E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

Etsy isn't supported in my country. Is it possible to sell on etsy by creating a US LLC and then signing up for etsy through that LLC?
Pls let me know if this is possible, and also, is there anything else I need?

How can I learn it?

Re: E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

Too big of a headache. Just create any european based account and you will eventually make it.

Re: E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

read around the forum - try and experiment, etc. - or go the european route that Duab suggested

Re: E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

OP wants US though

European in the sense creating a LLC in any European country?

I will be accessing the account from outside the UK will that be a problem and will etsy close my account because of that?

Re: E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

So if you're making a UK account, you'll need a UK IP to access the account.
And I suggest you get the IP first before even making the account.

try ipburger

Will it be okay even if I am a non UK resident ?

Re: E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

will you be able to get business registered?

Re: E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

Yes, Previously I had a UK LLC and was selling on eBay but eBay shut my account so I had to close my LLC I wasn't aware about et5y that time. Currently I don't want to go through that whole process of registering for LLC and later find out et5y doesn't allow non UK resident to sign up as UK seller

Re: E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

Is there a solution for a bank account, other than using WISE?

Re: E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

have you explored payoneer

Re: E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

They do require you to verify your identity even if you add your company's details. And you do need to submit an id document of an Etsy approved country. Although I've heard some stories of people submitting id of a non-approved country and still getting away with it.

Have you heard of Estonian e-residency? For 120 euros, the estonian government will send you an e-resident card which can be submitted to Etsy I believe.

Re: E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

Many many solutions but it really does depend on your location and which countries Etsy your trying to use

Re: E$sy isn't supported in my country
 

Thank you
Can you please let me know where I can find this etsy approved countries.

Thank you for this e-residency tip I will look into this.

For sellers in India
Sellers in India can use India Payments (powered by our third party payments partner) to offer UPI & Net Banking as payment methods to India buyers and PayPal to buyers outside of India. Learn how to enroll.

Etsy will send EUR to your bank account on file. Your bank may charge foreign exchange fees to deposit these funds to your account.

When you sign up for Etsy Payments, you will accept PayPal through Etsy Payments and will not receive funds to your own PayPal account. Learn more.

As PayPal does not operate in Türkiye, PayPal is not available to Etsy Payments sellers located in Türkiye. This means that sellers located in Türkiye cannot accept PayPal in their shops. If you offer PayPal in your shop, PayPal will be removed from your Etsy account after you sign up for Etsy Payments.

For sellers located in Israel

PayPal is not available to Etsy sellers located in Israel and enrolled in Etsy Payments.
