list of alternatives for Etsy, ebay, and Amazon homemade:
This is a list I’ve been composing for months with a lot of help from that poll I made a few weeks ago as well. (Thank you to everyone who lent me their insights and advice.) May be unneeded to say, but these are also alternatives to Etsy as well. Most if not all of these alternatives have a free subscription with limited item uploads and a cheap paid one (at the time. )

store envy: ( https://www.storenvy.com/open-new-store )
they have free section that lets you list 20 items for free. They also have a subscription that costs 5 bucks called the “artist plan.” Which I find funny because it’s the cheapest one and there is a stereotype of artists being broke…it’s not untrue for many but still. It’s promising , and it lets you sell handmade works. Will look into more. (Addendum June 29, 2026. Shipping.: Tested it out further, it lets you list your own shipping costs groups. Which , admittedly, I find confusing. I’m used to eBay’s system which simply lets you pick what tripping label you want and gives you the approximate price. You don’t have to manually put the shipping in and how they handle international is even easier. )
GoImagine:( https://goimagine.com/membership )an Etsy alternative. Lets you list 12 items for free on its free plan. Its thrive plan costs 5 bucks and lets you list 600 items. And this site is really hand made item oriented. Promising.
Vinted: (https://www.vinted.com/) is prettypromising. Offers shipping labels and processing, allows sales of homemade clothes though is generally geared towards clothes in general rather than general handmade works but uts open. Reminds me if ebay .No fees apparently, and has a "bump" system. More indi here: https://www.vinted.com/help/26-selling-basics?access_channel=hc_topics
Artisan coop: (https://artisans.coop/) curently in beta2 but accepting applications for a store and is functional from what I’ve seen. (They intend to open to non members later this year from what I’ve read, at this time June 14th , 2026.) No losting fees and handmade only. You have to apply to be a member, and the have a homemade police (works for me as I make my own crochet items but for others this could be different.) They claim no listing fees, no shop opening fees, no dues , one charge on sales commission but no shipping. Commission varies by membership though.
Marmalade: (https://marmaladehandmade.com/apply: oh, here is Marmalade. They have a strong no ai stance as well as no drop shipping. they encourage the sale of physical handmade goods. Hear is their info and application process. Sadly , they are a catalog rather than a store front: you link your shop on their site and design the look. They state in their “how it works” section that “Add listings that link directly to your shop (ex: Etsy or Shopify site) - no fees, no commissions. We're here to make it easier for people to discover and support real artists.”. No charges is pretty nice though. I could use them with my existing eBay.
Mayhem: ( https://mayhem.my) this one is notable on that it prohibits the use of ai in products both in listings and in Images. (A plus, I hate Gen ai and false advertising.. .and all gen ai is false advertising.) They allow for digital and physical handmade products both with tracking and without .(from what I’ve seen.)It’s super green in aesthetic. I see no foreseeable listing limits. Mayhem claims that numerous payment methods can be used and that the only one with a transaction fee is the 3 % one on credit cards. They don’t take a cut of sales but they do have a monthly fee between $5 and $10.(SUBSCRIPTIONS , my third trigger! They also require a selfie id for adult content sales , they will not be getting my id. My money account should be proof enough. If you ever see smut from me, I probably would use itch.io or just mail it to ya like in ye identity times.) More info in their features: https://mayhem.my/features
Mercari:( https://www.mercari.com/us/how-to-sell/ ) They let you list 12 items for free. But I didn’t see anywhere that they charge or any plans for listing more. they have hand made crafts and crochet sections . Acts similarly to eBay rather than an Etsy alternative so , true to title.
ecrater: (https://www.ecrater.com ) : “open your 100% free online store” is their claim on the first page. Looking through it gives it an eBay or mercari feel. Allows for eBay imports and tshipment tracking. Seems to encourage handmade and second hand sales. Here’s more info about their features; https://www.ecrater.com/features.php

those I know exist but will not consider.
rubylane: (https://www.rubylane.com/) they charge $45 a month to have a store front. It defiantly feels professional, in its vetting Rockies. And you have to have had a preexisting shop or site to apply. It’s the have money to make money bs again.
Createjoy : ( https://sell.cratejoy.com ) $24 dollar subscription to have store front. It’s also for craft boxes. If you make craft boxes and dint mind the subscription, this is for you. I don’t do subscriptions nor make craft boxes so it’s a no.
Indiecart :( https://indiecart.com/sell.php ): subscription based storefront with no free option or limit. However , they say “user-friendly, customizable, reasonably priced selling venue out there. And at $7.50/month with no listing or final value fees” on their application so it’s something for others to consider. I avoid subscriptions at the best of times but I like the fact that I can customize my front to some degree.
Bonanza: (https://www.bonanza.com ) You can make your own webstore on the site or you can import you Etsy, eBay, and Amazon store into their storefront. Only sells in US due to some tax thing they claim. I could not find any other information if they run a subscription based storefront or if they charge for how many items you list so it’s difficult to say. (Everytime I tried to look for more info on the site, it would just ask me to make a subscription, I don’t trust it.) Because of that , I will list this as fairly low. I prefer upfront costss.(addendum for bonanza. I found this on their t.o.s. “New sellers who activate a booth on Bonanza will be charged a non-refundable $14.99 account set-up fee” .
