Big Cartel Reviews in January 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

starting a small business with little to no funds? I recommend!

I think all of these 1 star reviews are reviewing actual websites rather than the Big Cartel company itself. I’ve been using Big Cartel for the past 8 months, as I just started my small business. It’s great for small businesses like me that can’t quite afford the £30 for Shopify. It’s a lot more simplistic and minimal, but that’s kinda good for newbies and smaller businesses as you can get really caught up in over customising your website. I currently use the platinum plan for £9.99, and I ...

I think the bad reviews on here are for perhaps not so honest website creators who sell under-par goods. However, if you are thinking about trying your own shop, this company have been great so far. Don't bother with Shopify etc who charge a lot. Now I don't know how scalable Big Cartel are but if you are wanting to try something out, try them. I'll be sticking with them for as long as my business can grow with them and they stay competitive.

Great site - bigcartel review

Having read through this review page in advance to setting up my site on big cartel, I expected it to be a tragic waste of time. I was pleasantly surprised and horrified at these reviews once I started using it. The issue is, the people writing the reviews on here do not understand the difference between reviewing a store using big cartel as their platform, and the platform big cartel itself. Since I have owned multiple successful etsy stores before, I moved to bigcartel because I was fed ...

This wanna-be Etsy platform is plagued with problems. They advertise as "free" but it's far from it. On Etsy you pay a measly 20 cents listing fee. With the Cartel you can pay $10 dollars or more in a monthly fee and if you make no sales then you lose a lot more money.The platform is small so they offer no protection for sellers or buyers, so scams run rampant on the site. You can list stuff, collect the money, and ship nothing and customers have no recourse.Other reviewers mentioned the ...

Do not order anything from Faux Fur Source. The orders do not arrive and there is no way of contacting them. Seriously out of pocket thanks to these guys.

Fauxfursource. Cheap rubbish from China

I bought a gilet and a jacket from faux fur source on Instagram. The gilet was cheap- looking not at all like the photo advertised and the jacket was light grey when I ordered dark grey. I will never use this company again. Cheap rubbish. They were Christmas presents

spent over £50 on a coat, never arrived and continuesly asked for refund, had no response. would not recommend this to anyone
