A UK Alternative To Etsy in 2024
Published on November 30th, 2023|Last updated on May 21st, 2024
Etsy has been a go-to for crafters and designers, but as the leading marketplace, it’s shifted towards mass-produced items, losing its community charm along the way. That’s where Crafter’s Market UK enters, a vibrant UK alternative to Etsy 👋.
Something’s been missing, right? That community vibe, that local touch—akin to what made Etsy special initially. We’ve stepped in to revive that spirit.
What sets Crafter’s Market apart in 2024?
- No upfront costs: Set up completely for free and only pay commission if you sell an item.
- People Over Profit: We’re a small team that values craftsmanship, not shareholder returns.

Why Crafter’s Market UK in 2024?
Crafted by crafters, CMUK isn’t just another marketplace. We’ve felt the same hurdles and frustrations as you, which led us to build something exceptional.
Transparent pricing
We invite crafters to try out our platform completely free. No set up cost, no ongoing fee and no obligation to upgrade to the paid subscription. You just pay 5% + transaction fee when you sell an item.
Our running costs and primarily covered by plus subscriptions and advert credit revenue.
A risk free opportunity
We strongly believe that the platform in which they choose to sell on should not be a major contributor to the ever growing list of expenses. It’s for this reason we will always try to remain one of the most competitively priced sites around. Always allowing for a risk free opportunity, and never hiding any costs.
Crafters should be able to advertise their products without having to risk precious funds upfront – keeping us motivated at advertising your products too.
Made for you
What good is a marketplace that’s been designed and is ran completely detached from its audience? Crafter’s Market actively discusses improvements with vendors and customers on how to improve the platform for all.
