Advantages: Huge selection of handmade goods and supplies

Disadvantages: Not all people accept PayPal as payment

In their own words: "DaWanda is the place for unique and individual products and people. Buy handmade and hard to find goods, share your discoveries with your friends and create your own collections. "

DaWanda is a company based in Berlin, Germany and it has been around for 2 years now. It is a place where you can buy and sell handmade goods and supplies.
You can find many different products like jewelry, handbags, furniture, home accessories, beauty products... it is really a vast selection you can find there.

Buying is very straight forward and you can pay using PayPal, bank transfer or cash but it depends on each individual seller. This sometimes can be a problem as some sellers just accept bank transfer and for people in the UK, sending money abroad is not a cheap affair.

Setting up a shop is also easy and so far they are only charging if you sell something, 5% of the product sold to be more precise.
The invoices can be paid also using PayPal or bank transfer and they sent you an email informing when you need to pay.
Each product can have up to four pictures and you can choose to have a description in German or French if you happen to know any of these languages.

Worth having a look! Explore the handmade world.

Summary: Great if you are looking for something original and unique
