Where to sell handmade
Most makers sell in more than one place. ByHand isn't a marketplace: it's a directory of shops where everything is handmade, and each listing sends shoppers to wherever you already sell. So the honest question isn't "this or that" but what each one is good for.
ByHand in short
- Free to list, and free to stay listed.
- No cut of your sales: shoppers buy on your own site or shop.
- A person looks through photos of your making before the shop goes up.
- Worldwide. Shoppers can browse makers by country.
