Yes. Products liability cover can protect you against claims relating to products you make and sell from the UK, including through Etsy, subject to the terms of your policy.
Does Etsy insure its sellers?
No. Etsy doesn’t provide liability insurance for its sellers. If a buyer makes a claim against you because one of your products has injured them or damaged their property, you would be responsible, not Etsy.
How can products liability insurance help?
If a claim is made against you over a product you’ve made and sold, products liability insurance can cover the compensation you’re legally liable to pay and the associated legal costs, up to the limit shown in your policy schedule.
Products liability cover doesn’t pay to refund, replace or recall a faulty item.
What about buyers outside the UK?
Cover can apply to products bought by customers outside the UK. However, products sold or shipped to the USA or Canada are not covered. If you sell on Etsy, check your shipping settings so you know which countries you’re selling to.
Do I need craft insurance if I only sell on Etsy?
A claim can happen to any maker, however small their business. Craft insurance means you don’t have to face that cost alone.
