The Old Way Is Broken

Etsy used to be for makers. Now it's for dropshippers, algorithms, and fee increases.

💸

Death by Fees

Listing fees. Transaction fees. Payment fees. Offsite ad fees you can't opt out of. It adds up fast.

Up to 22% taken

🤖

Dropshipper Invasion

Search "handmade" and find mass-produced imports. Real makers get buried under fake shops.

5.6M sellers (down from 9M)

🎰

Algorithm Roulette

No one knows how search works. One day you're visible, the next you're invisible. No explanation.

0 transparency

⏳

Payment Hostage

Your money. Their schedule. Wait 45-90 days for YOUR earnings while they collect interest.

45-90 day holds

Built Different. Built for Makers.

Everything Etsy should be but isn't.

What Makers Are Saying

From our founding maker community

Finally, a platform that understands makers! I'm tired of Etsy taking 20%+ of my sales. The porch pickup option is genius — my customers love it.

Watercolor Artist, Toronto

I sell at craft fairs but wanted an online presence. This is exactly what I needed — local customers who can pick up, no shipping hassle.

The video verification means no more competing with dropshippers. People know they're buying from a real Canadian maker.
