I've seen some items from aliexpress selling on etsy successfully,
How is it possible?
What are the main rules to follow to avoid from bans and reports?
 
I don't know, but it must be working. Recently I saw a guy paying 200$ on Upwork for a way to disable Google from indexing his dropshipping store images. When I contacted him - turns out he's using Etsy :D And I was hoping for a nice and easy profit for setting up Yoast and robots :D

It's working. I have found many aliexpress items selling at etsy. What are the secrets?
 
Same rules apply for any other marketplace. Don't get flagged and don't get a lot of complainers.

But Etsy is for handmade items, and if we place aliexpress items on it and the buyers find out we'll get flags. Though there're some tricks some sellers use to avoid restrictions and bans.
 
or is there any place where i can get handmade items that aren't placed on etsy?

Maybe reshipping? Ship to your address repack and then send on. Obviously original pictures etc etc

If you're serious I know a few of the people who carve the wooden tat for tourists in Cambodia and sell it wholesale to the guys in Russian market I'm sure if you asked nicely they could carve you anything, all though shipping from Cambodia is both unreliable and expensive as hell.
 
working only small time, before you collect so many negative feedback :D
 
This is churn and burn method, once you are reported you shop is done.
maybe if you purchase to your place and reship it, but it will take a long time.

Yes, it will take a long time.
 
If the package is coming from China, etsy customers will right away think it's not handmade and was dropshipped. At least I would :)
 
It can be done for the short term but eventually your etsy account will be closed.
 
I dropship on etsy no problems, but my customer service response rates are within 24 hours, and refunds are less than 5%

Well it is supposed to be for handmade items, but Etsy isn't exactly strict with that because there are a lot of items and sellers that clearly are not making items by hand.

For example a phone case. Nobody is making iphone phone cases by hand. That is just ridiculous. There's also a ton of face mask sales which clearly are just coming from purchased stock. Personally, I wouldn't list anything on there unless you have it in stock or can deliver it in a normal time frame.

I have access to cheap original handmade products from Morocco, which from what I saw sell well on etsy, drop me a PM so that send you the products catalogue if you wish.
