Otto Now Open To European Sellers

As announced in February, Otto is opening up their marketplace to European sellers. Already able to sell on Otto are sellers from the Netherlands, and in June Poland will be the next country Otto welcomes sellers from.

To ensure a seamless integration, Otto are rolling out this expansion in phases. This means that they will gradually enable individual countries and selected legal entities for integration.

After the Netherlands and Poland, we’re expecting Austria, France, Spain, and Denmark to follow later in the year.
