is in vacation mode now for when I decide to dedicate more time to it. Let us know when your Etsy opens again!

  4. Zibbet seems to be for the Indy crafter and hopefully will remain friendly. Etsy seems to have opened the doors to too many "commercial" ventures. Just my opinion. Happy selling...

  7. Love the idea that Zibbet is focused on handcrafted and vintage, Rosemary. It makes it a unique and special place to find treasures. :) I may be picking your brain soon about it all - as I have been throwing the idea around of opening my own Etsy or Zibbet shop.... :)

  10. I've bought several things on Zibbet and have been very pleased with my purchases. I did recently go back to buying on Esty too, only because there's so much more selection on there and it's easier to navigate my favorites. I'm very careful about who I purchase from though, being handmade is important to me.

    I thinking selling on both is a great idea!
