Selling on Etsy
Use this guide to check that your items qualify for Etsy, understand shop and listing fees, and see which Etsy actions are and aren’t available through Nifty.
Allowed items
Etsy only allows three types of items on their platform:
Handmade — Items you make yourself
Vintage — Items 20+ years old
Craft/party supplies — Materials for making things
Make sure your inventory fits these categories before opening a shop.
Opening a shop
Opening an Etsy shop costs $29. This charge is non-refundable, so please make sure you understand what types of items can sell on Etsy before signing up.
Listing fees
Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee every time an item is listed, and every time an item auto-renews (every 4 months).
Listings created through Nifty are set up for auto-renewal by default. You can turn this off from Etsy directly if you prefer.
