Hello, this time I'm going to share my experience to those people who are planning to open your own online store :D Hope this helps.
I’ve tried 3 online stores ( Storenvy, Etsy & Bigcartel ) and here is the comparisons+thoughts :
1. Storenvy is FREE FREE FREE , compared to : Etsy with $0.20 each item (every 4 months) & 3.5% interest if sold + 2.9% of total price plus $0.30 transaction fee , BigCartel limits to 5 items to sell – if free usage ( plan based on monthly fees )
2. Using Storenvy & Etsy, users can share @ ‘like’ items in the shop using Fb account. Bigcartel can’t.
3. Etsy is already ‘kind-of’ a hand-made community ( Good for hand-mades seller only ), they are supporting each other. Bigcartel focuses on independent artists, mainly the most popular online stores platform nowadays. Storenvy is pretty new.
4. Storenvy let you customize your shop for FREE, while Etsy & Bigcartel limit this freedom.
5. Storenvy doesn’t let user change their domain address, we just have to bring ‘storenvy’ name everywhere :p But I don't mind this.

So, if you are new, I suggest you to use Storenvy. It is really easy to use, can be connected to your fb page, and easy to share :) Did I mentioned, it is FREE ?
