Chapter 1: The Giant’s Toll
You launch on Amazon and sales start strong—until the fees stack up. Referral, fulfillment, storage: there’s a toll at every turn. You work harder while margins shrink, and the giant takes a bite from every sale.

Four paths most sellers try—and the one that finally feels fair.
You launch on Amazon and sales start strong—until the fees stack up. Referral, fulfillment, storage: there’s a toll at every turn. You work harder while margins shrink, and the giant takes a bite from every sale.
Etsy feels creative and cozy, but you pay just to keep the lights on—listing, renewal, transaction, processing. It’s a slow leak in your wallet; you’re moving, but never getting ahead.
Your own storefront sounds perfect—until you’re juggling subscriptions, app fees, and paid ads to drive traffic. The shop is yours, but so are all the costs of getting customers in the door.
There’s demand, but competition is cutthroat. Fees vary, boosts cost extra, and disputes often favor buyers. You hustle to stay visible while the house keeps changing the rules.
Then you find Fyrshop—built to champion sellers, not siphon profits. Simple plans, transparent terms, and room to grow.
It doesn’t cost a thing to list up to 25 items a month, and you only pay after your stuff sells.
It’s just a small percent of the money you earn
