Etsy
We launch and manage a shop on Etsy (handmade, vintage, craft, digital goods): registration, listings, tags/SEO, photos, policies, analytics. Honestly and bluntly upfront: Etsy is a niche platform with strict category rules (handmade/vintage/craft supplies/digital), and presence does NOT guarantee sales. Non-compliance with category rules leads to blocking, the Etsy algorithm decides ranking, reviews are only genuine, there are fees and listing fees. Without promises of sales and top.
Etsy — overview
Etsy is launching and managing a shop on Etsy: registration, checking product compliance with Etsy rules (handmade/vintage 20+ years/craft supplies/digital goods — other is prohibited), creating/optimizing listings (titles, tags, attributes, SEO for Etsy search), quality photos, shop policies (shipping/returns), participating in Etsy Ads (optional), analytics, working with genuine reviews, tracking rules. The work: compliance, listings/SEO, policies, operations. Honestly about 'strict category rules', this is key and fundamental: Etsy allows only handmade, vintage (20+ years), craft supplies and digital goods; selling resale/mass-market disguised as handmade violates the rules and leads to shop blocking — we honestly check compliance before the start, and if the product does not suit Etsy, we will say so directly. Honestly about 'presence ≠ sales': launch and management increase the chances, but sales depend on the uniqueness/quality of the product, the niche, price, photos, demand, competition, reviews — not on the fact of the shop. 'We open a shop on Etsy — sales will come' = a lie. Honestly about 'the Etsy algorithm decides ranking': the position in search is determined by the algorithm (tag relevance, listing quality, sales, reviews, recency) — we optimize tags/SEO, but top is not guaranteed. Honestly about 'fees and listing fees': Etsy takes a listing fee for publishing + a sale commission + payment/advertising — it affects the economics. Honestly about 'no inflation': reviews are only genuine. Honestly about 'international specifics': Etsy is a global platform (currency, shipping, taxes/customs) — we account for it. Honestly about the effect: it launches and manages a shop on Etsy (rule compliance, listings/tags/SEO, photos, policies, analytics, genuine reviews), increasing the chances and removing errors, but presence ≠ sales; strict category rules (blocking for violation); the Etsy algorithm decides ranking; fees/listing fees; international specifics; no inflation. Honestly about access: a suitable Etsy product (handmade/vintage/craft/digital), photos/materials, a shipping solution are needed. An important boundary: this is Etsy; eBay — 588; AliExpress — 590; Amazon — 583-587. The base price starts from 22,000 ₽ for launch/management (excluding fees/listing fees/advertising).

FAQ
We open a shop on Etsy — will sales come?
Not by themselves, honestly: launch and management increase the chances, but sales depend on the uniqueness/quality of the product, the niche, price, photos, demand, competition, reviews — not on the fact of the shop. The Etsy algorithm decides ranking. We honestly run the shop as work, without guarantees of sales and top.
Can any product be sold on Etsy?
No, honestly: Etsy allows only handmade, vintage (20+ years), craft supplies and digital goods; resale/mass-market disguised as handmade violates the rules and leads to shop blocking. We will honestly check compliance before the start and say directly if your product does not suit Etsy — another platform would be better.
Can you inflate reviews for a boost?
No, honestly: inflating reviews violates Etsy rules and deceives the buyer (a sanction risk). We work only with genuine reviews and legal optimization (tags/SEO/photos). We do not do inflation — this is fundamental.
