The other choices have been changed as well, I just don't remember the details. That is a great deal!the finicky stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600590038441649495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286747608538901945.post-43393401203638005882009-02-09T14:47:00.000-05:002009-02-09T14:47:00.000-05:00I love the fact that if I update a listing it pull...I love the fact that if I update a listing it pulls it not only to the front of the search page, but also up to the front of my shop. With something like 800,000+ jewellery items for sale, I'm not going to spend 20 cents over and over again just to keep my items front and centre. I'll do it for free on iCraft. I also love that if I list something new, it'll stay on the front page for at least 2-5 days, not 2-5 seconds.<BR/><BR/>iCraft Admin also twitters about newly listed items, which really gives a boost to views. If I list the same item on both Etsy and iCraft, the iCraft listing will have about 10x the views in one day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286747608538901945.post-40374298652037625192009-01-20T10:11:00.000-05:002009-01-20T10:11:00.000-05:00"You can "update" your items by editing them and t..."You can "update" your items by editing them and they appear at the front of the search.

BUT-I opened a shop last March when they were offering free listings and have only had 8 items sold in 9 months despite listing on a daily basis. An average of one sale a month as opposed to one sale a day on etsy just doesn't do it for me. I decided not to continue listing on icraft for now. Too bad, because the site is one of the best I've seen with no bugs or issues that I've ever come across, they just don't have the customer traffic that I need.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653903831722510380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286747608538901945.post-23084193041710407512009-01-18T20:41:00.000-05:002009-01-18T20:41:00.000-05:00When I see these "Etsy Alternative" uptdates, I th...When I see these "Etsy Alternative" uptdates, I think of the saying "Rather than curse your darkness, I shall light a candle."

The listing system has evolved and is very easy, one page. I went there the other day & listed a few items and had a sale almost immediately. Newly listed items appear on the front page for awhile, depending on how much listing is being done. Views are good. Very comparable to Etsy, maybe better.<BR/><BR/>You can "update" your items by editing them and they appear at the front of the search. No charges for updating.<BR/><BR/>I really hadn't spent any time on my shop until this last week. If I have to pay, I may close it, unless sales continue.<BR/><BR/>Here's my link: http://icraft.ca/foxazfoxazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652790979739277057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286747608538901945.post-73856679621363925112009-01-18T20:18:00.000-05:002009-01-18T20:18:00.000-05:00Thanks for the thorough, thoughtful review.
