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.

Opened your Etsy shop and still waiting for that first order?

In this episode, you'll learn:
Why there is no normal number of days to get your first Etsy sale
Why comparing your shop with other new sellers can be misleading
What to look at instead of just counting days
How to tell whether enough buyers have actually seen your products
What to do while you're waiting for your first order

Your first sale isn't on a timer. Get useful evidence before you start changing everything.

If you’re heading towards Q4 thinking:

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.

We’re going to look at which products actually deserve your attention, how to create listings that do their job, how to get more from what’s already working, AND how to build a simple marketing plan to get more people seeing your stuff.

Basically...

less random tweaking.

Less guessing.

More knowing what you should actually focus on.

And if Listathon has already started by the time you’re hearing this, you can still jump in and catch up on the replays.
