Are there any good alternatives to Etsy that Beehaw likes? (programming.dev)

I love the idea of supporting small business and quality, handcrafted items. But Etsy seems to be more focused on drop shipping and it becomes a hassle to investigate every item I purchase to determine whether it ships from China or not.

Does anyone know of any alternatives with a good reputation?

They'll have non-member options for sellers once it's out of beta, too. Supporter members can also sell (lower buy-in cost), but the Coop commission is higher (not as high as non-member will be).

I've purchased several things there, and I've loved everything. (I'm not an artisan or crafter, just a buyer of art and craft.)
