I’m trying to start an Etsy shop and have been researching a lot in the past week to get acquainted with how Etsy works and what to expect when uploading digital items which means I’ve seen a lot of TH-cam videos; but yours was the best. So informative & straight to the point.
Can you make a video of the legal things that you may need to get and be aware of before starting an ETSY shop? Also, thank you so much for the video it is very helpful!
This was a great tutorial! I’ve been toying with the idea of creating an Etsy shop for years, and I think I’m finally ready to dive in! This was exactly what I needed. Easy to follow. Nothing distracting from the task at hand! BIG THANK YOU!!
ETSY IS NOT WORTH IT! CLOSED MY SHOP FOR A WEEK AND A HALF - AND I MISSED MY VALENTINES PROMOTIONAL FOR T-SHIRTS, AND I SAW OTHER STORES STEALING MY DESIGNS. ETSY IS A HASBEEN PLATFORM. THE SQUEEZE ISN'T WORTH THE JUICE. THEN THEY STOPPED MY BUYERS FROM RECEIVING ANY MERCHANDISE, DELAYED AND WEEK THEN 2 WEEKS, THEN 3 WEEKS, NOW GOING ON 4 WEEKS.

@@airdrummer55 Self doubt is inevitable especially in the first year when you're still trying to figure it all out. I learnt my lessons the hard way, the first year was really difficult. What is your niche?
@@shallommkj9162 I paint denim jean jackets, band themed mostly. Linkin Park, twenty one pilots, EDM, cats (not a band). I also do photography and art but that’s on the farthest back burner.
@@shallommkj9162 sorry I didn’t see you’re reply earlier. My notifications aren’t usually for personal stuff responses so I tend to only look at them every few days.
Thank you so much for the video. I was hesitating on opening my account with Esty. It sounded so difficult and confusing, but watching your video you explained it so well. I will be opening my shop pretty soon. Thank you so much!
When doing how much people will pay for your product in shipping cost, how do you know how much shipping they should pay? Or does Etsy set a price for you?
I believe that Etsy has a shipping price set for them, for example if someone’s buying your product and there super far away from your state or country then the shipping price will be higher.
I went to my local post office and I asked for prices..I am selling paintings that are canvas on wooden borad.I weighted them ,so then I showed at the post office how much would cost me postage with that weight as they have different size.Then I make a price of a products and shipping.
Please answer my question, what kind of bank account do we need to open an esty shop? Does it have to be a credit or business card? Can it be a debit card only?
When u make the account click open a shop I would recommend doing this on google so sign in on google then look for the thing saying open ship and do the steps listed
If you’re on mobile then you have to download the Sell on Etsy app. If you’re on computer, there’s a button in the top right corner saying go to shop manager. Click that and you’ll get to your shop.
@@cam4808 hii I read your comment you look pretty knowledged about Esty :) so had a question how can we sale hightights like printable ? Do we need to pdf each and every highlight?❤️
Perfect! I wish shopify did this! Shopify is also geared more with using Windows so most of the videos were with Windows. I also know nothing about SEO and such and yet being new to this whole e commerce and not knowing anything, shopify was no help. Way to many videos on 1 things by many different people not giving all the information. You have to be really good a putting puzzles together in order to put all the different videos together for just 1 thing and hope it works. I wish someone said to start with Etsy first as a beginner.. And why. I will be looking for your tutorials. They are precise, clear, and understandable. Thank you! Honestly, other than doing the get myself seen out there to get the traffic video, (which I'll be looking for), you covered more the 100's of videos I tried watching for shopify to just get things figured out! Dang girl you rock! Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you for this video! I am starting an online business and this video explains the process without being too wordy. It's straight to the point! Thanks again!
Hi there ~ Excellent! Sooo helpful! Question: I'm about to start an Etsy account very soon and I was wondering...how does one set up shop, take their time with things BEFORE their shop goes live? I know you can do this but is there a button that you can click?
You can do a lot of the work before actually setting up like writing out description in a word doc for example. Also you can make your listings into draft instead of active so they are not live to be searched.
So i planning to make digital planner with different size and colour. The question is can i make it only one place or made it separately by the colour Sorry for bad english 🙏
Thanks for the guidance.. In order to pay the initial listing fees of etsy they are asking to add credit card information. Can't we use paypal to pay that fee instead of using credit card?
hello! i know this is pretty late, but here's a simple guide for u! :D *FOR DIGITAL ART* ----------------------------------- if your selling digital art, follow these steps. 1 - 'digital file download' should be ticked during the making of the product 2 - include the art as the file and that's it! *FOR IN-PERSON ART* --------------------------------------- if your selling actual art (canvas, paper, etc.), then follow these steps. 1 - 'digital file download' should NOT be ticked 2 - set up your address for etsy (don't worry, it won't be shared) 3 - enter shipping price (optional if you want it free) 4 - choose what type of delivery you want it to be 5 - finish your product details hopefully this helped!
@@heyo8228 you could start with offering friends and family, or maybe find a Facebook group and offer discounted art until you’re more confident with your work!
Thx I was thinking about just starting and making a small business cause just wanted to make a little bit extra money and my mom said that I should sell my art on there so thx this helps so much!
No, you cannot. You have to publish the first listing to open the shop. Thereafter you can add listings, save as drafts, and publish when you are ready.
We are stuck on the step at 00:59. We click on "Add a Photo," select the photo from the file viewer, click "Upload," but the site gives an Error banner claiming "You must first have an open store to make a listing" & never lets us get past that screen. What in the hell is the issue? How can we upload a photo to make a listing when making a shop requires a listing, but making a listing requires a shop?

Hi I’m 11 and me and my 2 other friends started a earring business and we are currently just selling the earings in our town. My question is on Etsy if you are delivering something how much do you have to pay and can you make a video on explaining that
Thank you so much for all the help. I opened my first etsy shop crossing finger. I am not very creative but still tried opening digital shop. Thank you so much for everything
Thank you so much for all the energy you put into this video. It was so full of valuable information, and taught really well. This is the first time I have come across your channel, love it and just hit the subscribe button. I look forward to watching what you have already produced and what will be coming in the future. Thanks again!!!
I have a question idk if u would know the answer but since I’m a minor I have to put my parents info for the financial info. That means they would receive the money from my shop. Do you know if there is a way for the money to go straight to my bank account? Or do they have to send money every time I make a purchase?
I'm new to Etsy and I was wondering if you might be able to help me. I see some shops adding a $25. Gift Certificate as a last minute shopper. Would you be able to tell me how I can set it up? Also, how is it applied to an order?
Very informative video. So glad I found you on You Tube! :) However, I don't understand why ETSY charge for shipping - I want to sell my homemade pottery. I thought that I was the one sending the wares to the customers. Or does it mean that I have to send my items to ETSY. I would appreciate to get clarity on this question. Thanks a lot :)
Do you connect your PayPal after you’re first order or you just connect it when your signing up cause I am a bit confused on the shipping label and listing??
Ive been collecting vintage glass and such, been interested in learning etsy, do i have to have a bank account or can i receive paper checks in the beginning? Eventually getting a dedicated bank account?
Thanks for the concept. Do I need a Etsy Seller account to really sell? I have a Etsy Seller account and also the regular FC account OK I just keep my Etsy account and use that. Also, is it really good for digital products because I also have a platform for people put their money to work digital opportunities
Hi! Can I ask you two questions? Should my store name be my business name? My business name doesn’t necessarily tell what I do. Or should I call it something more descriptive even if it’s not my business name. My name currently is: Sterling Moon Designs by Susana (I usually use one the sterling moon designs for my boxes etc ) 2) can I build the store little by little BEFORE I publish it? I’m assuming yes
Thank you so much for this video. Very informative and encouraging without being totally overwhelming. I watched a different video on the same subject and was in tears and absolutely discouraged by the end of it. You have made me feel like I can actually do this.

Create With Pennies Not Perfection hi where did you search to find out if anyone else had your business name? Can you provide a link or make a video on it
You have the absolute best video to help people with the Etsy shop I’m going to start one myself now I’ve been on Etsy 10 years and there’s lots of things I’ve bought that I want to resell now back there in excellent condition so it’s a good idea. I’m so glad that you had this great tutorial would be cool if you did a part two. There’s a lot of other people on here doing these but they’re not any good at it you are very accurate with the real details of what is necessary at least for me. Thank you for being here.
Thank you. I find this very helpful! I wish I had found this prior to opening up my shop to take advantage of the free listings and also to take the frustration out of posting a listing and constantly getting all the fake "error" messages. I started over way too many times. Anyways my question is how do I create a second shop on the same account?
I have a question, do you have to got a credit card i’m 14 and i want to use etsy to sell things🥺 and i have a question: do you have to pay the shipping money by yourself ??
l have a problem. 7:00 at this momemt l press the button but nothing happens. Just the button turns into grey and then stop. Even it doesnt freez the website. The button is like nothing. What can l do ?
Hey! Thank you so much for this video! Just curious, I had a friend do a test "contact seller" and instead of my name showing up, it was a mix of letters. When I contact other sellers, their names are alwaya listed. Would you know how I can add my name and email? Thank you!
If i was to sell branded sweet and chocolates etc, for example a snickers bar . Do i need to have some sort of insurance ? Incase customer has allergic reaction and if so it surely it would already be stated on the manufacturers wrapper ?
Thank you so much so much for explaining all of this! I have a quick question on the new 2023 platform of signing up - including some called a "plaid bank" account sign up? Why are they asking us to fill that in as that made me want to run away right away as I was not Familia with some "jargan".
Plaid is just the third party software that they now use to connect to and verify your bank account. You can read about it and the security here: plaid.com/how-it-works-for-consumers/ It's used by many many companies to connect/verify bank accounts.
@@CreateWithPennies Thank you for your reply! It sounds like it does not allow you to bypass this? Is there a way to work around it? Or do you have to chose it?
I’m planning to open up an Etsy shop in the future but still trying to understand the big picture. I want to sell all the handmade jewelry I’ve made over the years but my two biggest mistakes was not keeping up with my inventory (meaning I didn’t save my receipts) and not making sizes for certain bracelet, now I read that I can choose not to make that same product but what if I were to make that same product but only make a small quantity (for example say I have three 7 in bracelets, two 7 1/4 in bracelet and 5 8 in bracelet) with that affect my shop?
Hi thank you for this video! just one question, so i need to get some kind of license to sell digital calendars in etsy? or these steps is all i need to start an etsy shop?
You don’t need a license to be on Etsy but you may need a business license depending on where you live to sell anything. You’ll have to look into your local laws for that, but Etsy does not require it.
How does shipping work? Do I have to ship things by myself ? Or will Etsy ship it for you if that makes sense, like will it pay for the shipping fee at the post office? Or do I even ship at the post office?
Thank you for video very helpful. I have a question. What if you want to sell different products. Do I need to set up for each thing that is different or can I just have one shop or store under one account. Thank you.
@@CreateWithPennies I made an account with your free listing link.. and my account got suspended today.. they said you violated our policies and used free listing and ban me permanently.. please help
I’ve done the same and only added one to see if I could work it out. But now I can’t seem to get back to add more…..HELPPPPPP where is the add more listings 😅
Create With Pennies Not Perfection ok thanks for the information.... so is that ok if I just upload my passport??? Is there anything that they need beside passport???
I've been a seller for years. LATELY I'm not only disappointed, but disgusted with the way Etsy handles business, complicates selling, and it's getting harder & harder to stay open. UNable to contact Customer Service for excess fees charged for one of my items that finally sold, I'm frustrated & FED up of trying. SUPPORT for sellers is a thing of the past. YOU SIMPLY CAN'T GET THROUGH. Please provide a genuine link to CS that ACTUALLY WORKS & doesn't go round & round to NOwhere!! Thanks!!
Thank you for your video. I would like to know if I can create different coupons that are related to different people so that I could understand how many users used a specific coupon associated with the particular person that shared the coupon?
Hi Mary After I completed the setting and published the listing, I found there is no "Buy Now" button on the page. How do I add the "Buy Now" button on my Etsy shop? Please advise. Thanks!

I want to sell my art just I don’t now exactly how to ship it and stuff. :/. I need to make extra money for my bird.
Same! For art as well. I’m not sure how
hello! i know this is pretty late, but here's a simple guide for u! :D
*FOR DIGITAL ART*
-----------------------------------
if your selling digital art, follow these steps.
1 - 'digital file download' should be ticked during the making of the product
2 - include the art as the file
and that's it!
*FOR IN-PERSON ART*
---------------------------------------
if your selling actual art (canvas, paper, etc.), then follow these steps.
1 - 'digital file download' should NOT be ticked
2 - set up your address for etsy (don't worry, it won't be shared)
3 - enter shipping price (optional if you want it free)
4 - choose what type of delivery you want it to be
5 - finish your product details
hopefully this helped!

Looking forward to future videos! This was super helpful!
Awesome! Do you have specific questions you’d like answered?
Create With Pennies Not Perfection hi where did you search to find out if anyone else had your business name? Can you provide a link or make a video on it
You have the absolute best video to help people with the Etsy shop I’m going to start one myself now I’ve been on Etsy 10 years and there’s lots of things I’ve bought that I want to resell now back there in excellent condition so it’s a good idea. I’m so glad that you had this great tutorial would be cool if you did a part two. There’s a lot of other people on here doing these but they’re not any good at it you are very accurate with the real details of what is necessary at least for me. Thank you for being here.
Thank you! I’m trying to do more as time permits from working on my own Etsy businesses. 🙂
Thank you right now I’m going to sell everything i own my mother right now might get fired so I need money to provide for my family
do you have mailers and things to send it in? if you want I can help u
You can get 40 free listings if you open the shop with my link.
I love miniatures. Those envelops are so cute.
Thank you. I find this very helpful! I wish I had found this prior to opening up my shop to take advantage of the free listings and also to take the frustration out of posting a listing and constantly getting all the fake "error" messages. I started over way too many times. Anyways my question is how do I create a second shop on the same account?
You can’t do two on one account. You have to use another email.
I filled out everything but it keeps saying " To publish, fix: Inventory" when its all filled. PLEASE HELP it does not let me list my item
The same thing happened to me
Sara1802 same here ;-;
Yes the same thing is happening to me
Same with me, I keep looking for answers but nothing's showing up :(
hi, i wanna ask if the quantity has nothing to do with how much etsy will get from you?
Thank you so much for this video, it gave me a lot of useful information on where to begin with my shop.
So glad! Good luck with sales!
Thank you for the video. I need to do further research into it as it is all new to me.
I'm thinking of starting an Etsy shop that sells jewelry so I'll update how it's going!!
Omg me to but I don't know where to start 😔
Thanks for the explanation! I have just created my shop, it is called Alyoshop and I sell digital stickers. Now I am waiting for my first sale hehe.
@@SandraDi sadly I made zero sales so far :(
YOU’re such a divine soul for sharing this helpful information. I appreciate your energy and presence.
-With Gratitude
😌
🙏🏼
I can promote your shop through social media with my advertising strategies
Thanks for getting to the point and actually showing us what we need to know.
Hello there
I have a question, do you have to got a credit card i’m 14 and i want to use etsy to sell things🥺 and i have a question: do you have to pay the shipping money by yourself ??
you would have to have a parent do it or get a student bank account
Does the 20 cents get billed every purchase someone makes or for every item you put up to be sold?
Yes
@@CreateWithPennies yes to which..?
Tank you SO MUCH this was EXtremely helpful!!!
Hey love I subscribed to you!! Could you subscribe to me too?? 💞💞💞
Do you recommend that if I have a watch that you can choose 5 different straps to, I should list ever watch strap variations?
So when you do sell something is there an email or a notification setting?
I get email and app notifications
l have a problem. 7:00 at this momemt l press the button but nothing happens. Just the button turns into grey and then stop. Even it doesnt freez the website. The button is like nothing. What can l do ?
I love Etsy! It is a great marketplace to sell worldwide!
It really is!
Good work.and thanks for not talking nonsense .
I'm new. Can you please tell me when we are listening we have to pay at the same time or when order generates they automatically cut? Thanks
Hey! Thank you so much for this video! Just curious, I had a friend do a test "contact seller" and instead of my name showing up, it was a mix of letters. When I contact other sellers, their names are alwaya listed. Would you know how I can add my name and email? Thank you!
Hello! You still have a queen regarding this. Let's have some moments to talk
If i was to sell branded sweet and chocolates etc, for example a snickers bar . Do i need to have some sort of insurance ? Incase customer has allergic reaction and if so it surely it would already be stated on the manufacturers wrapper ?
I want to start post my works for selling on Etsy too. I hope that this video will help me💕
thanks for this video! lots of great details and rlly easy to understand! also, i wanted to ask if i can change my shops name after i open it ?
does it take ¢20 after the sale or when you put it up it automatically has a pop up when you enter :)
When it’s listed. I opened a shop and all I did was add items and I was charged .20 cents per 2 listings, my shop was not even live yet.
Thank you so much so much for explaining all of this! I have a quick question on the new 2023 platform of signing up - including some called a "plaid bank" account sign up? Why are they asking us to fill that in as that made me want to run away right away as I was not Familia with some "jargan".
Plaid is just the third party software that they now use to connect to and verify your bank account. You can read about it and the security here: plaid.com/how-it-works-for-consumers/
It's used by many many companies to connect/verify bank accounts.
@@CreateWithPennies Thank you for your reply! It sounds like it does not allow you to bypass this? Is there a way to work around it? Or do you have to chose it?
Hello! May I ask whether all sellers are required to pay taxes or maintain a business license, regardless of the amount of income you receive?
You always have to pay taxes on income. The specifics will depend on where you live and many factors so I can’t advise as I’m not a tax professional.
@@CreateWithPennies Oh okay, thank you so much!
Hello, my country is not on the option. What do I do?
I’m planning to open up an Etsy shop in the future but still trying to understand the big picture. I want to sell all the handmade jewelry I’ve made over the years but my two biggest mistakes was not keeping up with my inventory (meaning I didn’t save my receipts) and not making sizes for certain bracelet, now I read that I can choose not to make that same product but what if I were to make that same product but only make a small quantity (for example say I have three 7 in bracelets, two 7 1/4 in bracelet and 5 8 in bracelet) with that affect my shop?
Hi, is it normal if they ask you to upload and JPEG of an official ID ?
Yes you have to prove your identity
@@CreateWithPennies Thanks !
Thanks for the video. I wish some of these videos focused on selling vintage products, and setting up to that end. Thanks!
Hi thank you for this video! just one question, so i need to get some kind of license to sell digital calendars in etsy? or these steps is all i need to start an etsy shop?
You don’t need a license to be on Etsy but you may need a business license depending on where you live to sell anything. You’ll have to look into your local laws for that, but Etsy does not require it.
How does shipping work? Do I have to ship things by myself ? Or will Etsy ship it for you if that makes sense, like will it pay for the shipping fee at the post office? Or do I even ship at the post office?
Mine didn't look like this at all I'm having so much trouble I wish Etsy had my help support
There is
hello, why when i click the open shop button, it turn to grey and nothing happen?
I’m super confused on the shipping part
Same
Same here, how come this video does not have a shipping PART?
Thank you for video very helpful. I have a question. What if you want to sell different products. Do I need to set up for each thing that is different or can I just have one shop or store under one account. Thank you.
Good job on tutorial. 👍 Do you like doing these? Are you doing a video about your other shop?
I do! I decided to use this channel to do more tutorials. I have a lot planned, just need the time!
Hey I have a question… I put 1 thing in my shop and I want to add another, how do I do that?? It’s really upsetting me:( I would love to know
I'm mad that I missed the free listings by a few months simply bc I was busy with college during a pandemic.
Free listings are still going on, it’s was not a temporary thing.
@@CreateWithPennies
I made an account with your free listing link.. and my account got suspended today.. they said you violated our policies and used free listing and ban me permanently.. please help
Thank you this is very helpful and shows how easy it really is to get the shop set up compared to actually making your own website.
how do we know about the shipping costs ? can someone help me out?
I’ve done the same and only added one to see if I could work it out. But now I can’t seem to get back to add more…..HELPPPPPP where is the add more listings 😅
I’m stuck on how you’ll get paid ... it’s funny in the end they asked me to upload an ID ???? Is this normal ??
Yes that’s normal. They have to verify who they are sending money to because you have to file taxes on the money you earn over a certain amount.
Create With Pennies Not Perfection ok thanks for the information.... so is that ok if I just upload my passport??? Is there anything that they need beside passport???
Not to my knowledge
It's a helpful video. I worried long time about create Etsy digital shop . it's complete video about create an account on Etsy. thank you so much
I've been a seller for years. LATELY I'm not only disappointed, but disgusted with the way Etsy handles business, complicates selling, and it's getting harder & harder to stay open. UNable to contact Customer Service for excess fees charged for one of my items that finally sold, I'm frustrated & FED up of trying. SUPPORT for sellers is a thing of the past. YOU SIMPLY CAN'T GET THROUGH. Please provide a genuine link to CS that ACTUALLY WORKS & doesn't go round & round to NOwhere!! Thanks!!
This was so helpful I’m trying to start my own Etsy shop and thx for putting this I loved it and it helped a lot
once you complete the payment section, on review, does it show the item
Thank you for your video. I would like to know if I can create different coupons that are related to different people so that I could understand how many users used a specific coupon associated with the particular person that shared the coupon?
Hi Mary After I completed the setting and published the listing, I found there is no "Buy Now" button on the page. How do I add the "Buy Now" button on my Etsy shop? Please advise. Thanks!
I have another question, at 6:32 when you explained the fees, what was the grand total of the fees altogether?
what should i do if i want to make drawing commissions but it asks for a digital file? do i need to sned a placeholder picture on there?
Most people I’ve seen show examples of past work or have a special placeholder indicating it’s a commission listing.
