That is super frustrating that Etsy doesn't allow payments in Nigeria. As Web 3.0 develops, I imagine something similar to Etsy will emerge that will allow payment in crypto, so I hope opportunities will emerge.
It's interesting. There are two designers I particularly like -- one is in Indonesia and one is in India. The one in Indonesia is on Etsy. I always wondered why the Indian designer is not (they have a separate website and advertise on FB, etc.) Now, I see that India is not a country that can sell on Etsy, but Indonesia is. It seems arbitrary.
Regardless, you are very talented and it is a lovely dress!
