A comment on Ask HN: How would you take on eBay?.
To me etsy was a nichified idea of ebay:
-remove the auctions since these people want just want to sell whenever the item gets sold
-make it super easy for crafts to sell their stuff; make it easier than ebay.
-make the fees more reasonable
-make the first time use - dead easy; unlike the ebay experience - so many options and too confusing. People scared of making a mistake.
What were these crafts people using before etsy: ebay.
