like in everything a little ammount of shops make most of the money, most shops make nothing or almost nothing
all those tiktoks are fake, noone is making money our of POD, margins are nonexistant, passive income doesn't exists, you have to work everyday to make your shop stand out and have great products

I make 5-6k monthy net for years, live in southern europe so its good money

>> No.53701827

>>53701806
5-6k is real good, can i ask what you specialize in if POD is dead

Had a business selling custom dildos for a while (yes really). Etsy would take around a third of any sale after everything was said and done. Just wasn't worth it in the end

false, Etsy take 6.5% fee on sale and shipping

maybe you made some sale from offsite adds, that takes up to 20% but its not the norm

>> No.53702239

>>53702084
Along with the half dozen other fees for payments and listings. They are clever about it sure by carefully chipping away at your profits in small chunks. But fuck em. Just wasn't worth it

>> No.53702256

>>53702239
those are credit card fees, provincial taxes or ad fees (that you have to set up by yourself), Etsy only takes 6.5 on sale and shipping no matter how much you say otherwise

>paying a % fee on shipping costs
nope

>> No.53702621

>>53702445
every single marketplcae has those to prevent people from charging extra on shipping instead of the listing price to avoid fees, brainlet

Etsy also hits you with a mandatory 12% advertising fee if someone who buys from you ever clicked on their fb or Google ads. Been selling their since 2015. Etsy ducks... start your own website.

What can you even sell on Etsy? I thought it was only for girls selling custom jewelry or something

There's plenty of male clothing items available. Men's underwear and socks especially, plus shirts and pants. There are thousands of other things. Just try stuff out until you find what you like to create and sell.
