Frequently Asked Questions
How much commission does NOTHS charge?
Not On The High Street charges 25% commission on the total value of every sale, plus a £199 annual joining fee. This is a relatively high commission rate — for comparison, Etsy's effective fee rate is typically 10-12% and eBay's is around 13-14%. The NOTHS commission is justified for sellers who benefit from the platform's premium buyer audience and strong brand recognition in the gifts and homeware market.
Is it worth selling on NOTHS?
NOTHS works best for sellers with premium, gift-oriented products that command higher prices. The 25% commission plus £199 annual fee means your pricing must support a significant margin. If your cost of goods is, say, £10, and you sell for £40 (2.5× markup), NOTHS commission is £10 — leaving £20 net. The premium buyer demographic and NOTHS's SEO and marketing reach can justify the fees if your products fit the platform's aesthetic.
How does NOTHS compare to Etsy for UK sellers?
NOTHS has a more curated, premium feel but charges much higher fees (25% vs Etsy's ~10-12% effective rate). NOTHS has a smaller seller base (by design — it's selective) but buyers are typically high-intent and spend more per order. Etsy has a vastly larger global buyer base and lower fees, but more competition. Many successful independent UK makers sell on both platforms to maximise reach.
