Looking to buy an Etsy shop that sells picture frames that is based in the USA. Contact me via text at 212-570-5710 or message here, please.

Thank you
 
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you can't buy an Etsy shop. Each Etsy shop is directly tied to the owner's name, tax ID, store name and bank account. If you try to change these, Etsy will shut you down. You can't even buy the store name. It can't be transferred either. You can buy the assets of an Etsy store but you will need to open a new store, with a new name to sell on Etsy and relist everything. Nothing from the old store will transfer, including reviews and the store name. I have heard of some folk selling/trying to sell a store but as soon as you change the ownership stuff on Etsy, they will probably terminate the store.

That's terrible news. Thanks Larry.

In light of this news, I am amending my original post to state that I am open to buying the assets like images, listings, keywords and selling history.
 
Like Larry said, you really do need to start fresh
We had two stores thinking it was a better choice, then wanted to merge them. It was impossible and all reviews, history and listings were locked
PM me if you want more info on starting fresh; it's time-consuming but not difficult

Thanks Bob. I am trying to buy assets, images and descriptions and soon, so I don't have to spend the time. Time is money as you know.
 
Cut/paste, my friend, cut/paste
etsy has a COPY function that speeds up adding to your own listings :)
I just don't think what you are seeking is available
