Here\u2019s a rundown of the most important facts when choosing between Etsy vs. Amazon Handmade:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"theme-block-list\">\n<ul class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-list desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-358201-identifier\">\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-741806-identifier\">Amazon Handmade enables a reach of 300 million potential customers while Etsy covers \u201conly\u201d 90 million.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-141743-identifier\">Amazon\u2019s fees are high (15% referral on each sale) and the in-house regulations when it comes to marketing your products are stricter. Etsy ($0.20 per item) tends to be more economical and offers you more freedom when it comes to branding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-310592-identifier\">Amazon Handmade has less competition than Etsy.

Unlike Amazon\u2019s general marketplace, where mass-produced, competitively priced products dominate, Amazon Handmade was designed for unique, custom, and handmade goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-423169-identifier\">Key features Amazon Handmade<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"theme-block-list\">\n<ul class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-list desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-395743-identifier\">\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-802581-identifier\">Seller application required (Amazon will audit you to ensure your items are genuinely handmade).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-69615-identifier\">Amazon Handmade requires a Professional selling plan, which costs $39.99 per month. Following a one-time, first-month payment, the ongoing monthly fee is waived for approved Handmade sellers. This saves you $480 per year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-168723-identifier\">No listing fees required, but you pay a 15 % referral fee on sales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-875567-identifier\">You gain access to Amazon\u2019s global marketplace of 300M+ buyers and over 2 million website visitors per day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-822017-identifier\"><a href=\"\/en\/blog\/amazon-fba-all-you-need-to-know\/\">Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)<\/a> is also available to your products you sell under Handmade, which takes a lot of work off your chest and pushes your seller rating at the same time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image gb-responsive-224852-identifier desktop-align-center xl-align-center lg-align-center md-align-center sm-align-center\">\n<figure class=\"theme-wp-block aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"3827\" height=\"2613\" src=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/16125922\/handmade-on-amazon-fees.jpg\" alt=\"Selling handmade articles on Amazon?

The option to use Amazon\u2019s in-house logistics (FBA) leaves you with more time to focus on creating products and pursuing profit-oriented goals, such as improving your craft and marketing your brand. Another major advantage is that Handmade does not charge listing fees (unlike Etsy). Plus, making your products Prime-eligible through FBA can significantly boost visibility and conversions. The downside, however, is that you\u2019ll be operating under Amazon\u2019s rules and regulations, with limited options for branding. Finally, selling on Amazon vs. Etsy offers one key benefit: competition. While Amazon overall is known for its intense competition, Amazon Handmade is gatekept through an approval process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-661546-identifier\">Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-454398-identifier\">Naturally, there are also a few drawbacks to selling on Amazon Handmade. One of the biggest is the high cost: Amazon charges a 15 % referral fee on each sale, which can quickly add up depending on your stock and prices. However, Amazon has addressed this by waiving its professional seller fee for sellers selling over Handmade. This saves you $39.99 a month. A further challenge is that you can\u2019t contact your customers directly when using Amazon FBA \u2013 something many buyers of artisanal products value \u2013 which can make your business feel a little detached from the selling process and customer journey. Finally, Handmade has a strict approval process, so getting started often takes longer than with Etsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-214861-identifier\">What Is Etsy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-524619-identifier\">Since 2005, Etsy is the dedicated marketplace for handmade, vintage, and craft supply products. Etsy is known worldwide as the go-to platform for buyers who want something personal, unique, and story-driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-16380-identifier\">Key features Etsy<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"theme-block-list\">\n<ul class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-list desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-779335-identifier\">\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-398930-identifier\">Simple setup \u2013 as opposed to Amazon, Etsy will not vet you and there is no application process needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-235630-identifier\">There is a $0.20 listing fee per item, plus a&nbsp; 6.5 % transaction fee and payment processing fees (~3 % + $0.25).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-949323-identifier\">The storefronts are highly customizable with banners, shop bios, and branding elements, enabling you to show your products from their best side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-295952-identifier\">Etsy community of 90M+ active buyers (as of 2025).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-323184-identifier\">Etsy, unlike Amazon, gives artisans a direct channel to creative-minded customers and the flexibility to express their brand identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-162037-identifier\">Pros and Cons of Etsy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-407109-identifier\">Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-407946-identifier\">Etsy offers several advantages for artisans. It has a strong handmade brand identity, attracting buyers who come specifically in search of unique, artisan products. The platform also has lower fees overall, with transaction charges that are smaller than Amazon\u2019s 15 % cut. Sellers benefit from customizable storefronts, enabling them to build a recognizable brand through logos, banners, and storytelling. On top of that, Etsy fosters a sense of community, and many customers become repeat buyers who return to their favorite shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-575808-identifier\">Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-568664-identifier\">That said, Etsy also comes with a few challenges of its own. Competition is fierce, with millions of active sellers vying for visibility. Listing fees, though small at $0.20 per item, can add up quickly if you have a large catalog. If you want to be successful on Etsy, this will require you to step up your marketing game \u2013 strong SEO and paid advertising are often necessary to stand out against the other 5 million sellers on the platform. Finally, while Etsy\u2019s buyer base is by no means insignificant, it doesn\u2019t have the same global reach that Amazon offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-496390-identifier\">Amazon vs. Etsy: Side-by-Side Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Amazon Handmade<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Etsy<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Application<\/strong><\/td><td>Required (vetting process)<\/td><td>No approval needed<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Listing Fees<\/strong><\/td><td>None<\/td><td>$0.20 per listing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Transaction Fees<\/strong><\/td><td>15 % referral fee<\/td><td>6.5 % + payment processing (~3 %)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Audience<\/strong><\/td><td>Amazon shoppers, broad reach<\/td><td>Handmade-focused, niche buyers<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Branding<\/strong><\/td><td>Minimal, Amazon-first<\/td><td>Strong customization, storytelling<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Shipping<\/strong><\/td><td>Self-ship or FBA (Prime eligible)<\/td><td>Seller-handled, Etsy label discounts<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Competition<\/strong><\/td><td>Lower (curated)<\/td><td>Higher (millions of sellers)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Global Reach<\/strong><\/td><td>300M+ Amazon users<\/td><td>90M+ Etsy users<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Customer Loyalty<\/strong><\/td><td>To Amazon, not seller<\/td><td>To seller\/shop<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-146668-identifier\">Selling on Amazon vs. Etsy \u2013 Why Amazon Is Your Safest Bet for the Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-937912-identifier\">As an e-commerce seller, you should be looking at Amazon as the increasingly safer long-term bet compared to Etsy. There are several reasons for this. In 2025 Etsy\u2019s stock tumbled significantly due to weaker revenue than expected and a heavy decline in goods sold. In the wake of this downturn, Etsy\u2019s role as industry powerhouse was questioned, especially since aggressive competitors like Shein, Temu, and TikTok Shop entered the market. Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketplacepulse.com\/articles\/etsy-lost-14-million-active-sellers-in-a-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Etsy has seen a significant decline in participation from its own community<\/a>, losing over a million active sellers within a year. It has also reported drops in both buyer engagement and overall sales volume. All these challenges point in one direction: a shrinking marketplace with rising competition and weak growth prospects for the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-528231-identifier\">Amazon, on the other hand, is expanding its seller base by nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketplacepulse.com\/articles\/amazon-is-less-competitive-than-four-years-ago\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">a million new sellers each year<\/a>, \u2013 and is becoming less competitive at the same time. Especially sellers on Amazon Handmade benefit from a less competitive landscape due to the Amazon approval and vetting processes mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-223684-identifier\">For artisans and entrepreneurs planning for the future \u2013 between Etsy and Amazon \u2013 the latter is the only option when it comes to a stronger, more stable foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-990385-identifier\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-422266-identifier\">What are your priorities as a seller? Choosing between Amazon and Etsy ultimately depends on what you value. If it\u2019s creative freedom, brand-building, and a loyal artisan-focused community, Etsy is the right fit. But if long-term stability, global reach, and access to hundreds of millions of potential buyers matter most, Amazon Handmade is the safer choice. In 2025 and beyond, Amazon\u2019s scale and resilience gives you as an artisan a stronger foundation for sustainable growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-575125-identifier\">FAQs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"theme-wp-block schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1758027711361\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What are the fees for Amazon Handmade?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Amazon Handmade charges a 15% referral fee on each sale, which already includes payment processing. Unlike Etsy, there are no listing fees, and Handmade sellers don\u2019t pay the usual $39.99 Professional Seller subscription fee that other Amazon sellers face. Shipping costs depend on whether you fulfill orders yourself or use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA). Overall, while listing is free, the higher referral fee makes Amazon Handmade more expensive per transaction.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1758027834435\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Is Amazon Handmade worth it?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">As an artisan seller, yes, Amazon is the platform to sell in the future. Not only does Amazon waive the Professional Seller fee of $39.99, but it is also less competitive than other platforms like Etsy.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1758027854403\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Is Etsy the only Amazon Handmade competitor?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No, Etsy isn\u2019t the only competitor to Amazon Handmade. While Etsy is the most known marketplace for artisans, platforms like eBay, Shopify, and niche-focused sites such as Zibbet and ArtFire also attract handmade sellers. Additionally, fast-rising giants like Shein, Temu, and TikTok Shop are luring both buyers and sellers with aggressive pricing and reach.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selling handmade goods online?
