Overview

Company Historically Provides H1B Sponsorship

Etsy is an online marketplace that connects buyers with sellers of handmade, vintage, and unique goods. The platform allows individual artisans, crafters, and small business owners to list a variety of products, such as jewelry, clothing, home decor, and personalized gifts. Etsy operates by charging sellers transaction fees, listing fees, and offering optional advertising services to help promote their products. This model allows Etsy to earn revenue from each sale, as well as from additional services like promoted listings and shipping labels. Unlike traditional retail stores, Etsy focuses on providing a space for one-of-a-kind items, making it a go-to platform for consumers seeking unique products. The company's goal is to empower small businesses and artisans by providing them with the tools and resources needed to succeed in the online marketplace.
