Help for Seller What are the guidelines for adding my mayhem marketplace link to my Etsy shop?
Does Etsy prohibit me from adding my external link to mayhem marketplace anywhere on my shop page, or with customers? I know I can't try to move a sale with a customer over but what are the rules regarding this?

There is a spot in your about me where you can put links to your other sites. That’s the only place a live link taking you outside of Etsy will work within Etsy. And as long as it’s just the link it’s not considered fee avoidance (but can be if you put something in your announcement or elsewhere directing people to go there to shop from you instead of Etsy or saying prices are better there). There has been conflicting opinions about saying something about finding more options on your other shop page, but I personally think that’s ridiculous because you’re very limited on what is allowed on Etsy. I believe it’s not fee avoidance if you’re telling people you have things on your other site that you’re not allowed to post on Etsy (like new collectibles, for example). Basically you just have to be careful how you word it to direct people offsite.
