It’s home to a universe of special, extraordinary items, from unique handcrafted pieces to vintage treasures. A subreddit for etsy sellers on reddit to collaborate and discuss techniques and experiences selling their products and building their stores. Yes, etsy announced this recently It's going to pay for stricter id verification and to help disincentivize scammers and low effort shops from opening Honestly if it dissuades any more of the hordes of ai art pod sellers or aliexpress dropshippers from opening, it's totally a good thing I think it’s worth having an etsy shop, but don’t put all your eggs in the etsy basket
Work on getting really good at seo and optimizing your shop, so that etsy will drive traffic for you. The vast majority of etsy shops are not making remotely “good money”, that doesn’t mean it’s not possible A small minority make a decent or even obscene amount of money. The unofficial community for all things etsy, buyers and sellers both welcome We are not affiliated with or endorsed by etsy.com. People frequently come to the etsy subreddits and ask why their account was suspended or their listings removed
Read this, and the links within it, thoroughly There is a special buyer checklist at the end of the post Most commonly asked questions these things are covered elsewhere the in the checklist. I just opened my esty shop this week and in less than 3 days i had to put all the messages i got in the spam folder All where supposedly buyers asking for my email to finalise the sale or they just send me a private message with one of my painting without any text/questions For this reason, etsy has elected to revoke your buying and selling privileges permanently
