But, if there is one thing I love about handmade... it's the personal touch. As our runner-up in the 2011 Readers Choice Awards for Handmade Selling Site, Zibbet went toe-to-toe with Artfire and Etsy, and proved to be a formidable opponent. The site has clearly emerged as a marketplace that you, the readers would like to hear more about.
Imagine my surprise, when Jonathan Peacock, CEO of Zibbet, contacted me personally after the votes were in. Now this is one point I'd like to press. I've found that Zibbet has one of the most accessible staffs of the competitive online marketplace sites. Jonathan is always prompt and personal in his replies, quite frankly, not something I'd expect from the CEO.
What does Zibbet month mean? Well, I'll be featuring Zibbet shops, showcasing handmade goods and the artists behind the work. You'll see interviews and giveaways, exclusively from Zibbet. That includes some special coupon codes for DIY Fashion readers (including 15% off the beautiful glass jewelry shown here from Steider Studios on Zibbet) We're going to shine a bit of light on this particular marketplace so that you, the readers, can get a taste of the Zibbet community and what the site has to offer.

Don't miss a single coupon code or giveaway from Zibbet shops this month. Be sure to subscribe to the DIY Fashion newsletter, and stay tuned on Facebook.
Did you blink? We have a lot going on in April. Catch Up on Zibbet Month:

Zibbet is an amazing site.
The people there are wonderful and it is more like a family.
Yaaay for Zibbet being this months pick.
I joined Zibbet in October 2010.. It is an incredible site to do business on!! We are so proud to be this month’s pick!
I joined Zibbet in June 2009 and have no regrets. Quite simply, I believe it’s the best handmade,vintage and supply venue on the web.
Yay! So glad to see Zibbet getting the attention it deserves! I’m proud to sell exclusively on Zibbet, and will be watching to see my friends being featured here this month!
I joined zibbet in January, 2011 – and likewise, best move I’ve ever made. It’s such a great place to sell and buy on, and the community as a whole is fantastic and wonderfully supportive.
So glad that zibbet’s getting featured this month here!
Whoo hooo! I’m zonkers for Zibbet! Thank you DIY for making April Zibbet month
Am really looking forward to seeing all of the features!
I know that you will make a lot of people happy, Rain, by introducing them to Zibbet. Every seller on one of the other ‘big name’ sites should check out Zibbet to see if it might be right for them and their wares. And shoppers looking for special products made by the most cheerful online vendors will be excited by what Zibbeters offer.
Zibbet has the most responsive and professional management team of them all. I can’t say enough good things about Jonathan Peacock and his staff, and the community of crafters there are equally supportive and wonderful.
I love this site! Incredible opportunities to help shop owners shine. Thanks Zibbet for offering all that you do.
Thank you, thank you for featuring Zibbet this month. I joined in 2009 and sell exclusively on Zibbet. Kudos to Jonathan Peacock and his wonderful staff for making it so wonderful.

So glad to see Zibbet featured this month. I joined Zibbet in Feb. 2010 and it’s such a friendly community to be with! So many great shoppes & talents!
Thank you so much Rain, for featuring my bracelets!! I LOVE Zibbet. Purchasing is easy & if you’re thinking about selling on Zibbet, setting up your shop is very intuitive with many options. I’m looking forward to Zibbet month here on DIY Fashion!! Can’t wait to see all the other treasures you found.
This is great! I now need to tweet all about this and get all my twitter friends to stop by!
Zibbet is a wonderful site. The people are so talented and the owners are so nice and really listen to us. I believe Zibbet will become number one for sites that sell handcrafted items. Love zibbet!
have been selling on Zibbet a little over a year now and could not be a happier camper. I learned so much from all the other Zibbet shop owners. And I just LOVE shopping there!
Thumbs up for Zibbet!
Thanks so much for featuring Zibbet! I joined Zibbet only a few months ago and love it! The Zibbet shop owners are all so nice and helpful; it’s a great community of people! WhooHoo for Zibbet!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Zibbet. It’s a great venue for selling and buying. There are lots of talented people to be found on Zibbet.
The administration of Zibbet is very quick responding to any concerns or questions. They work very hard to make Zibbet an awesome venue.
The community on Zibbet is very friendly with tons of help and advice from other sellers.

Zibbet is an amazing site to sell on! It’s growing by leaps and bounds each week. I believe that we’re soon going to be as well known as the other major handmade site which shall remain nameless. No point in giving them free publicity. LOL This is all about Zibbet!
I’ve been a member of Zibbet for a while now and love it! You can do so much with just the basic free account. I now have the premium, if only for the 30 day trial

Thank you, Rain, for showcasing Zibbet this month! I joined in 2009 and couldn’t be happier! This is THE most wonderful venue I’ve found. As you mentioned, Jonathan is always extremely accessible – even though he’s half a world away (literally). Not only that, but he makes sure to actively solicit input from the community about a variety of topics that affect us all. That is something I greatly appreciate. It’s also soo easy to list and sell on Zibbet! The community is incredibly supportive of one another through a variety of resources. If there’s a question that can be asked, you can be sure to get a swift response from the remarkable and talented folks that sell there. And buying??? LOVE to purchase there! I’ve gotten some phenomenal custom creations done for my sons and myself and purchased some incredible treasures. I urge you and your readers to sit back with a cup of coffee (or tea…or whatever you like! LOL) and take a “stroll” through the shops – I promise you that you will not be disappointed!
