The wait is over! Watch this video, follow along and let's get your Etsy shop opened!

[@KWANTlZE]

yes today I start

[@plash8585]

Thank you, this is video is very helpful. I only wish that I had viewed the video before I started to the process. Two hours after attempting to go through the process of opening a Etsy store I got suspended. Going through the appeal but it’s been 10 days and still haven’t heard why it was suspended. Looking to learn from your realistic standpoint.

[@patriciabock4299]

Thank you for the most in-depth walk through I have seen! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this! Great Information for beginners! You build up confidence and knowledge of how to do this!

[@Our-differences]

Thank you for this video

[@whateverjustpickone1051]

Well done sir. I watched this and went to my shop and started fixing things i had missed. Very informative.

[@handmadeandbeyond]

That's awesome. Glad it helped!

[@onlyagreeingsometimes]

Etsy Order fulfilment: everything sellers need to know. Would be good to have this as your next video.

[@handmadeandbeyond]

Great idea! Love the feedback for future episodes :-)

[@karenv6058]

I agree. Preparing Shipping Labels would help as well.

[@karenv6058]

This was a great video and very, very helpful!

[@nancyjordan5153]

[@handmadeandbeyond]

You’re very welcome

[@TAWNY214]

Thanks for the video!

[@namarrawilliams8525]

Gosh thank you so much for the information. I have just started up and won't lie it has been pretty overwhelming. I wish I had you sitting next to me, double checking that I'm not messing stuff up lol. Happy I stumble upon the right guy to follow xxx All the best

[@arlenek6797]

I am Canadian and was wondering if you can use a prepaid visa card to open a shop? Thanks. Sorry. Thanks :)_ lolol

[@BethFulcher-r8h]

thank you so much. I am just starting and this is fantastic.

[@johnmimist]

The listing,you put a dash after the first key words, then you used commas . Single or double space?

[@detaildz]

Great videos! Question they seem to want a lot of personal banking information that concerns me! Your input would be much appreciated!

[@handmadeandbeyond]

You have to enter banking info because that's where they transfer your money. Don't worry it's safe.

[@johnmimist]

What about jewelry? Would you say it’s for holiday, bday, etc? Or leave blank?

[@onlyagreeingsometimes]

How do you use Etsy's built-in shipping tools for international shipping?

[@johnmimist]

How do you adjust the pixles, you didn’t say,

[@Noelle-StilesHouseStudio]

Thank you for this content! I have a shop and want my wife to become a large part of expanding a vintage category. Can we be a partnership on etsy or should she be a production partner?

[@handmadeandbeyond]

You could just add her as a shop member if everything is being sold in the same shop. She wouldn't be a production partner because its all part of the same business.

[@onlyagreeingsometimes]

Would be good if you did a video of things to do before watching this video. Like get getting your product listing images etc

[@erovira]

After fulfilling all the info on "How you'll get paid", I click save and continue and then it gets stuck and i'm never able to go through the next step. Any idea? right now i'm on a page inside how you'll get paid, where it only says: HOW YOU'LL GET PAID "Etsy Payments gives buyers the most payment options and gives you Etsy's seller protection." And the save and continue button is grey, so I can't continue. Tried everything, going to my shop through "Hidden mode" to see if without cookies it lets me set up again my shop but nothing worked. Any idea? Thanks

[@simple2atee42]

Me either, it has been stuck at that stage "How you'll get paid" over a week or more now....I've finally reached out to Etsy yesterday but haven't received a response as yet.

[@dianab9590]

I am also in the same situation, stucked at the "Set up billing step". Did you solve it?

[@fondantfunhouse]

If I am using printful I need to put the country of origin and postcode from their warehouse ? But thei have more then one....I am so stuck

[@handmadeandbeyond]

You just need to pick one. You don't have to enter them all.

[@Our-differences]

This is me. Filling out the shipping information is a headache, I am not sure what to put in there.

[@onlyagreeingsometimes]

With international shipping fees.. would it be a bad move to add the cost in the price of the item

[@handmadeandbeyond]

No. People do this all the time. Or you can just charge more for shipping for International buyers.

[@EduardoPerez-bq7jh]

You didn’t mention how to clearly get through the “how you’ll get paid “ step yes the filing out fields it’s common sense but I’m talking about how people have to go through plaid and give their banking login info to be able to get to the next step. Or if there is an alternative to this. That’s very important information given the fact that you are giving sensitive information to a third party application. I think explaining that should have been part of the process of a video like this. Is it safe is there a better way to do it or did you also go through plaid. Anyway just a quick rant.

[@anakersyblanchard7323]

Hola! in my case I did not want them to have access to my account either (did not feel comfortable with) so I pick the second option, the one Etsy can use my bank account number/routing number instead of having access to my whole bank account. They accepted and yesterday I could of open my fist Etsy store.

[@Ludger15]

Unfortunately not available in Kenya 😢

[@gracegrace933]

I am watching from uganda, we cannot sell from East Africa?

[@Ludger15]

@@gracegrace933 yeah imagine and one can make cool money....

[@onlyagreeingsometimes]

How did you get to create your shop owner name as LL rather than your full name. And how much control do you have on creating a profile with privacy in mind to protect you from the scammers, etc. This would be a good video topic to make. Also, what about the customers' privacy policy 🤔

[@handmadeandbeyond]

You can edit your name in your profile to whatever you want so you don't have to use your real or full name. I used Alura to generate my privacy policy. It's a free resource on their website. They have other paid resources that are amazing as well too. You can check out the privacy policy generator here: www.alura.io/resources/etsy-privacy-policy-generator/?via=LLETSY

[@Our-differences]

This has been such a struggle for me. I’m from South Africa and I want sell globally.

[@jacyfleming7785]

This was a great and informative video. I'm opening my Etsy soon and I'm grateful for the tips

[@handmadeandbeyond]

You’re very welcome 😀

[@Usvlogs-jd6br]

Is it safe to put social security in this app?

[@handmadeandbeyond]

Yes. There's always a risk but Etsy as protected as any other major company out there.

[@onlyagreeingsometimes]

Why do you have to use your personal address and not your personal business address 🤔 I mean how would they know

[@handmadeandbeyond]

You can use a PO Box if you'd like which I use now. However, I used my personal address for years and never had any issues. :-)

[@manjalove9477]

What? Debit card not work?

[@johnmimist]

Emily’s flowers… trade mark issues??. Who said anyone was trademarked of the Emily’s flower shops huh?
