Neither of them have marketplaces for custom made goods (for the most part at least compared to etsy) and both are in competition with each other to expand their marketplaces to as far as they can go.
Seems like it would be a good fit to me. I'm not sure how it ultimately gets integrated it (maybe it doesn't?).
- narrowrail 11y agoWhat about Amazon? They launched a competing marketplace in October: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/08/business/amazon-challenges-etsy-with-strictly-handmade-marketplace.html http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/08/business/amazon-challenges... But, don't let that stop you...
- BinaryIdiot 11y agoI didn't even know about that and neither did my wife who is obsessed with etsy. I'm not sure Amazon by itself is going to draw in the huge amount of users etsy as brought in; I could easily see etsy augmenting their existing offering. Just my opinion though. Who knows for real.
- tedmiston 11y agoI was just about to ask about Amazon's Handmade. 50K items posted in the last 30 days and 100-200k sellers (who knows if that excludes inactive). Perhaps it has gained some ground.

Here's a perspective from a seller who is on both Etsy and Amazon Handmade: https://www.reddit.com/r/handmadeamazon/comments/3xncph/how_is_your_shop_doing_and_has_anyone_figured_out/cy6pbod https://www.reddit.com/r/handmadeamazon/comments/3xncph/how_...
