Mission & Goals
Our mission is to keep Commerce Human. Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods. It’s home to a universe of special, extraordinary items, from unique handcrafted pieces to vintage treasures. In a time of increasing automation, it’s our mission to keep human connection at the heart of commerce. That’s why we built a place where creativity lives and thrives because it’s powered by people. We help our community of sellers turn their ideas into successful businesses. Our platform connects them with millions of buyers looking for an alternative — something special with a human touch, for those moments in life that deserve imagination.

Communication Activities
Etsy continues to engage with EU institutional stakeholders through direct meetings, exchanges via relevant trade associations, policy discussions, and written contributions related to VAT and customs, ESG, platform regulation, consumer protection, and payments regulation. These activities aimed to highlight the specific needs of Etsy’s seller community, which largely consists of microbusinesses and sole entrepreneurs, often operating from their own homes, and to advocate for proportionate and workable regulatory approaches that support small creative businesses’ participation in the EU single market.
