What you keep per sale
More per month vs. Etsy at $2k revenue
Tolerance for factory resellers
Same revenue. Very different take-home. This is the math Etsy doesn't show you.

Every decision is made to put more money in your pocket
Every seller goes through a real verification process. If you didn't make it with your hands, it doesn't belong here. Factory resellers are removed — period.
Our fee structure is fully public — no surprise deductions, no forced ad programs, no percentage that changes when you're not looking. 5% + 3% processing. That's it.
Rich "How I Make It" profiles so buyers know who made their purchase. Buyers who connect with a maker spend 2× more — and come back.
Built by someone who got frustrated with Etsy. Reply directly to the founder if something is broken or unfair. No support ticket maze. Real humans.
No listing fees, ever. Keep 85–92% of every sale. Your craft deserves better than a factory-flooded algorithm.
