Crafter Story is a home for real stories from real marketplace sellers.
Our goal is for every story published here to be submitted by the seller who lived it — someone selling on Etsy, eBay, Amazon, TikTok Shop, Facebook Marketplace, Poshmark, Depop, Shopify, or wherever else people are building shops today. We’re just getting started: right now you’ll find a handful of editorial starter guides here while we build up a library of real submitted stories. We don’t want to write those stories for sellers; we want to help them tell their own — which is exactly why we need yours.
We’re not affiliated with any of the marketplaces our contributors sell on. We’re just an outlet for the stories that don’t usually get told — the slow first year, the product that finally clicked, the mistake that taught a real lesson.
Have a Story?
If you sell on a marketplace and have a story worth telling, we’d love to read it. Visit our Submit Your Story page to get started.
