    I am not quite sure whether this concerns enough people … but I still have a really small business with an online store primarily based in Germany where I live.

    I am planning to open an etsy store later this year. What really freaks me out and what I have not found too much information about so far is te legal bit. Like what information has to be on your site/ etsy store … do you have to give your whole address? What kind of return policy do you have to have? Those kinds of things. There are really strict rules about that here in Germany and if you do not take them into account and follow them you might have to pay a fine (which can be quite high).
    Are there such regulations for etsy – selling world wide? I would really love to get some information about that!
    But not sure how many other people would find that helpful ….

    Am really looking forward to this guide!
    Love

    My shop falls under the “paper goods” category on Etsy. I’d love to hear from others what type of printers they would recommend and types of paper (heavy weight, cardstock, stickers,…) and where to get them (preferably in Europe, maybe even Belgium – surely I can’t be the only Belgian seller in the OMHG community? 🙂
    Also, I’d love to learn more about European suppliers for packaging items.
    Look forward to seeing your guide in April!
