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!🙏🏻💗🕊️
OMG!!!! I loved your video. You explained everything great and you went at a great pace. My co worker suggested I go thru UA-cam 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. ua-cam.com/video/PLaZgHK057c/v-deo.html
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 ?
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 :-)
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?
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 :)
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 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.
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
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: ua-cam.com/video/-RKFUyb3nQw/v-deo.html
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.
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
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
I made it to the two factor authentication but, when I clicked on send code it told me immediately “too many failed attempts. Try again later.” Any suggestions?
I am stuck at the "how you'll get paid" part.. it's telling me it needs to verify my bank account and deposit one cents.. a couple days later, I saw the one cents it deposited, but a couple days after that, they emailed me and said they couldn't verify my bank account.. :( So confusing. But they told me to just reconnect my bank and they'd sent me the one cents again... so far I haven't seen the one cents and it's been a couple days. I'm so confused. My bank does work with Plaid.. has anyone else had this problem? Is it normal? How do I resolve it?
(Bouncing off another video with comments turned off..).. it looks like Etsy thinks I have a store already? When I get to the "how you'll get paid part" it wants to verify my bank account by deposting one cents... apparently, this is what they do with people who already have a store? But I've never had an etsy store before... and after they deposited the one cents they told me they could not verify my bank info... does anyone know how to resolve this?
Unfortunately if you didn’t use a referral link to create your account you can not. But, you can drop your referral link here and if someone uses it they get 40 free listings and you will get 40 free listings too!
You can fill those in if they apply to your item. I skipped in this video because this sample listing will not be used. Here is a video that will explain how to create your real listings: ua-cam.com/video/-RKFUyb3nQw/v-deo.html
If you use someone's referral link to open your shop you will get 40 free listings. Etsy charges you 20 cents per listing so 40 free listings helps you get started without paying any listing fees.
Unsure what the difference between "individual" and "business" was. I had to go the LLC route due to selling laws in my state. So, I selected business during the set up process. However, I got an email from Etsy shortly after saying my taxpayer info was possibly incorrect (even though I entered the EIN the IRS gave me for my LLC)....Does the selection actually make a difference in terms of taxes, etc.? Also, once I select a platform for business banking, is that the account I have to use for initial billing? Or can I use my personal debit card to start off the first listing? I can't take money from a business bank account that has not acquired funds from sales yet lol....Some insight on this would be much appreciated!
Hi, I’m not quite sure what’s going on with your tax payer information. I do know everything has to match. Maybe check how you entered your LLC name and make sure it matches what’s associated with your EIN. But this is just a guess. In reference to the banking, you can use your personal card for Etsy charges and have your money from sells go into your business account.
@@shawnshalest_hws Had to come back to this because opening my shop was unsuccessful due to a huge, prolonged bug with Etsy. They are telling sellers their Tax ID info is incorrect even though it is not, and suspending accounts over this. Lots of forums on this topic should you wish to look into it. Super frustrating and I hope Etsy gets it fixed soon!
hope you all are well my name is adeem i am from pakistan i have account ban in my country so can someone tell me what can i do i want to work on itsi please someone tell me

and if you don't want to use your referral???WHAT THEN??
The process is the same. You just start from the Etsy.com website to sign up.

Hi, no they do not.
@@shawnshalest_hws Thank you. Also , if you not not really tech savy/ or good with computers can you still do this?

Unfortunately if you didn’t use a referral link to create your account you can not. But, you can drop your referral link here and if someone uses it they get 40 free listings and you will get 40 free listings too!
Are you supposed to fill out the occasion or holiday if you want more sales? I wish you’d gone over everything, and then told us why you skipped it.
You can fill those in if they apply to your item. I skipped in this video because this sample listing will not be used. Here is a video that will explain how to create your real listings: ua-cam.com/video/-RKFUyb3nQw/v-deo.html
You did not even show how to get to that page ? I opened Etsy and had very different picture and did not have that button ?
www.etsy.com/seller-handbook/article/38130386460
What do you mean someone will give you 43 listings. I don’t understand
If you use someone's referral link to open your shop you will get 40 free listings. Etsy charges you 20 cents per listing so 40 free listings helps you get started without paying any listing fees.
