[quote=ghostrider]Etsy is more of a boutique, while eBay is a garage sale. PayPal, including the use of credit cards through PayPal, is widely used on Etsy. And while some call it confusing, it really isn't if you explore for a little bit...the same could be said for any large website, even this one.
That is a really good description of the differences between Etsy & Ebay. I have shopped at both, and Etsy is pricier, but more unique items.
