I often get asked and I am NOT comfortable with it at all - I feel I offer nice quality antiques and vintage items at the right price - I then feel guilty when I say I can't reduce very much because I feel I have priced the items correctly.

Agreed too, the income I make here is needed, haggling in my shops is off putting. Along with begging for free items Rosie: "How would you reduce the item anyway - if its already listed?

I would never haggle myself, since I personally price my items intentionally to consider materials, labor, and fairness based on the market, and I assume the same of other sellers.

If you don't care, it's not. If you have already made a purchase on Etsy be sure to thoroughly check your packaging when it arrives. Many sellers will include money-saving coupons or special offers in the package. Team up with your friends and split costs on larger Etsy purchases. This saves everyone money! Look for sellers that offer reduced or free shipping on certain purchases.

Doing all of your shopping from one seller could also save you a good bit on shipping charges. You are able to send sellers a message on Etsy. Sometimes they will offer you a discount if you ask for one, but always check shop policies before asking for a discount. Some shop owners clearly state that requests for discounts will not be accepted, while other shop owners will gladly give a discount if asked.

Having all your favorite shops saved in one area makes shopping easier and more enjoyable. Always check shop reviews before purchasing. Knowing their policies before making a purchase can save you from a hassle and money lost should something go awry.
