Everything you need to write about CraftersMarket — the independent marketplace built for CNC, woodworking, and laser-cut makers leaving Etsy behind.
"I built this because makers shouldn't have to choose between $1,250 a year in Etsy fees and not selling online at all."
By the numbers.
Three ways to tell it.
A new marketplace that pays makers more
Etsy's fee creep — now 6.5% commission + listing/renewal/ad fees stacking to ~12.5% effective rate — pushed an entire generation of small makers to look for alternatives. CraftersMarket charges 3% as a Founder, no subscription, no listing fees.
Built by a maker, for makers
Veteran-owned. No VC money. The product is curated for CNC, woodworking, and laser-cut categories — not a horizontal e-commerce platform that tolerates handmade.
Limited to 100 lifetime Founders
The platform is recruiting exactly 100 inaugural Founders who lock in lifetime rates. After #100, the offer closes forever. Real scarcity, real lifetime locked-in pricing.
