Yes, Etsy is available in Türkiye: people there can shop on Etsy, and they can open a shop and sell to buyers around the world. Türkiye is on Etsy's list of countries eligible for Etsy Payments, so a Türkiye-based seller's earnings go from Etsy straight to a bank account in Türkiye.
This guide is for people in Türkiye who are weighing up Etsy, as buyers or as future sellers, and for anyone curious how selling from Türkiye compares with selling from the US. Etsy has no Turkish-language site, so the rules that matter are spread across English help pages. We collected them in one place: buying, opening a shop, how payouts reach a Turkish bank, and the practical differences from a US-based seller.
Can you buy on Etsy from Türkiye?
Yes. All you need is an Etsy account, and it is the same account you would later use to open a shop. Whether you can order a particular item depends on the shop rather than on Etsy: each seller decides which countries their shipping profiles cover. If the listing shows a delivery option to Türkiye, you can order it.
Two things are good to know up front. The site will not appear in Turkish, because Turkish is not one of Etsy's site languages. And an order shipped from abroad can bring customs charges at your end, so check Türkiye's customs rules or ask a qualified professional before a large order.
Can you sell on Etsy from Türkiye?
Yes, and Etsy Payments is the reason. Etsy says that where Etsy Payments is not available, new shops generally cannot open. Türkiye is eligible, so the standard setup applies. Etsy's guide to opening a shop walks through these steps:
Choose a shop language you are comfortable using with buyers. You cannot change it later on your own.
Pick a shop name of 4 to 20 characters, with no spaces or special characters.
Add your first listing, because Etsy requires one before the shop can open.
Connect the bank account you want to be paid into.
Verify your identity with a photo of your government ID and a clear selfie. The ID must not be expired and must match the name on the bank account.
Add a card for Etsy bills and pay the one-time, non-refundable shop set-up fee. Etsy says the cost varies by location.
Turn on two-factor authentication, which Etsy requires.
Our step-by-step guide to opening an Etsy shop from Türkiye goes through each screen in detail.
How payouts reach a Turkish bank
No matter how a buyer pays, the funds go to your Etsy Payment account, and Etsy deposits from there into your bank account. Türkiye is not on Etsy's list of countries that use a Payoneer account with Etsy Payments, so a seller in Türkiye connects a bank account directly.
Etsy's deposit schedule page sets out how it works:
You can choose daily, weekly, biweekly or monthly deposits. New sellers start on weekly deposits, every Monday.
For a Turkish lira bank account, the daily deposit minimum is TRY 600.00.
A standard bank transfer may take 1 to 5 business days to appear in your account.
Etsy charges a deposit fee of 42.00 TRY when a deposit is above the 50.00 TRY deposit minimum but below the 600.00 TRY fee threshold.
Currency is the other cost to plan for. Etsy charges a 2.5% currency conversion fee when you list in a currency other than the one your payment bank account uses. Our guide to Etsy fees and currency conversion for sellers in Türkiye works through an example, and getting paid on Etsy from Türkiye covers the deposit settings step by step.
What is different from a seller in the US
Etsy's fee table lists the same two core fees for every seller: a $0.20 listing fee and a transaction fee of 6.5% of the order total. The differences sit in payment processing, a location-based fee, PayPal, deposits and shipping. The figures below come from Etsy's payment processing fee table, its regulatory operating fee page, its deposit schedule page and its search visibility page.
| Topic | Seller based in the US | Seller based in Türkiye |
|---|---|---|
| Listing and transaction fees | $0.20 per listing, 6.5% of the order | The same: $0.20 and 6.5% |
| Payment processing fee | 3% + 0.25 USD | 6.5% + 14 TRY |
| Regulatory operating fee | Not on Etsy's list of countries | 1.67% |
| Daily deposit minimum | USD 25.00 on a US dollar account | TRY 600.00 on a Turkish lira account |
| Shipping to US buyers | A domestic shipment | An international shipment, with duties and import fees to account for |
| Shipping price and US search | US listings with domestic shipping under $6 are prioritized | Etsy describes this rule for US listings |
| Etsy site and Help Center language | English available | No Turkish edition, so you work in English |
Three rows deserve a sentence each. PayPal is out: Etsy states that sellers located in Türkiye cannot accept PayPal in their shops, because PayPal does not operate in Türkiye. Duties now matter: in its June 2026 update, Etsy said that from July 9 sellers outside the US must account for all of their costs on US orders, including duties and import fees, and that orders shipped without duties prepaid no longer qualify for Etsy Purchase Protection. And prices can be regional: sellers outside the US can set different prices for domestic orders, US orders and all other countries.
Depending on your business status and location, Etsy may also collect VAT on seller fees, and Türkiye is on the list of countries whose sellers get downloadable VAT invoices for those fees. For anything tax-related, check Etsy's help pages or a qualified accountant. For the practical side of parcels, see our basics of shipping from Türkiye to US buyers.
Running your shop in English
Because the site and the Help Center are in English, you will most likely set up and run the shop in English too. The shop language is the decision to think through: Etsy says you won't be able to change it later, and Etsy Support only switches an open shop's default language after you have translated your shop information and every listing into the new one. If US buyers are your main market, English is the practical choice.
You can still add other languages later. Etsy lets sellers translate titles, descriptions, tags and shop texts into the languages they add in Shop Manager. Listing in one language first and translating later keeps the work manageable.
Learning the workflow in Turkish with Alomations
Alomations is an Etsy print-on-demand workbench whose product and support come in English and Turkish. Its Classroom holds free video tutorials in both languages, one tutorial per lesson, open on every plan including Free, and a guided tour leads to them from any page of the app. You can learn the listing, template and order screens in Turkish while the shop itself runs in English.
When you are ready to list, Alomations connects to your shop through the official Etsy API (it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Etsy) and turns a design into a finished Etsy listing. The features page shows the rest of the toolkit.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Turkish version of Etsy?
No. The languages Etsy offers its full site in do not include Turkish, and its Help Center has no Turkish edition either. Buyers and sellers in Türkiye use one of the available languages, such as English.
Can a seller in Türkiye accept PayPal?
No. Etsy says PayPal is not available to Etsy Payments sellers located in Türkiye, because PayPal does not operate there. Whatever method a buyer uses, the money reaches your Etsy Payment account.
How long do Etsy earnings take to reach a Turkish bank?
It depends on your deposit schedule (daily, weekly, biweekly or monthly) and on the bank transfer, which Etsy says may take 1 to 5 business days. New sellers start on weekly deposits every Monday.
Can a shop based in Türkiye sell to US buyers?
Yes. Plan for international delivery times and, on US orders, account for duties and import fees, since Etsy no longer covers US orders shipped without duties prepaid under Etsy Purchase Protection.
