Thanks for the compliments, and for asking. Etsy has been generally ok, but lots of downsides. It is low energy and low cost, easy to upload and maintain and gets a ton of site traffic. Downsides include the site generally has millions of items mostly not so great in my opinion. So, while there are some fantastic artists there, it is very difficult to stand out.

But, on balance it is not bad but I also do not have high expectations. I suppose if I were more serious about my brand I would look harder at an independent site. I made one awhile back but it was just too tedious to maintain so I dropped it and simply use etsy as a convenient way to show my work and sell a bit.
