Foxy Findings??

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this...or anything else about the new competition. I just found out that they are actually FoxyFindings...a company with several internet identities, including one on Ebay.

I found out when I signed up for ArtFire and the charge came back under Foxy Findings.

Hmmm...

Oh wow, just signed up a couple of days ago! I don't have anything up yet, but thought I'd give it a try.

Interested in seeing what others say...

Yes, I noticed that too.

After opening a shop there, I've decided it's not for me.

I actually asked them about the charge from Foxy Findings and here is what I was told:

"Thank you for your email. I checked your account and everything is fine. The 7.00 charge from Foxy Findings is us we operate under Foxy Direct technically and Foxy Direct owns and operates Foxy Findings, Sterling Coach, Bellazanobeads (all ebay stores) and Artfire. Our merchant account that takes the subscriptions is under Foxy Findings. "

Hope that helps.

I'm not interested in it. It's not as "pretty" as Etsy and it takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to load.

What does Foxy Findings do?

I haven't signed up for ArtFire so I know nothing about it. But if it's a well run site with a lot of potential, I wouldn't mind if they had other interests.

I know very little about it, but I've heard the buzz and it's generally good.

I have several internet identities... is there bad press under the other name? I just signed up at artfire too and noticed that it's a bit buggy, but it's still in the testing stages. I too prefer etsy's look, but I like 1000 markets look even more...

I signed up as well. Is Foxy Findings bad news? Something we should be concerned about?

It doesn't bother me if ArtFire has a parent company that has its fingers in several pies.

This is interesting:

Looks like eBay tried to screw over Foxy Findings.
