Welcome to Craft For Sale
Hello! I'm Daniel Miara, and I've been a web developer for over 20 years. Recently, I've embarked on a new venture to create something special: Craft For Sale. You can easily find my positive reviews online, and I'm excited to introduce you to this new platform, built from the ground up over the past 1.5 years. My goal is to make Craft For Sale the best marketplace for you and your customers.
My wife, Magda, and I will manage this platform as a team, and we are dedicated to supporting local and national craft communities. Our mission is to build something unique and beneficial for all.
About Craft For Sale
Craft For Sale was created from scratch, and we continue to adapt and improve based on user feedback and technical requirements. All your suggestions are considered, and we aim to integrate the most valuable features into the marketplace to help you sell and grow your community.
As the creators and managers of this platform, we have the flexibility to implement changes quickly without needing third-party approval. This allows us to be responsive and innovative.
Why Choose a Subscription Model?
Instead of taking a percentage of your sales, we have opted for a subscription model. This approach helps cover server costs and allows us to promote our community on various social media platforms. We aim to keep subscription fees affordable, but please understand that we are just starting this journey. Your support will help us grow this exciting new startup.
Is Craft For Sale Safe?
Yes, Craft For Sale is committed to maintaining a safe platform. However, please note that transactions occur directly between the seller and the customer. Each seller sets their own terms and conditions, which must be accepted by the customer during checkout.
Multi-language Support
Although Craft For Sale is dedicated to the UK market, we support multiple languages within the platform. All craft descriptions and terms must be in English, but you can change the interface language. Currently, we offer English and Polish, and we're open to adding more languages based on demand. This functionality aims to support those who may not be fluent in English.
Benefits for Premium Sellers
We offer additional perks for premium sellers, including enhanced promotion on social media, both in static and video formats. Premium sellers will have a dedicated page without other crafts being displayed and will be featured throughout the marketplace in various ways. We appreciate your support and ask for your patience as we continue to develop these features.
Who Can Sell on Craft For Sale?
Anyone with a valid bank account can sell on our platform. To verify your identity, you will need to send a small amount from your bank account to connect it with your profile. Please remember, if your income exceeds £1,000, you must register with HMRC. We reserve the right to approve all sellers to ensure the safety of our community.
Selling Adult Crafts
CraftForSale allows the sale of adult crafts (18+) as long as they are appropriately marked by the seller. Customers must confirm their age during registration to view adult products. Sellers who violate these rules will be removed immediately to maintain a safe environment.
