Etsy is one of the world's largest marketplaces for handmade, vintage, and digital products — perfect for Bangladeshi artisans, textile sellers, and digital product creators. When you sell on Etsy.com and earn from US buyers, Etsy requires a Tax Identification Number to process your W-8BEN. An ITIN prevents 30% withholding and keeps your earnings intact.
Bangladeshi sellers have a natural advantage on Etsy. Bangladesh's rich textile heritage — muslin, jamdani, nakshi kantha — attracts buyers globally. Digital product creators from Bangladesh also thrive on Etsy, selling printables, templates, fonts, and digital art to US and international buyers.
Etsy allows sellers from Bangladesh to open shops and list products. Payments are processed through Etsy Payments or Payoneer for sellers in supported markets.
Etsy is a US company and reports income from US buyers to the IRS. For non-US sellers, Etsy requests a W-8BEN form with a Tax Identification Number to certify foreign status. Without this information, Etsy may withhold 30% of US-buyer earnings before releasing your funds.
Providing your ITIN on Etsy's tax information section certifies your foreign status and eliminates withholding. You then pay taxes only in Bangladesh according to local tax law.
Etsy has expanded international seller payment options, and many Bangladeshi sellers use Payoneer to receive Etsy payments. Payoneer provides a US bank account number that Etsy can deposit to, and Payoneer then transfers the funds to your Bangladeshi bank account.
An ITIN on your Etsy account ensures the full amount is sent to Payoneer without deductions. You then receive the full payment minus Payoneer's small transfer fee.
