Hi All;
Liz has been selling her art on Etcy for the last few years.
Lately, they seem to be getting greedy. More rules , more costs, non voluntary enrollment in program's you might not want. She and other sellers have not been happy with them for a while!

She stumbled on to a new site. Called goimagine, they are not even open yet, but expect to start by the end of this month.
She is in the first group accepted and is anxiously awaiting their opening to the permies.
What makes this such an interesting store, is they are non profit! All profit will go to feeding children around the globe! How cool is that! What a concept... I hope it takes off!
Will this take off ???  A lot of sellers in Etcy/ebay/amazon  are unhappy, they are wanting a new platform to sell handmade items!   This could be it.

For any aspiring artists out there, you might want to check this out. Getting in the ground floor of a new startup can be an exciting place to be... if it takes off!

I had a poke about.  Love that the listing includes information about where it's shipping from, although it took a while to figure out this was the usa state and not the two letter international country code (ie, CA is usually canada, but in this case it seems to be California, etc).  Their "search everywhere" button also seems to be usa focused and there is no way to ship to countries outside the usa.

But it's still going strong and would be useful for sellers in the usa limiting their customer base in the usa.  Which migh have some advantages in 2025 as the buy local movement is gaining momentum all over the world.
