Alchemy on ETSY
(IE Working as a Seller for a Buyer)
How Alchemy Works
In an historical sense, Alchemy is the pursuit of transforming common metals into valuable gold. In an Etsy sense, Alchemy is the pursuit of transforming your creative ideas and designs into tangible items.
Alchemy is a space on Etsy where buyers can post requests for custom items. Sellers then bid on the opportunity to make the item and win the sale. It's your opportunity to collaborate with a crafter or artisan to get exactly what you're seeking. Buyers can even make private requests to a specific seller within a shop. **
In reverse I can setup a posting for a "WORK FOR HIRE" type of deal. (ie I setup a posting for prototyping toys and or other things similar). Then we agree to terms, payment, etc, and proceed from there. There are lots of rules and regulations that protect the creative person and process which makes me very happy. =D
