(And always remove any previous seller\u2019s labels if you sourced from a manufacturer.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may seem restrictive, it is important to note that Amazon has its own massive customer base, and promoting your brand within its platform can still be beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, while<strong> Etsy allows for more freedom<\/strong> in including business cards and extra promotional materials with packaging, Amazon&#8217;s prohibition on external links doesn&#8217;t diminish the value of branded packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\ud83d\udc49 Check out<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/dropshipping.com\/article\/private-label-dropshipping-product-examples\/\"><em> Private Label Dropshipping: 20 Suppliers To Start With<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-marketing-amp-advertising-tools\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Marketing_Advertising_Tools\"><\/span>5. <strong>Marketing &amp; Advertising<\/strong> Tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<style>\n  .comparison-box {\n    font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;\n    display: flex;\n    gap: 20px;\n    margin: 20px 0;\n  }\n  .platform-box {\n    flex: 1;\n    background: #fef6e4;\n    border: 2px solid #ff884d;\n    border-radius: 12px;\n    padding: 20px;\n    transition: transform 0.3s ease;\n    cursor: pointer;\n    position: relative;\n  }\n  .platform-box:hover {\n    transform: scale(1.03);\n    box-shadow: 0 0 15px #ffa366;\n    z-index: 2;\n  }\n  .platform-title {\n    font-size: 22px;\n    font-weight: bold;\n    color: #e76f51;\n    margin-bottom: 10px;\n  }\n  .category-list {\n    font-size: 16px;\n    line-height: 1.6;\n    color: #2f4f4f;\n  }\n  .winner-box {\n    margin-top: 30px;\n    background: #ffeadb;\n    border-left: 8px solid #ff6f00;\n    padding: 20px;\n    border-radius: 10px;\n    font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;\n  }\n  .winner-title {\n    font-size: 20px;\n    font-weight: bold;\n    color: #d35400;\n  }\n  .winner-reason {\n    margin-top: 10px;\n    font-size: 16px;\n    color: #4e342e;\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"comparison-box\">\n  <div class=\"platform-box\">\n    <div class=\"platform-title\">\ud83d\udcc8 Amazon Handmade Marketing<\/div>\n    <div class=\"category-list\">\n      <b>\u2022 Sponsored Product Ads<\/b>: PPC ads targeting keywords or ASINs<br>\n      <b>\u2022 Sponsored Brands\/Videos<\/b>: Only with Brand Registry<br>\n      <b>\u2022 High competition<\/b>: Requires keyword optimization and budget control<br>\n      <b>\u2022 Featured in Amazon Gift Guides<\/b> and seasonal promotions<br>\n      <b>\u2022 Amazon Custom Integration<\/b>: Let buyers preview personalization live<br>\n      <b>\u2022 Prime-eligible listings<\/b>: Boost visibility via FBA<br>\n      <b>\u2022 No separate ad dashboard<\/b> for Handmade \u2013 uses core Amazon Ads\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"platform-box\">\n    <div class=\"platform-title\">\ud83c\udfaf Etsy Marketing &#038; Advertising<\/div>\n    <div class=\"category-list\">\n      <b>\u2022 Etsy Ads<\/b>: CPC ads that appear on search and category pages<br>\n      <b>\u2022 Offsite Ads<\/b>: Etsy advertises on Google, Facebook, and more<br>\n      <b>\u2022 15% ad fee<\/b> (or <b>12%<\/b> if sales exceed $10K) \u2013 <b>capped at $100\/order<\/b><br>\n      <b>\u2022 Opt-out available<\/b> for smaller sellers<br>\n      <b>\u2022 Social media integrations<\/b>: Share listings directly<br>\n      <b>\u2022 Email campaigns<\/b>: Reach customers with promotions and updates<br>\n      <b>\u2022 New 2025 tools<\/b>: Photo filters, listing quality tips, and faster dashboard\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"winner-box\">\n  <div class=\"winner-title\">\ud83c\udfc6 Winner: <b>Etsy<\/b><\/div>\n  <div class=\"winner-reason\">\n    <b>Etsy<\/b> provides more accessible, built-in marketing tools designed for small sellers.

New sellers must upload a government-issued ID and a selfie for verification. After that, you\u2019ll choose your shop name, list your first products, and set up your payment information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re in the U.S., Etsy uses Plaid to securely connect your bank account. You&#8217;ll also need to add a debit or credit card for paying seller fees. As of 2025, customers in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands must have a payment method on file when they sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the onboarding process, Etsy charges a <strong>one-time non-refundable shop setup fee<\/strong>, along with the standard <strong>$0.20 listing fee per product<\/strong>. Two-factor authentication is now required for all seller accounts, and once everything is completed, you can officially open your Etsy shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>Amazon Handmade<\/strong> requires a bit more upfront commitment. To apply, you must first create an Amazon Professional seller account, which costs <strong>$39.99 per month<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fee is charged right away\u2014but here\u2019s the benefit: if your Handmade application is approved, that monthly fee is waived indefinitely, saving you around <strong>$480 annually<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve registered, you\u2019ll go to the \u201cPrograms\u201d section and apply to Handmade by describing your craft, your process, and your product types. Amazon reviews every application individually, and approval can take several days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you&#8217;re approved, you\u2019ll be asked to classify your products using specific Handmade attributes like \u201chandcrafted\u201d or \u201cupcycled.\u201d You\u2019ll also need to either provide a <strong>UPC\/EAN<\/strong> for each listing or request a <strong>GTIN exemption<\/strong>, which is now required due to Amazon\u2019s updated listing policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Amazon will prompt you to create a <strong>Maker Profile<\/strong> where you introduce yourself and your process to buyers.

Once you have a Professional Seller account, <strong>apply for the Handmade category.<\/strong> Amazon will review your application to ensure your products meet their criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s see <strong>what&#8217;s next.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After approval, <strong>create a free shop on Amazon Handmade<\/strong>. Customize your storefront, shop policies, and return\/exchange policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to customize your storefront, from the menu go to <strong>Stores&gt; Manage Store<\/strong>. Hence, the customization starts once you start adding your brand information, like <strong>brand display name, and brand logo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/y--z0L6BxXuO1M14VvDkH1bVTsm6Ko6AGWWnvSHO6mwcishJjtVuT9xmfpOzJ16W1-cFJawdIAlOG3H8iequEKrI53XuxDEIE-c3ZgBanRj8Jpkacs6cZP2lWciX4N6X8aGZgB4s2HaWd5SE54zycu0\" alt=\"setup store on amazon \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you can <strong>create your storefront layout, add meta descriptions, define products display,<\/strong> <strong>add tiles, sections,<\/strong> etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/UKPlF8717oiZhBQ6OjUsU7rhBIY-XM-ERQAdsOuAZ7HNYuSMjnL0m6axzsmCrKsI3LZau1gJkoKBXUpwL9tAdpR_LSPKZd5J7hD_iAicaqEhNYP3IL5U68lfHnbd6j-GsvDoH8K0zz0UTn7tmCx9zoI\" alt=\"storefront customization\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you need to upload high-quality images and write detailed descriptions for your handmade products.

With payout schedules that can be set to <b>daily, weekly, or monthly<\/b> and transfers arriving in <b>3\u20135 business days<\/b>, Etsy gives sellers better cash flow control. <b>Amazon Handmade<\/b>, by contrast, applies a <b>7-day hold after delivery<\/b> and only pays out every <b>14 days<\/b>\u2014which can delay access to funds by <b>2\u20133 weeks<\/b> after each sale.

customers<\/em><\/strong> interested in everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> In case you choose <strong>Etsy, <\/strong>you will get a base of about <strong>35 million potential customers who are specifically interested in handmade goods<\/strong> and vintage items. Also, above $10K sales, Offsite Ads 15% is effectively a 15% fee on many orders (unless you opt out, but that\u2019s only once).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>Amazon <\/strong>doesn\u2019t need you to update the listing, while on <strong>Etsy<\/strong>, you have to update it after 4 months. However, their handmade listings compete with millions of Amazon products; good SEO and ads may be needed to be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it\u2019s time to have a look at the possibilities of Amazon Handmade vs Etsy shipping and fulfillment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Fulfillment_and_Dropshipping_Work_on_Amazon_Handmade_vs_Etsy\"><\/span>How Fulfillment and Dropshipping Work on Amazon Handmade vs Etsy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Etsy\"><\/span><strong>Etsy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Etsy requires that <strong>all orders be fulfilled by the seller<\/strong> or a disclosed <strong>production partner<\/strong>. The platform <strong>strictly prohibits traditional dropshipping<\/strong> and reselling of mass-produced goods. The only partial exception is for <strong>crafting supplies<\/strong>, but even those must focus on <strong>creative or handmade elements<\/strong>, not generic wholesale items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re selling gift baskets, for instance, Etsy expects that they\u2019re <strong>curated and assembled by you<\/strong>, not sourced as pre-made products. While <strong>print-on-demand<\/strong> is allowed, it must involve <strong>your own original designs<\/strong>, and you must clearly disclose any production partners used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Etsy offers tools like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shipping profiles<\/strong>, where you can set your own shipping rates and timelines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Discounted postage labels<\/strong> via Shop Manager.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manual handling of customer service and returns<\/strong> by the seller.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In essence, Etsy supports <strong>artisan-style production<\/strong>, not retail arbitrage or passive fulfillment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazon_Handmade\"><\/span><strong>Amazon Handmade<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon also <strong>does not allow classic dropshipping<\/strong>. You must either fulfill orders yourself or use <strong>Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)<\/strong> if eligible. With FBA, Amazon handles shipping, customer service, and returns \u2014 which can <strong>significantly boost trust and Prime-eligible visibility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike Etsy, Amazon Handmade allows you to benefit from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Built-in global fulfillment infrastructure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automatic inclusion in Prime shipping<\/strong> when using FBA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Streamlined customer service support<\/strong> managed by Amazon itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re listing customizable items, <strong>Amazon Custom<\/strong> (integrated into Handmade) allows personalized fulfillment, but <strong>you still need to manage inventory or send stock to FBA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_is_Better_for_Dropshipped_Handmade\"><\/span>Which is Better for Dropshipped Handmade?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your model truly relies on outsourcing production or drop-shipping <em>ready-made<\/em> goods, neither platform is a perfect fit \u2013 both require your creative input and authenticity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if by \u201cdropshipping\u201d you mean using a print-on-demand or production partner to create your original designs on demand, here\u2019s how they compare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-etsy\">Etsy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Etsy<\/strong> allows print-on-demand and partners, <strong>if<\/strong> it\u2019s based on your design. Many artists use POD for custom art (mugs, shirts). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You just have to clearly explain in listings that it\u2019s \u201ccustom-made\u201d and use your own design templates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sellers often mention \u201cmade when ordered with our partner factory.\u201d Etsy\u2019s advantage is its strong niche audience and easier store branding. But you <em>won\u2019t<\/em> succeed by simply reselling generic items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amazon-handmade\">Amazon Handmade<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Amazon Handmade<\/strong> also allows production partners under strict terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Amazon just released more tools for customized products (so if you do engraving or printing on demand, it\u2019s well-supported). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upside is access to big-market demand (e.g. personalized gifts searchers). The downside is that Amazon customers rarely search \u201chandmade,\u201d so SEO\/ads are crucial. And your margins must account for the 15% referral. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if your partner handles shipping, you still must ensure speed \u2013 Amazon doesn\u2019t forgive late shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n  .winner-box {\n    margin-top: 30px;\n    background: #ffeadb;\n    border-left: 8px solid #ff6f00;\n    padding: 20px;\n    border-radius: 10px;\n    font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;\n  }\n  .winner-title {\n    font-size: 20px;\n    font-weight: bold;\n    color: #d35400;\n  }\n  .winner-reason {\n    margin-top: 10px;\n    font-size: 16px;\n    color: #4e342e;\n    line-height: 1.6;\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"winner-box\">\n  <div class=\"winner-title\">\ud83c\udfc6 Winner: <b>Etsy<\/b> (for POD-style Dropshipping)<\/div>\n  <div class=\"winner-reason\">\n    If you&#8217;re a creator using <b>print-on-demand or production partners<\/b> to fulfill <b>your own custom designs<\/b>, <b>Etsy<\/b> offers a more fitting environment.

One six-figure seller shared they\u2019re shifting focus to Amazon Handmade after seeing a <strong>45% drop in Etsy sales<\/strong> year-over-year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"1276\" height=\"863\" src=\"https:\/\/prod-dropshipping-s3.s3.fr-par.scw.cloud\/2025\/05\/image-614-1a2360b6-5ee.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite Etsy\u2019s lower 6.5% fee, they found <strong>Amazon\u2019s 15% cut worthwhile<\/strong> because of its tools, analytics, and faster support.<em> \u201cAmazon may have started rough,<\/em>\u201d they wrote, \u201cbut Etsy still feels like it\u2019s run with crayons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others, however, highlight <strong>Amazon\u2019s return culture as a real headache<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em> \u201cCustomers are next-level entitled,\u201d <\/em>one seller vented. Etsy\u2019s customer base used to be more respectful, but now that Etsy is pushing ads, <strong>expectations are just as high<\/strong>\u2014and often just as unreasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One seller praised Etsy\u2019s creative freedom and branding potential but admitted that Etsy \u201c<strong>randomly pulls bestsellers from search<\/strong>\u201d and doesn\u2019t communicate changes well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others noted Etsy\u2019s listing fees and lack of reliable traffic compared to <strong>Amazon\u2019s massive reach and zero-listing-cost model<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img width=\"875\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/prod-dropshipping-s3.s3.fr-par.scw.cloud\/2025\/05\/image-615-dcd0e4b2-3b9.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, there\u2019s no perfect choice.
