100% true & YES. There is a bit of a barrier to entry right now. Part of the features we will be rolling out in the new year will be to lower that barrier - help people get an idea what they can do with a part and make things much more approachable.
Haha we don't have the equivalent of Regretsy but if it emerged that would be brilliant

100% true. I'll leave it to the seller if he would like to come forward.
Many reasons but here are two-
- Amazon has a flat fee you must pay $40 a month
- Easier inventory management when you have to just make sure 1 site is right vs multiple
- When you sell out many times over, inventory management becomes a huge issue

Great questions - as a maker, our rates are lower than Amazon - flat 5% of the order. We also reach a core audience of people like you, which tends to mean you'll sell more on Tindie vs Amazon. As an example, one seller sold exclusively on Amazon, opened a Tindie store, and we began out selling Amazon. He closed his Amazon store and now sells exclusively on Tindie.
As a buyer, you are joining a community of likeminded people from all over the world and in different niches. Some like audio, some drones, others lighting. In the new year we are launching more features to build out the community side of the site. We are a community marketplace - community comes first. We can do a better job on the community side, and those features are currently being built.
Great questions though!
