The Pros & Cons of Etsy vs. Shopify for Selling Online (Sell crafts, handmade & digital products)

I just set up my Shopify. I like it for the most part but I'm a little confused on the calculated shipping. Etsy was easy enough. Enter you dimensions and weight and you're good to go, no guess work.

thank you! Im about to start my own online shop for digital downloads. :) Im going to try Etsy

Hi, what about eBay?

where do canceled and refunded orders go on etsy and shopify? are thy in the cvs?

Since shopify reveals my home address to everyone and I have to apply for and setup all the sales taxes... Etsy is worth the extra fees in my opinion

I joined Shopify for the reason Etsy was more expensive. I am not happy with Shopify. When there is a problem the questions you may have does not get answered. If I had a choice to do this again, I would not go on any online stores. They do not contact me after letting them know i am having a issue.

I use Shopify and am happy with them. the options can be overwhelming. I like their support of POS, great for craft shows, which is s
where I make the most.
