FAQ
A few useful answers
Can I read the guides for free?
Yes. The guides on this site are free to read. Purchasing and logistics services are quoted separately 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.
Can you help me source products from 1688?
Yes. Our team offers purchasing assistance, consolidation and logistics delivery. Share the product, quantity and destination; eligibility on Etsy still depends on the actual item and your creative role.
How much does the service cost, and how long does delivery take?
We quote after reviewing your requirements, supplier information and shipment details. Product availability, processing, parcel dimensions and the destination affect the price and delivery estimate.

The site and its starter guides are available in English, Spanish, French and German. Use the language selector to switch versions.
How should I check a rule before acting?
Read the current official Etsy policy or help page for your product and situation. Use these guides to organise your questions, and seek qualified advice where your decision involves legal, tax or product safety requirements.
