Minding your manners in the Etsy Community
Anyone who has spent more than 30 seconds on Etsy knows it’s a bang-up place to buy and sell gorgeous handmade, vintage, and otherwise interesting items. But Etsy is more than just an amazing online marketplace; it’s also a vibrant community of fascinating, creative people. On Etsy, connections are created, friendships are formed, love matches are made, and lives are enriched. In this chapter, you discover how you can participate in this lively Etsy Community.
Any Etsy member can view Etsy Forums and teams. However, only Etsy sellers can actively participate in them.
Free Forum: Using Etsy Forums
A forum is a place where the public comes together to have a discussion, as in ancient Roman cities across that great empire. Similarly, Etsy Forums serve as meeting places for Etsy members. In essence, Etsy Forums are public message boards where members can discuss all manner of topics.
