Yes, as of 2026, it appears that Moksi appears to be intended for South Africa-based sellers.
If you’re looking for alternatives to Etsy and come across Moksi, you may be wondering whether this marketplace is available to you. Unfortunately for sellers in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, it appears that Moksi may not be the best choice for you.
What Can You Sell on Moksi?
You can sell handcrafted items such as fashion, jewellery, and art. The site also allows the sale of food items such as baked goods and confectionary, although these need to be handmade and comply with South African food hygiene standards.
Like British marketplace Folksy, Moksi doesn’t allow the sale of mass produced goods.
Does Moksi Allow International Buyers?
The company says that they currently only allow delivery within the borders of the Republic of South Africa.
This means that both international buyers and sellers will need to look elsewhere for Etsy alternatives.
Where Can I Sell Instead?
If you’re not based in South Africa, your best options may be:
US
Amazon Handmade– A sub-division within Amazon that allows independent creators to sell handmade and upcycled goods.
Canada
MavenFair– A Canadian marketplace that is designed exclusively for Canadians to buy and sell handmade items. It’s effectively a Canada-only alternative to Etsy.
UK
Folksy– A British platform that’s based in the north of England, and prohibits the sale of mass produced goods.
Australia
Madeit– An Australian platform for creators and artisans, allowing buyers and sellers to find each other.
New Zealand
Felt– An NZ site that is designed as a Kiwi-only craft marketplace. Like many others on this list, it requires the seller to contribute creatively to the design, not just sell mass produced items.
