online selling sitesUpdated for 2024. Need a comprehensive list of online selling sites and marketplaces where you can sell your handmade, print on demand or vintage products? Luckily for you, you have so many options to choose from, and you don’t have to choose just one!

In fact, the best strategy for any e-commerce business is to try and sell on as many online sales sites as possible, to really widen your reach as well as not be too dependent on one customer source. You just never know when the market will change or a company will get bought, so don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.

Below are 90+ online selling sites and marketplaces where you can sell your products and services. Some are niche-specific, some are country-specific, but many are for international sales of any type of handmade product.

Online Transaction Sites

The sites below  are more of transaction platforms that handle payment processing for you for digital products, but will not really bring you any customers as they do not have much of a main marketplace for customers to enter in from. You typically use these types of sites to accept payment on your website, blog or even your social media pages.

UK Only Sites

The UK has a really large handmade community, so there are several marketplaces that have been set up exclusively for UK sellers:

E-Commerce Platforms for Selling Onlineonline marketplaces

If you want total independence online, then you can set up your own e-commerce store using any of these platforms below. The downside is that you do not get the marketing benefits of being on a large marketplace that will drive customers to you. You pretty much will have to do all the marketing yourself.

Print on Demand Selling Sites

If you don’t want to make huge profit, just some extra money, then you can sell your graphic designs to a print on demand site that also has a marketplace. Not a ton of work involved on your part, just upload your designs and they do the rest. You do have to sell a lot of volume for it to be really worthwhile.

Wholesale Sites

If you are selling handmade products and you would really just rather sell them through wholesale, these sites will help you:

Costs of Selling Online

Again, all of the above are online selling sites that will take a cut of your sales as that is how they make their money. Most sites are very affordable, such as Etsy at just 5% commission, whereas others will take up to 50% of the sale as a commission (basically wholesale pricing), as well as a monthly fee, making them a much more costly option.

The e-commerce options such as Shopify Wix, SquareSpace, IndieMade and Big Commerce are platforms, not marketplaces, therefore they have monthly fees in addition to taking a cut of your sales.

Auction sites like eBay are for selling both. new and used items, and sites like One Kings Lane are really flash sales sites, and sites like these have struggled in the past (remember Fab?). Hopefully there is a selling site here that suits your particular interests and needs.
