if we (in the US) wanted to purchase from you, do you prefer purchasing from your online shop or your Etsy? or something else? sorry if you have answered this before, just want to double check what is best before I place an order! xx
Well, the answer is kinda tricky, because even though my FWS store is cheaper for you and I don't get charged any fees (but for paypal), purchasing from my Etsy increases my visibility much much more, helping me getting to a broader audience, but since they get a big chunck of my sales, stuff is more expensive there. Additionally, customers are really protected by etsy in case anything happens and they'll cover everything if your goods were lost or damaged (which happens once in a blue moon, but Etsy's customer protection is a really good thing)
For me, and considering my Etsy is doing extremely poorly right now, I'd say Etsy, but I understand that it can get a bit expensive for my customers. 😣
