There are a couple of options. I dont recommend the wordpress solutions. I think only the big ecommerce solutions like i think xcart and oscommerce via a plugin. These are serious solutions with actual developer support. Anything else is a cheap knock off that wont work well. It is not an easy thing to build properly.
I am a newbie here. Just found this post while browsing Etsy clone on Google. I followed all the links mentioned above but didn't find them satisfactory. Do any one have any idea suggestion???? also, I found http://theninehertz.com/clone-websites/etsy-clone-marketplace-script on Google while browsing "etsy clone open source". I know Google give us best results but I am also aware of SEO guys who just keep on building links to rank their website. So please suggest me an Etsy clone and also let me know about Nine Hertz Etsy Clone which I liked after going through the demo and description.
I really like Etsy! but now I'm more into the Vinted thing, I think it is an amazing app for swaping, selling and buying! you can check it out: http://www.vinted.com/
I am about to do this for someone with WPMU and Marketpress. Fairly trivial to deal with actually. Nigel
I've personally found that when trying to use clones, or sometimes even nulled scripts/themes/plugins, that there will generally be errors. Many a time, I've found that scripts are protected from illegal sharing, and will generally corrupt/develop errors when these security measures are removed. Long term, for a good project, I'd prefer to hire a freelancer to code the script. This way nothing is illegal, and whilst it's a larger upfront cost, if your plan goes smooth you should see the money! I wouldn't dream of paying anything near $450 for a cloned script, especially without a demo prior to purchasing.
I agree with you ADSD, but hiring a freelancer to build a script from the scratch will be too expensive. The best combo is to purchase a legal script and have a freelancer on your shoulder, to optimize it for your exact needs.
I've never had to hire a freelancer for such a job, and so am unaware of pricing but yes; I can imagine it to be expensive. The upside however, is that it's bespoke and exactly how you want it I guess. That is a good suggestion however. Purchasing a script and then maybe having it customised by a freelancer will surely subsidise the cost.
I have purchased this script from CloneForest. Please do not buy this script. I have paid for v1 and v2 both. First i bough v1 then i told them about all the bug. They will not help you. Also they have major licensing issue. It will get screw up if their licensing server go down your website will go down. There is no instant help available. I have spend more then $1,000 with this company for both script and customization. Do your homework before you buy. Ask them for successfully running their script.
I would suggest you to go with Apptha's Buy Sell Script which is a clone of etsy, there is numerous benefits from this script. As it holds nearly 10 addons at no cost and the store could be stored in amazon cloud, so that technically the cloud space makes loading time reduced and adding more value to the store. Creating a store is very easy with this buy sell software that make over a perfect ecommerce shop for your business.

etsyclone is SCAM - They don’t refund - They ask you after purchase to send ID or Passport to start your script installation - The script is full of Bugs - They promise to fix the bugs but every day the same, they don’t fix anything - Their website expire in 2016 when legit companies they have it for many years - They called me from hidden number and after they send email that they were trying to get in touch with me - They have various emails , , possible and others - -The script also has missing things like missing states and cities so to ask you after $439 to import these for you - If you write etsyclone reviews in google search box you will find many complaints for this site - They don’t give you cpanel, they give other kind of panel where you can not edit,delete,rename,chmod your files - They threat me that they will bring me to the court when I said them that I will post bad reviews if I will not be refunded. AWAY from these people, they don't care to do the job after purchase. I suggest you to copy paste the above to other social networks and forums so everybody to know the truth. If you write in google search box "etsyclone reviews" you will find many complaints for this company. I was also cuctomer of these people and i have never seen worst service. They don't give cpanel details! so you can not manage your files like edit,delete,rename, upload other files,chmod so i asked them to delete a logo file and what they answered me? That the script will collapse. You understand what is happening with these people. Many things are missing like states and cities and after they need extra money $349 to import these for you. They use various emails and the worst thier site expires in 2016. If they will not renew then buy -buy your site. I suspend that they don't use registration key and they just stole the code because at the refund policy they believe that if you will download your files then finished, you can use your files. If they really have registration key then they can cancel your site at any time so why they afraid if you download the files then finished? These company called me from hidden number (nobody who is legit will do this) and after they send me email that they couldn't come ion touch with me. I had bad experience with them and i went to the bank to claim my money because were unwilling to fix anything.
This person is scammer trying to get his money back and keep the software. He is treating us all the time complain that our cloud servers do not have cPanel. He even did not tell us what were the bugs. Anyway this person is not so well with his nerves and do not have even primitive level of knowlage in working with software. We suggest him several times to work with us but without success. Keep away from this guy. The truth is that we have fully working demo as evidence check out http://getsy.info What do you have as evidence... Our domain will expire in one year - ok good but this is not a crime or bug, or that we do not offer cPanel - this is not a crime too? Or only words that our software is full of bugs but you are unable to show me even one? Even if we have bugs, show me a software without bugs... The difference is that we are taking care of all bugs and regularly releasing a new version. The proof of this words you can find here: https://etsyclone.com/getsy-changelog
I am scammer, you make me laugh. How i can get your software if you have registration key? I think you work very amateur there at this company. hotscripts saw my complain and they delete you from the same day! Please check google search box "etsyclone reviews" to see how many complaints you will find for this company , just to see who is saying lies!
I must assure you that i bought many times scripts and i have good knowledge how to install even alone a script. Below i am posting in short my bad experience with this company: - They don’t refund - They ask you after purchase to send ID or Passport to start your script installation - The script is full of Bugs - They promise to fix the bugs but every day the same, they don’t fix anything - Their website expire in 2016 when legit companies they have it for many years - They called me from hidden number and after they send email that they were trying to get in touch with me - They have various emails , , possible and others - -The script also has missing things like missing states and cities so to ask you after $439 to import these for you - If you write etsyclone reviews in google search box you will find many complaints for this site - They don’t give you cpanel, they give other kind of panel where you can not edit,delete,rename,chmod your files - They threat me that they will bring me to the court when I said them that I will post bad reviews if I will not be refunded. Amexi you must start to worry not if you will send me in court but from electronic crime. I went to my bank to claim my money because you are very greedy person as i understand to refund even 47 euros when i opened ticket at paypal. I make application to electronic crime for your company. I post in social networks, forums about your scam company. You will remember me for many years
The images (order 1 - order 2 - order 3 - order 4) are my orders including the modules. AT the images (Modules panel 1 - Modules panel 2- Modules panel 3) you can see that you didn't installed me all the modules. Facebook module a simple module you make many days without to be installed. You website according from a research i make EXPIRES in 2016 . A legit company does not expire the company's website in 1 year The message is continue because i can upload only 5 images every time
At the Expiry Date you see that this company's website expires in 2016! Away from this company you will not see again your money. Copy paste everything i post in this forum because the people must know the truth for this company.
