New EU packaging and EPR rules are causing a lot of confusion for Etsy sellers, especially businesses selling from the UK into Europe.

In this episode:

• What changed from August 2026
• What PPWR and EPR actually mean
• Why the rules may affect handmade sellers
• Why requirements aren't identical in every EU country
• What I'd check before switching off EU delivery

You don't need to become an EU packaging-law expert. You do need to know whether the rules apply to your business.

Should you use Etsy Ads as a new seller, or are you about to spend money before your listings are ready?

In this episode, we’ll look at when Etsy Ads can help, when they might waste your money, and what to check before turning them on.

You’ll learn:
What Etsy Ads can and cannot do
Why ads do not fix unclear listings
How to know if your listing is ready for more traffic
When to wait before using ads
What to check before spending money

Use ads as a tool, not a panic button.

RIGHT. I need to make more products, post more, change my listings and basically do ALL THE THINGS before Christmas...

ummmmmm, no 😂

From the 21st to the 24th of September, I’m running Listathon, my completely FREE four-day challenge for handmade business owners.

Getting Etsy views but no sales can feel wildly frustrating, especially when people are clearly clicking but nobody is buying.

In this episode, we’ll look at what Etsy views actually tell you, what they do not tell you, and what to check before changing your whole shop in a panic.

You’ll learn:
Why views do not automatically mean sales
What buyers may be hesitating over
Why more traffic is not always the answer
What to check first on a listing with views
How to spot the biggest buyer brake in your Etsy listing

Use your views as clues, not proof that everything is broken.
