FAQ
Services, costs & practical details
Who are these guides for?
Independent Etsy sellers preparing a first product or improving an existing shop. Each guide focuses on an operating decision and the records needed to carry it through. Read the product eligibility guide before committing to stock.
Are the guides free to read?
Yes. All six guides and their checklists are freely accessible. Purchasing assistance, consolidation and logistics delivery are separate services quoted for your requirements.
Is EtsyCollege affiliated with Etsy?
EtsyCollege is an independent learning resource and service business. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or authorised by Etsy. Platform decisions remain with Etsy.
Can you help me purchase from 1688?
Our team provides purchasing assistance, consolidation and logistics delivery. Start with the product link or specification, quantity and destination. A sourcing arrangement does not establish that an item is eligible for Etsy; your actual product and creative role determine which rules apply.
How do I request a service quote?
Email the team or use the supplied WhatsApp contact. Include product links or design files, variant quantities, destination country and postal code, and any target date. Charges and delivery estimates depend on the confirmed product, supplier and parcel information.
How should I use the examples and policy links?
Examples illustrate a decision method rather than a live price, fee schedule or guaranteed outcome. Follow the linked official Etsy rules for your specific situation. Keep the date and a copy of the information used for a purchasing or listing decision.
