Selling to a different platform

[PaperFoldsInvites]

Good day! Would like to ask if I can open a shop to a different platform with my designs from etsy? Will I get banned from selling also into a different platform? Thank you!

@PaperFoldsInvites I sell on Etsy, eBay, and my own website.  There is no problem selling on multiple sites, in fact, I recommend it.

Many sellers sell their products on different platforms.

Etsy can't punish you for listing on different platforms. It's in your best interest to do so...

Most sellers would have their own websites and it does not cause any issues.

The problem arises when your items appear available from multiple different sellers. For example, the illustration in your safari birthday card would be used by others who purchase the clipart from the designer. When the AI searches those images, this same illustration will come up on multiple sites from different sellers and could cause yours to be flagged and removed.

I would like to list my Etsy items on Shopify. If it sells on Shopify and my Etsy and Shopify shops are integrated will the sale show up on Etsy? Does etsy allow a different platform for items listed on its site .Thanks

@BEADEDNECKLACESHOPPE  No it won't if you don't sell it on Etsy directly.
