Seller Stories
"My shop started out as a hobby, then a side hustle to support my teaching job. When my first son was born in 2014, I decided to grow it into a full-blown business. Selling on Etsy has given us the chance to watch our kids grow while building our business as a family."
Nicole Lewis from Art 2 the Extreme
Noblesville, Indiana
"I never imagined running a vintage shop could make me feel like I was bringing joy into people’s homes, but that’s what I’ve come to experience. I love that it feels like a very personal experience both as a shopper and seller."
Alva Mac Gowan from Copenhagen Collected
Copenhagen
"As a mother of three African-American kids, I felt a drive to create something for my children, and children like them, who were unaccustomed to seeing their likenesses in toys. One of my greatest joys when I launched m5y shop was to have my children come in, glance at my prints, and ask ‘Oh! Is that me?’"
Shaina Adams from Paper Play + Wonder
San Antonio, Texas
"Sitting down at my workbench to create continues to be my lifeline. My business has continued to grow, and that success is affirming of the bet I made to follow this path at age 45."

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions about selling on Etsy.
How do fees work on Etsy?
There are three basic selling fees: a listing fee, a transaction fee, and a payment processing fee. There’s also an advertising fee for sales that come from Offsite Ads.
It costs £0.15 to publish a listing to the marketplace. A listing lasts for four months or until the item is sold. Once an item sells, there is a 6.5% transaction fee on the sale price (including the delivery price you set). If you accept payments through Etsy Payments, we also collect a 4% + £0.20 payment processing fee when an item is sold.
Listing fees are billed for $0.20 USD, so if your bank's currency is not USD, the amount may differ based on changes in the exchange rate. The payment processing fee may also vary by bank country.
You pay an advertising fee on any sales you make from Offsite Ads. When you open your Etsy shop, you can decide if you want to participate in Etsy’s advertising services.
What do I need to do to create a shop?
It's easy to set up a shop on Etsy. Create an Etsy account (if you don’t already have one), set your shop location and currency, choose a shop name, create a listing, set a payment method (how you want to be paid), and finally set a billing method (how you want to pay your Etsy fees).
How do I get paid?
With Etsy Payments, our easy-to-use and secure payment system, you may accept payments from a wide variety of payment methods including credit and debit cards, PayPal, Google Wallet, Apple Pay, and Etsy Gift Cards. Funds from your sales are deposited directly to your bank account in your currency, no matter how or from where the buyer pays. For sellers based in countries where Etsy Payments is available via Payoneer, funds from your sales will be deposited into your Payoneer account.
How does Etsy protect sellers?
Eligible purchases made using Etsy Payments qualify for Etsy Purchase Protection. This means that Etsy will refund buyers and you’ll keep your earnings if a qualifying order is damaged or doesn’t arrive. Terms apply.What can I sell on Etsy?
