Where should we go? I make little things frequently and friends have been telling me to start an etsy shop, but stories like this keep me away.

Handmade is actually worse than Etsy for this. I tried creating a Handmade account with the same products I sell on Etsy and Amazon basically said they weren't handmade enough. If you're not making jewelry or textiles, don't get your hopes up.
I love Amazon, but they will not be in any better situation there then it was at Etsy. New platform is needed.
I used to work for a company called Tictail (https://tictail.com) that promotes upcoming brands. If you're anywhere in the fashion, home, jewelry and accessories kind of space, it might be a good fit. Check it out.
Sounds like an opportunity.
