Hacked off with Etsy and the ill-advised and short-lived dreadful 75% reserve fiasco, we opened an account with Vinterior a few months ago.

The reason was never to entirely switch. Etsy is a brilliant selling platform. Vinterior tiny in comparison.

The beauty of Vinterior is the simplicity in starting. They simply move all your listings from Etsy into your own Vinterior shop. Truly, there is no work involved.

They take a higher commission, 20 %, but there are no listing fees. Essentially no work to set up and no hidden costs but a 20% cut to Vinterior.

Works out costing the same, but zero effort apart from when you are up and running sending the URL’s of new Etsy listings to them and delisting sold items from Etsy or Vinterior depending on which one you sold from.

Frankly it is a no brainer, I’d say anyone selling vintage are bonkers not using Vinterior.

It is what it is though.

For the first two months, June and July 2023 we took about 30% what we did on Etsy during that period. No, not as good as Etsy, but during tough times a welcome fresh revenue stream.

The downside. We have not sold anything for the first 18 days of August. It is fine the listings are free and look at it as cheap aggro free income stream.

Throughout we have been supported by a human being from Vinterior, a vast improvement from the zero proper support from Etsy.

But you wonder how you can go from a brilliant July to nothing in August?

Vinterior is relatively new, it is a growing site that has just received a huge funding boost to improve the at times clunky site. It is certainly one to get in with now.

Easy to use, a nice platform, you really should join it. But the sales are erratic!
