Is it ok to post links to Etsy?

Post by TheIronBow »

Hello,

I have an Etsy page where I list items that I have for sell. So far, there are only two styles of paint racks that I have made on the store. I laser cut these racks from hardboard. I would like to link those listings on here on Bartertown, but I am not sure if having an Etsy page, and making these paint racks makes me a commercial vendor who needs to be an advertiser here in order to list these links. I am not in the paint rack making business by any means, but I don't know where the line between hobbyist and commercial business is as far as Bartertown is concerned.

Thanks for any information. I just don't want to start off on the wrong foot here.

:)

Hi and welcome to Bartertown.

While you are not a store owner, you still running a business the same way a painter on commission would do.
I would say that you cannot post links to Etsy directly before you talk to one of the admins ( MagicalMemories, Porkuslime, Lin, users written in Red)

Jul's got it right.
In essence, you're making them for the sole purpose of reselling them, so you'd have to be an advertiser.
