The 5 Best Online Shops for Antiques & Vintage Products (besides eBay)

1

eBay

While it’s rather big, Etsy’s 50 million product listings are still dwarfed by eBay’s entries, but Etsy’s strength lies in its focus on selling handmade and vintage products online. In the world of do-it-yourself, vintage, and upcycling, Etsy has become a juggernaut in its own right and is attracting competition of its own. As of today, though, Etsy continues to be substantially bigger than all its major competitors (except eBay). DaWanda, one of Etsy’s major competitors in Europe, has abandoned the fight against the giant back in August 2018 and DaWanda sellers were given the option to migrate their shops to Etsy.

Ruby Lane

In the vintage category, Ruby Lane mainly focuses on vintage collectibles and vintage fashion. Most other items sold on Ruby Lane are antiques, such as furniture or lighting. Due to Ruby Lane’s strict vetting process, the vintage products sold online are of much higher quality than those found on less specialized websites, which makes for a pleasant and less time-consuming shopping experience on a clean interface. Ruby Lane’s vendors cater to a slightly more affluent audience than Etsy but still offer reasonable prices to online shoppers. Customers browsing Ruby Lane come primarily from the United States and Canada, but also from the UK, Australia, and Germany.

Bonanza Background Burner

Another feature that sets Bonanza apart from the competition is the extensive import tool that allows to easily add existing shop listings from other sources, such as eBay, Etsy, or Shopify. Bonanza also offers advertising options beyond featured listings, using platforms such as Google Shopping. There is no Bonanza app, but customers on smartphones can use the mobile-optimized version of the website. Bonanza’s website appears user-friendly, albeit a little less visually appealing than Etsy. Every Bonanza shop features a built-in chat system, supplied for free by the website, and the site is rather straightforward to use.

Zibbet

Another feature that sets Zibbet apart from the competition is the option to create a standalone website in addition to your Zibbet shop. This may be an interesting choice for vendors who are not particularly technology-oriented but would still like to customize their own web-space, in order to promote it among clients without passing through the main platform. Vendors who are interested in giving their product sales pages the optimum amount of creative effect should take a lengthy glance at Zibbet.
