A little more than two years later, Etsy has
100,000 active sellers and 500,000 members. More
than 1 million items have been sold through the
site, which has become synonymous with handmade
goods. Part of the site's attraction is its
simplicity. With just a few steps, a crafter can
set up his or her store with a subdomain and list
items at a set price. Users pay 20 cents to post an
item for four months plus 3.5% of the selling price.
