Etsy Sweden - Shop for handmade, vintage, custom, and unique gifts for everyone
Basic Information
Etsy is a global e-commerce marketplace focused on unique and creative goods, including handmade items, vintage goods, and craft supplies. It connects individual sellers with buyers looking for personalized, artisanal, and vintage products.
Founded in 2005 by Rob Kalin, Chris Maguire, and Haim Schoppik in Brooklyn, New York, Etsy began as an online platform for craftsmen to sell their goods. It grew rapidly through low fees and community engagement, reaching over 10 million members and 800,000 active shops by 2011. Etsy has evolved into a major player in e-commerce with a valuation of $3.5 billion and has hosted educational crafting workshops in Brooklyn and Berlin.
Sellers create personal shops through the Etsy website by registering, listing items for sale in allowed categories (handmade, vintage 20+ years, craft supplies), and setting up payment and shipping details.
General Requirements
Items sold must be handmade, vintage (20 years or older), or craft supplies. Sellers must comply with Etsy's policies, including prohibitions on items outside these categories. Sellers pay listing fees and a percentage commission on sales.
