Applying for EW , ok to keep retail items too?

[akaisilks]

Aloha all ,
I'll be submitting an applaction to EW for wholesale on certain items . I've dyed the large veils for dancers for 17 years , but I'd like to keep the veils listed in the store for now ( wholesale on veils was mostly discontinued ) .

I'd want to offer wholesale on the accessory silk scarves and fill every boutique near an ocean resort . I'm collecting initial photos of the scarves to create a line sheet .

Can we as artists request for a buyer who can move the goods and handle volume / profit ?

Are buyers part of this EW forum too ?

Hi Jesennia- The Etsy Wholesale platform is similar to the retail side of Etsy, in that the wholesale buyers initiate an order/conversation with the seller. Sellers are not able to search EW for buyers. But, you can get in touch with buyers that you find outside of EW that meet the criteria you are looking for, and send them a guest pass to your linesheet.

I was just accepted for EW. But now I need to try to figure things out. I'm not sure about things yet as I find it confusing. (it doesn't take much).
