Gee I did not realize he was so young!

Has he left school yet ?

This is the Etsy that I fell in love with. I used to sell my handmade lampwork beads on Etsy.

finally a face to the name. cool.

I have been trying to sell on Etsy for some time now but not having much luck. Not sure if this site is as wondrous as everyone thinks. It seems the only ones making money on it are Rob and his crew.

I sell prints of things I cut out of paper in New Orleans, and I think I have met Rob Kalin and a young woman. It was a while ago now. More than a year. These folks bought a few of my pieces. They were from Brooklyn. I almost think I recall them saying they founded Etsy. I'd not heard of Etsy at the time. At any rate, I was wondering if someone who knows them or works with them could see if they recall buying cut paper images in New Orleans and let me know if I'm mistaken. Thanks.

Great video. Interesting to hear him talk about Etsy.

I can't wait until Etsy supports Dutch creditcards or paypal to set up your own account. I want to sell my art as well!!!

[EvelineUK]

There are lots of Dutch sellers on Etsy. I'm sure Etsy supports Dutch credit cards, and you can get Paypal in Holland, so no problem.

(I'm Dutch but living in the UK)

How about Vintage and Supplies, Rob?

[0isurfroxy0]

Both are sold on Etsy :)

[EvelineUK]

I know, but Rob doesn't mention it.... Vintage and especially supplies bring in tons of money, yet Etsy does not seem to like mentioning those categories..

[0isurfroxy0]

I would have to agree with you on that one.

[timewithtascha]

I love etsy! It is the BEST place to buy and sell things handmade :)
