Share links, specifications and quantities
Share links, selected variants, quantities and the delivery country and postal code. Include intended use, must-have specifications and any design files.
Agree items, sample needs and quoted costs
Clarify supplier specifications, minimum quantities and sample options. Agree what you need to assess, then confirm the selected items, service scope and costs before purchasing.
Confirm purchasing and consolidation requirements
We purchase the agreed items and arrange consolidation. Confirm receiving requirements and any handling needs before placing orders with multiple suppliers.
Review shipping charges and approve dispatch
The items, parcel weight, dimensions and destination determine the available transport options. Review quoted charges and the estimated transit time before confirming dispatch.
Product costs, service fees and shipping are quoted for your request. Confirm any separate domestic transport, handling, duties or taxes. Available destinations and estimated transit times depend on the goods and parcel details.
Product eligibility depends on the item and your creative role. Read Etsy’s current rules before listing. Etsy Creativity Standards

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.
