How to Find Good Deals On Etsy.com

Many people steer clear of Etsy.com because, at first glance, the prices seem a bit steep. Don't let the featured items fool you! You can find some AMAZING deals if you're willing to search for them!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. First, create an Etsy account if you haven't already. It's easy and free!
2. Once you have opened an account and entered all of your information go to the "Search" field in the top navigation bar.
   
   Now, here are a few ways to find really great deals:
3. Type "PIF" or "Pay it Forward" into the search field and hit "Search".
   
   Your screen should then show items that only require you to pay the 20 cent listing fee and shipping. This is no scam. Sellers use PIF's as a way of promoting their products. The "catch" is that most PIF posters ask that YOU post a PIF or do something kind for someone else in return.
4. Type "Sale" into the search bar and hit "search".
   
   The results will show items that people have listed for sale. Again, you can find some REALLY great bargains this way.
   
   This is also a great time to use the "Sort by" feature. Just pull down the tab and choose "Price: Low to High" and the lower priced items will automatically come to the top.
5. Type "Buy one get one free" into the search field and submit. This may not return as many results as the previous suggestions but from time to time it will provide you with some pretty neat offers.
