Zibbet Questions & Answers

And again, I STILL NEVER see zibbet show up in a google search. Ever.

Yes, that would be a Zibbet website. Zibbet has a marketplace and each seller also has their own web page. That's what you're seeing. Beautiful dresses!

Yes, this is a seller's website. Zibbet has a marketplace and each seller has a website of their own as well.

It depends on each shop and their shipping times. You should contact the seller you purchased your item from and see what they say. If they are unresponsive, I'd ask Zibbet support. It may take a day, but they'll get back with you.

No, migrating your items over to Zibbet will not close your Etsy store. In fact, Zibbet just announced that they will be linking with other selling venues and Etsy will be the first. This means that when an item sells on Etsy the quantity automatically adjusts in your Zibbet store. This will be a MAJOR time saver and will make selling on both marketplaces much easier. Pricing for some of their packages is expected to drop, too!

You will have to contact the seller if you haven't already. Zibbet is a marketplace so it is up to each individual seller as to how quickly an item ships.

There are no additional fees except what your payment processor charges (Paypal, Stripe). Add the benefit of your own web site and it's a pretty good value!

I have been a member on Zibbet since it launched in 2009. I also started a shop on Etsy at the same time. Etsy was already several years old and had built-in traffic, so I made sales there. I was struggling to keep my Zibbet shop up with my Etsy shop, so I emptied my Z shop. During this time, I've heard WAY more negativity about Etsy than I ever have about Zibbet. Why? It's all in where you hang out. Go to the forums on Etsy, and you'd think no one ever sells a thing, Etsy is greedy and charges more than what they should (even though it's quite thrifty when you start comparing) and they won't leave things alone. I've only heard a couple of things "wrong" with Zibbet (again, it might be where I hang out!), little to no internal traffic and people that got charged again for a reoccurring payment. I don't put too much strength behind the charges that people are blaming Zibbet for. Mainly because if they went to Paypal in their settings, they could (and should) disable to reoccurring payment to Zibbet. Done. The complaints about no sales on Zibbet? Those are more valid, BUT; we don't know what they did to drive traffic to their own site or how long they had their shop. A shop that is there for two months doesn't gain any clout with the search engines, so it won't get traffic there. The marketplace does have poor traffic and will continue to do so until the site grows. Zibbet may grow slower simply because of the vast Etsy shadow, just like Etsy is dwarfed by eBay. Finally, Zibbet is just now making some nice strides. They announced a major improvement this week https://blog.zibbet.com/blog/zibbet-is-changing-our-biggest-announcement-ever/ It is exactly what I need to get my shop going on Zibbet AND Etsy.

Have been a monthly paying member for 3 months, NOT 1 sale or email from buyers with any questions. Will stick it out until the end of the year. GOOD LUCK! You might want to try Etsy, Ebay or Bonanza for BETTER SALES.

No fees on items sold, just a monthy fee or annual that you can choose from. You still have fee's from your payment processor (Paypal, Stripe).
