2. Bank of America Card

3. US (dual currency) credit card

4. US address, US SSN, US IP environment

5. Product pictures (must reflect uniqueness)

3) Advantages of American stores:

1. US stores support multiple credit cards and PayPal payments, while Chinese stores only support PayPal payments; PayPal's coverage rate overseas has exceeded 90%.

2. There are many options for logistics settings in US stores, and they support virtual overseas warehouses

3. American stores are more stable than Chinese stores because some buyers will not consider placing an order because the shipping address is in China.

2. Do I need a brand to join Etsy?

It is not necessary, as long as it is handmade by yourself.

1. Made by the seller himself or using tools

2. The designer designs the product himself, but the product is produced by someone else. This situation needs to be explained to the platform and the customer.

Both of these are considered “handmade” products accepted by the Etsy platform. Reselling and wholesale products from other platforms for sale on Etsy is strictly prohibited.

The above is an introduction to the entry requirements of Etsy. Chinese sellers need to prepare an email address, PayPal account and dual-currency credit card to enter Etsy.
