Apparently, they're already charging a $15 fee (came here from your new video about their changes) and today I don't have the money for that. I will tomorrow, though. I'm sad about this, because I don't know if I will make the money back or how long they'll hold my funds.
Thank you for this. I am exactly in the position of wanting to set my new shop up, but not quite ready to start selling and was wondering what constituted a shop. So the test listing helped enormously answering my question. I'll go check out your other videos for setting up now.
Was setting up my first Etsy shop and got to point where was ready to create listing and got interrupted and now I can not figure out how to get back in.
you should know that when you are publishing video on RUclips with stating your geographical location (Australia) - you limit the initial reach of the video algorithmically - RUclips thinks that this video is meant to Australian audience and not for global reach = test this for yourself on your next videos (just don't set the location at all)
Thank you for this. I do have a question though, do I have to be a “business” to open a shop or can I do it as personal or individual? I went to my bank because I wanted to open a separate account from my personal account, and they told me I had to set up a business name with the irs, because I couldn’t have sales income from Etsy going into a personal account. But I thought that sounded complicated. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thank you!
If you have a business and you are trading under a name other than your own (if you are a sole trader) you need to register your business name in Australia.
Yes, but you don't explain in detail the precautions that must be taken into account, in the registration process to avoid being blocked.. Just a suggestion in case you want to share content of greater value. A Lot of people of Sudamerica wants to create a new store in Etsy, but you know, always is more complicated if you dont live in Europe or United States..

Thanks Jess, came here from your policy update vid
Will take next few days to make that final decision on whether Etsy or an alternative
Good luck making a decision, and welcome!
Thank you! Very useful ☺️
Glad it was helpful!

Not American so not sure on your banking laws and regulations, sorry!
Did you ever figure out the answer to this? As far as I know, you need a Tax ID #
Jess, do you need to register your Etsy shop name with asic?
