Folksy Support were a great help
The Folksy Support team were a great help in assisting me set up my store and particularly with copying listings from my GingerLoafCrafts Etsy store. They were also very quick to help, so thank you so much for that!

Handmade by UK sellers only …✅✅✅
What drew me to Folksy is its ethos -handmade only by UK sellers. Two weeks after joining I’ve had four sales. Couldn’t be happier. App easy to use and Folksy support friendly and responsive.

I am new to Folksy so was not sure how things would work regarding making sales but I had no need to worry, everything ran smoothly, I was informed immediately by email and paid promptly through PayPal. The sold items were automatically removed from my shop view and easily accessed as sold items.

Nobody knows about Folksy
Not sure what you can do to help sales other than advertising. Not one person I have told had heard of folksy

Hi Lesley, we are a much smaller site than our main competitor and we don't have a huge marketing budget. That said, we do work really hard on our SEO and are constantly tweaking things to make sure Folksy items and shops rank as highly as possible on Google and other search engines. We do also run PLAs (paid listing adverts on Google) for almost all products on Folksy - which we pay for. Around 35% of sales come from Google. Considering our size, and that we are British and not global, we do amazingly well.
Never received never contacted
Ordered items on the 10th of December for Christmas never received my items and never got to reply for the seller be very wary of this site had to go through PayPal refund. Customer support told me I had to go through PayPal and that was it until they actually replied to review 15th of May 5 months later what a joke

Hi there, we're very sorry that your order did not arrive. We've checked back through our email records and we can see that you were in contact with us on 20th December. We replied straight away and tried to contact the seller on your behalf. Unfortunately the seller did not reply and we suspended their account on 2nd January. We did everything we could to help you with your missing order and we're sorry that our support didn't meet your expectations.
Genuine handmade crafts, lovely site!
Very nice looking and easy to use site. I would like to have the option to message the buyer to personalize their purchase, rather than just their email address. Feels like a nice size site with genuine hand crafted goods.

Why Folksy beats the alternatives.
I've had my own website, but that requires a lot of time that could be spent more enjoyably making rather than promoting. I've also had an Etsy shop which used to be for handmade only but now allows foreign sellers particularly to sell mass produced items cheap but getaway with calling them handmade. Etsy also have a policy of with holding a lot of your money.
So far Folksy has worked for me, visitors to my 'shop' straight off, reasonable fees, very easy to use. If you want a platform to sell your handmade items, I thoroughly recommend Folksy.

Loved the straight forward set up
Loved the way my Etsy items could be copied over to Folksy and I can continue to run the two platforms. Pictures and set out of shop are clear and well presented and communication by emails has been good - hence the 5*. I thought the monthly fees were reasonable too. On the downside it's taken 3 months to get my first and only sale on Folksy (whilst I have a steady flow of orders on Etsy from an established shop of approx 5 years). It doesn't appear that Folksy is a big enough name yet.... many I speak to have not heard of Folksy. If more sales come in then I will be overjoyed but its slow at the moment and it's the festive season and the majority of items I have listed so far have been for Halloween and Christmas events so a little disappointed to say the least with just one sale. Fingers crossed for a busier new year and perhaps I need to promote my Folksy shop more on social media.

Sellers review of a sale on Folksy
I received an email straight away re the sale. I offer a 7 day turn around however Folksy were unable to individualise this and suggested I send the purchase out within 3 working days.
Money appeared in my PayPal account straight away although Folksy fee is still yet to be billed. I felt communication was good. I was asked to complete this as a follow up to the sale.
The sale was through an acquaintance hence not via Folksy’s marketing.
