Questions about Etsy shop management
What does an Etsy shop manager do?
An Etsy shop manager looks after the day-to-day running of a shop: research, listings, SEO, orders and buyer messages. We work inside your shop on the tasks we agree with you first.
What is an Etsy virtual assistant?
An Etsy virtual assistant takes on repeat shop tasks, often by the hour, such as creating listings, updating tags, processing orders and replying to messages.
How much does Etsy shop management cost?
It depends on the tasks, the hours and the number of listings, so we do not publish fixed packages. After a free audit we send a quote that shows our fee separately from Etsy fees. You can read how it works on our pricing page.
Can you help me open an Etsy shop?
Yes. We guide you through opening the shop in your own name, setting policies, shipping and payments, and preparing the first listings. Etsy decides whether an account is approved.
Does Etsy allow drop shipping or reselling?
Etsy prohibits drop shipping, with one exception for craft and party supplies. Reselling items you did not make or design is also prohibited, except for craft and party supplies, vintage items over 20 years old that you hand-pick, and gift baskets you put together yourself. Production partners are allowed for your own designs or buyer customisations. Source: Etsy's help article, checked 11 November 2026.
Can you help with Etsy SEO and keyword research?
Yes. We research the terms buyers use, then write titles, tags and descriptions for each listing. SEO helps listings get found, but it cannot guarantee sales or rankings.
Can you manage Etsy alongside my other marketplaces?
Yes. We also work on eBay, Amazon and TikTok Shop, so research, listings and reporting can be run together.
Who does the work, and which countries do you support?
Work is led by Muhammad Arsal Qureshi with the MAQ Digital Media team behind him, for sellers in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. You can read more on his profile page.
