Folksy Reviews 

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.

Love to shop local and support small businesses! There are lots of amazing pieces and people who put their hearts into the work.

Folksy is easy to use to buy through but as a Folksy Plus member I love the unlimited listings gs and being able to take part in the special markets they run. Easy to list my items. Would love to be able to print T postage labels through Folksy though. But all in all, a great experience so far.

Hi I got email about work on folksy as data assistance it’s real or not because which website they send me it’s not look real you have to permote there products

For us it is useless and I believe was poorly thought out in its initial stages of being coded.
Typically this is meant for crafters who make 1 off items but maybe a range, for instance decorated hair slides of different colours and designs. You should be able to upload the photos add text, prices and quantities. Unfortunately you can only add quantities in one field which then pertains across the variants. E.g 5 different hair slides all 1 off's so 5 in total but it then is possible for a customer to order the 5 all of one variant which of course is not possible.
If they want variants to work they need to set up their site to allow qty per variant.

Great uk based marketplace which is better than Etsy. There seems to be no mass market Far East products on here, just arty products from genuine artists & makers.

I love Folksy and would not choose anywhere else for my shop. The selling fees are very fair and the whole process in creating a shop and loading products is easy and straight forward. No hidden costs unlike Etsy and only English designers selling genuine handmade products, no tat from China amd abroad unlike Etsy

Genuine hand made articles made by friendly people in the UK

Folksy is such a little known gem of a site! It’s like going to a giant craft fayre but without having to worry about inclement weather spoiling the day. There are so many incredibly talented crafters and makers out there and it’s great to be able to find so many under one roof. It’s a great place to find unique, hand crafted goodies for presents, I just love it!

Such a variety to choose from. The quality of the products is outstanding, and their prices are reasonable too.

I’m absolutely loving Folksy at the moment, it’s so easy to use wether your a seller or a buyer, everything is so quick and straightforward.

I love the fact that everything is hand made both from a buyer and a seller's point of view.

Folksy is a wonderful selling platform for crafts where you know everything is made in the UK.
Acknowledgement and shipment was very quick, the checkout process was easy, and received product excellent.
Highly recommend and will definitely be buying from Folksy again.

Like others who have commented, My personal view is on promoting the site and marketing in general! I have a feeling you are just sat on our subscriptions @ £7.50 a month x members? = £100.000.00 pa =/-
I can only speak from 30 years experience in professional sales and marketing positions during my working life.

On a positive note

It was really easy to set up my shop, list my items for sale and include photos.
When I sold an item, payment was confirmed through the site and all the information I needed was there to complete the sale.

This is the first time I have used Folksy, and pleased I have chosen this platform.
I have used a competitor platform which was supposedly for crafts, however, it has changed so much.
Folksy was easy to set up and had a considerable amount of choice and training. Love it!

I have found this website easy to use when creating my online shop. Lots of advice is available to offer help & advice.

I recently treated myself to a pair of handmade earrings from Folksy and I'm absolutely in love! They're so unique and beautifully made. The whole shopping experience was a breeze, and the earrings arrived safely and quickly. It's great to support independent makers, and Folksy makes it so easy to find amazing pieces.

I love the folksy website. It is easy to set up an account for selling with so far no pressure to run things so that you feel as though you are working for someone else like some other selling platforms.
The only down side is the app as you cannot really interact with your shop or see stats. The only thing you can do is add or edit listings and even then I have been unsuccessful at that as can't load photos, but hopefully it will improve.
I will stick with it and just have to work from a pc in future.

Disappointed to find out the only competition to Etsy can’t hold a candle to them in terms of functionality and service. Paid for the Plus option since listing without this would have worked out incredible expensive with a much smaller audience than Etsy.

The option to transfer listings directly from Etsy was greatly welcomed, but turned out to be extremely manual and involve downloading the CSV and sending via email to Folksy. Not a big issue but definitely felt clunky. I then wasn’t able to move them out of drafts, so had to email Support to be told I’d skipped some step that wasn’t flagged as required. When I finally got them listed, I received an email saying that my items were a copyright infringement (they definitely aren’t, and are sold on multiple other platforms without issue). At this point I asked them to close the shop and refund my Plus payment - they did the former and refused to do the latter.
