Etsy was designed to sell handmade products but in recent years they have expanded to allow vintage items as well. Now resellers that sell handmade, upcycled, or vintage items can sell on the Etsy Marketplace.

Etsy is the largest marketplace for handmade and vintage goods. Within Etsy, sellers set up their own Etsy shops.
Many resellers specifically seek out vintage items, which you are allowed to sell on Etsy. You can also upcycle clothing (tie-dying, repurposing, screen printing, etc.) to save it from the landfill and give it new life.
In Vendoo, you can quickly take all the inventory you’re already selling and crosslist it easily into Etsy.

When looking to sell on a new platform, it’s important to know what fees you will be paying. Etsy fees are a bit different from other reseller platforms so read each category below.
A general Etsy store doesn’t have a monthly fee, however, you will pay 0.20 cents per listing you create. You will also pay this fee to renew the listing each month. This is very different from other selling platforms that only charge you when you sell an item. Sellers in good standing can opt-in to an Etsy plus account with more available tools for $10 a month.
Once an item sells, there is a 5% transaction fee for the price of the item including shipping.
You can be charged additional shipping and payment fees based on how you choose to do your shipping. Etsy does offer shipping labels for some types of sales, otherwise, you are on your own for shipping and whatever those fees are.
On Etsy, you have the option of setting up a budget, which you control, for promoting listings.

Etsy does not require a business license to sell on its platform. You should research selling regulations in your area to make sure you are following all the legal requirements.
You must have a credit card on file to sell on Etsy. It is also required to verify your shop. This is for the buyer’s safety and as a backup for paying fees when your account is low on funds.
