Hi Joel

    Actually, I just set up a shop yesterday and listed a pair of
    earrings just to see what would happen (My shop is covebeads). Etsy
    says certain things can be listed if they are not handmade, but they
    have to be labeled either "supplies" or "vintage". Everything else is
    supposed to be handmade. You can report abuse directly to Etsy and
    they will warn the seller (if that doesn't work, they will eject the
    seller). I appreciate the fact that you did report what you saw...as
    I don't appreciate that kind of rule-breaking..so, thanks. 

    This looks like another good way to "network" using the internet.
    You can add an Etsy button to your own site that advertises the fact
    that you sell on Etsy. You can set up a pretty cute site for yourself
    on Etsy. All I paid was 20 cents to list an item....and 15 people
    looked at it so far. 

    On the downside, there seem to be many young people listed on Etsy
    who must be paying themselves practically nothing. Prices that low
    just are not possible otherwise.
