What is Etsy in New Zealand?

Read our wonderfully weird story

Etsy is an online marketplace for extraordinary products, from handmade goods to vintage treasures. We’re a global community of over 91 million shoppers and over 7 million creative entrepreneurs.

Discover unique finds and buy direct from both Kiwi makers and international creators. Whether it's home, style, or gifts, whether you’re hunting for something very specific or looking for inspiration – Etsy has it.

How Etsy works

With Etsy, there’s no warehouse. You buy directly from independent sellers on one globally trusted marketplace. Find original, handmade, and customisable products to decorate your home, to wear, and to gift. Filter by shop location to find homegrown artisans from around the motu or broaden your search to creators from across the globe. You can also filter by Star Seller status or the Etsy’s Picks badge to find shops with proven track records in customer service, quality, reliability, and style.

Why choose Etsy?

Shop local or go global – the choice is yours. Discover local Kiwi makers or niche shops on the other side of the world while still enjoying the security of a trusted brand.

Etsy’s diverse range of products makes it the perfect place to find that special something. Brighten up your home with cheeky pūkeko prints, keep cosy with NZ-made merino, or give an extra special gift such as handmade jewellery. With Etsy hosting more than 100 million active listings, there’s something for every taste and budget. Plus, many of the items are made-to-order and customisable, so you can reach out to the seller to create something truly unique.

Because Etsy handles the financial side of things, both sellers and buyers can rest easy knowing their personal and payment details are protected.

What can you buy on Etsy?

On Etsy, you can find the perfect print, curate a unique vintage look, customise a handmade gift for that special someone, and more. Etsy brings together small businesses from around Aotearoa and the world, offering a wide range of products across home, style, and gifts.

Buying direct from sellers means you can choose original, handcrafted, and customisable items. In fact, everything on Etsy is handmade, vintage (at least 20 years old), or a craft supply. Whether you’re looking for classic pieces of Kiwiana or precious pounamu, top quality mānuka for the foodies, or DIY kits for the crafters – with Etsy, it’s easy to shop NZ made.

How do you sell on Etsy?

With Etsy, setting up shop is easy. You’ll need to add your shop language, currency, name, banner, logo, delivery policy, and bank details, and (of course) list your products. You’ll reach over 90 million shoppers through our online marketplace and be selling before you know it!

But if you do get stuck, Etsy’s here to help – from taking your first steps to Growing Your Business. Make the most of our Etsy Seller app, marketing tools, and forums, and check out our Ultimate Guide to Marketing.

Why trust Etsy?

On Etsy, you can buy direct from over 7 million sellers from around the globe with confidence. With all transactions carried out on Etsy, you can rest assured your payment details aren’t shared with sellers. What’s more, the Etsy Purchase Protection Programme can help buyers get a full refund for qualifying orders if they’re unable to resolve any issues directly with the seller.
