OMGGGG!! I have been scouring the internet for a step by step guide to find out how to setup a shop. So MANY ppl skip over these steps! Your video is the hand held guide I was looking for. THANK YOU!!!!🎉🎉🎉
I cannot express how grateful I am for this video! I’m no longer wringing my hands, worrying about HOW to open my Etsy shop. Your video was the first AND only video to learn from. Thank you for showing every step slowly. I have subbed to your channel because of this video! Thank you so very much for your help! Sending love and light!🙏🏻💗🕊️
You are an angel!!! Thank you! I finally feel like I can't start. if you had any idea how much of a godsent you were for me. I’m at the end of my rope and I didn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. I’m not trying to get rich. I’m just trying to make enough money to survive and feed my autistic son. I promise you this I will do everything in my power to pay this forward like you have, so many others want to act like they’re helping and they give you just enough information and then they sell you a course. In my mind that tells me they’re not really making money off of Etsy. They’re making money off of selling the course. God bless you.
Glad I found you, researched several and they were talking more about themselves rather than going through the steps of setting up Etsy. Thanks so much!
OMG!!!! I loved your video. You explained everything great and you went at a great pace. My co worker suggested I go thru RU-vid to get assistance since that is how she learned and there you were God sent. I was nervous before but you gave me confidence that even an old lady could do this lol!!!! I'm getting ready to watch the next video and I'm gonna jump in feet first. Wish me luck
Thank you so much! I'm so happy the video was helpful. If you haven't opened your shop yet, the video I have linked below will be very helpful to help you prepare. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PLaZgHK057c.html
Ty for the video. I've been talking about this with my coworker. I was watching a few videos the other day about opening up an online store. I was very nervous about the part regarding shipping and payments. I want to make sure that I am doing everything 🙏 right.
You're so welcome. I have a few videos that will help with shipping and payments. Check out my Etsy for beginner's playlist. There is a video dedicated to shipping and one dedicated to Etsy fees and payments.
@@FunWithCalise Hi! It took me one month which was in July 2020. I didn't see large amounts until Oct 2020 which was Q4. Now keep in mind this is revenue not profits.
Thank you for this tutorial!! I have been very anxious about opening an Etsy shop but I feel that it’s time 🙌🏽 especially before the holidays 🎉. Question, I saw that you setup you bank info for payment but I also saw other payment methods that were excepted. What if your customer choose AfterPay how would you get paid?
OMGOSH!!! You’re amazing. I’m not discouraged or intimidated anymore with selling on Etsy. I will be watching all of your tutorials. ❤ * I couldn’t download the free 40 listing 😢
Thanks! I started an Etsy Q4 Challenge. You should come join. Check out my latest video. We even have a Facebook group and I can help you with the 40 free listenings if you still need help with that.
Thank you so much for this informative, easy to follow video! After you get your shop set up, where do you get the Etsy address to put on your business cards? Thanks again!
Shawn you did a most excellent job in explaining the setup process. However... the thought of them suspending my account after all of the setup procedures and then having to go back in and reapply (or beg them) to take another look at one's account is total BS!!! Thanks again for the info but I think that I will stick with eBay since I have been selling on their platform for many years.
Hi Shawn - thank you for sharing this video, I can’t wait to get started! I was looking for the links to the Relay videos, but did not see them in the description. Oh, can I set up the account and then go back in to set up the ban info? Thanks!
Hi! Here is the Relay link: relayfi.com/hws Yes, you can setup your account and then go back and change the banking information. You can apply for your Relay account, and finish the setup of your Etsy shop while you are waiting for your Relay account to get setup. Shawn :-)
Your videos are great and I like your personality. I used your link from the old video and started setting up my shop. Unfortunately, I am at a pause after reading Plaid's fine print. IMO, they have way too much access to my banking info. So...I will be setting up a new account at a different bank and then I will resume.
Thank you for you great videos. Will you make a video on how do you upload awesome pictures to advertise the product you sale ( for instance all your awesome Halloween shirt they have this gorgeous woman and different pose or a plant or a shirt on a hanger). How do you do that ?
Great video. You really helped me get my Etsy shop open today. I clicked the link for the 40 free listings and followed your instructions. I can't find any mention of the free listings in my shop. Please advice. Thank you! **** UPDATE I did some research and found the free listings. Thanks again ********
Hi There, I hope you can help. I am having the same problem with the 40 free listings. Please can you share how you resolved the issue? I would reaaaaally appreciate that... Thank you so much :)
Hi, I need help. I'm preparing my very first shop and I'm nervous about what to put for who made it. My product is a combination of 2 companies that I had custom make 2 separate items, which I then glue together. Basically merging the kitchen world with the office world. Do I put I made it or do I list the other companies, though they have no idea what I did with their pieces?
Hi! No you don't have to add the "Coming Soon" text on the item. I just did because I knew it would be some time before I got back to that shop to get more listings posted.
Great videos easy to understand. One concern that is a lot of personal financial information to give them and it's only as secure as the best hacker! Thanks for the video. Bob @ Glass Art
Hi your video helped me so much but I had there an extra step that you didn’t show, they wanted me to upload my passport or something else to verify my identity and I don’t know if it’s safe to share that information please tell me what should I do thank you
Honestly, it is difficult. They want all this information that you don’t know that you don’t have just to put a Tumblr up for sale. I gave up because I could not do it. I met. I was doing free shipping and they still one of the information on the week and stuff you know and how much it cost and I had no idea where I can go online to get that information at.
It is very difficult and it won’t let me in my old shop and now I can’t get a new shop cuz it says I need to verify bank deposit info and they haven’t even gotten to that step yet..
Excellent video, looking to open up an Etsy account. Do you have a video to help in setting up OR explain to setup as a business? Pros and Cons of individual or business? Thank you so much!!!
I am having a similar problem.. they tell me they can't verify my bank info, even though they deposited the one cents they said they couldn't verify my account... I'm trying to find a video that talks about this, so far can't find one.. did you resolve the issue?
I set up my bank account and went to save and continue but it's asking for a confirmation code from the email I set up for the account but no code is arriving. Now it tells me I tried too many times and have to contact etsy. your the second youtuber i've looked at.
What does renewal options mean? I think you should explain all options? I don’t know what that is or what the two choices are for renewal options. I don’t know if I should skip it cuz i don’t know what it is?
Etsy will charge you a listing fee each time you post a new listing. After someone buys an item from you that listing has to be reposted and Etsy will charge you another 20 cents listing fee. Because of this you have to say if you want Etsy to "Automatically" repost your listing and charge you the fee. Or if you want to "Manually" report your listing after someone makes a purchase. I keep all of my listings on Automatic so my listings are always available to my customers. I explain listings in detail in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--RKFUyb3nQw.html
Love your videos. I used it to build my shop and everything was on point. I have a question though, for my product, I need the buyer to upload a photo to me, I know etsy supports uploading text but what about a buyer’s photo, can you do that on Etsy, if so how, any help would be appreciated, thx
I could not follow you because I did not see the 40 items page when I opened Etsy. it would help to start from the begginning and show how to get to tat page.
Yes, you can. Here is an help article I found that will help with the process. help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000337047-How-to-Update-Your-Taxpayer-Information?segment=selling
Thank you so much for this video, very helpful as I am looking forward to opening my shop. Can the payment account used during shop set up be changed/ updated to a new one later? Also, can the set up be changed/ updated from individual to business name at a later date? Thank you.😊
Hi,I saw you just put a name for the Etsy store,my question is ,do we need to have a business register before opening an Etsy shop,J would like to open an Etsy store,but I don’t have any business registered yet because I junk this will be a hobby income,if you can let us know I will really appreciate it,thanks

Etsy does have an app that will allow you to manage your shop via your phone. However, I recommend doing the shop setup on a Laptop or pc. You may be able to do the setup on your phone but I have not tried it so I'm not sure if you will run into an issue during the setup process.
I’ve tried setting up my shop, but when I put all the information into the ‘how you’ll get paid’ section and click save and continue, it freezes and won’t proceed, you can see it’s been clicked becuase it’s grey but it wont to onto the next part, all the information is definitely correct too!I’m so frustrated 😖
@@jasmineeeethecatttt i’m so sorry that does sound really frustrating. I wish I could help but I’m not sure why it’s doing that. It could be on Etsy‘s end or it could be your browser. If it’s on Etsy‘s end maybe it will correct itself shortly. If that doesn’t work, you can try using a different browser. I’m sorry I can’t be more help, but I hope the issue corrects itself.
@@shawnshalest_hws thank you for replying! It have contacted Etsy but they replied with a seemingly automatic message so I’m waiting for an agent to reach out, I’m hoping this can be resolved because I’ve heard of this happening to others too!
@@shawnshalest_hwsI figured out what it was, when I was putting my first and last name in, it was into showing my first name on the banking part, so I had to put my first and last name into the first name part 🤦🏻♀️ they should fix this
im new to making a shop and i have no clue what to put in the shop, and was thinking of putting mugs, phone cases etc, any ideas where i find those from i need help
Nothing is scam proof but Etsy has put measures in place so you know when it is them contacting you via Etsy messages. They use a 3rd party service to add your banking information. I also recommend using a business bank account to connect to your shop, not your personal account.
Can you explain to us every single detail about shipping and how am I going to get paid. PLEASE I have been looking for a tutorial and I can't. Like how do I send the package and is the courier gonna know where to send it. And how will get my money and how I will charge the shipping.
