You could also sell through multiple channels (Alibaba, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, etc.) concurrently. Etsy would make up a small fraction compared to, for example, Alibaba.
- itsybitsycoder 14y agoThe majority of Etsy sellers I see sell primarily through Etsy; those who sell elsewhere generally only do so through their own personal sites. Etsy (or at least the mainstream corners of it) is much more "boutique" than Alibaba et al, and sellers can demand much higher prices for the same goods. That's one reason there's such a big problem with resellers: people can simply buy things off Alibaba/Amazon/eBay at regular prices, pretend they are handmade, and sell them on Etsy at a much higher markup. So that's possible, but it doesn't really jibe with my experience as an Etsy user.
- duaneb 14y agoThe majority of etsy sellers couldn't produce the volume to justify expanding, I think.

- itsybitsycoder 14y agoLooks like they sell through Etsy, their own site, and a third boutique site that only carries their product. None of the other mass marketplaces.
