Lots of things have happened to 1stDibs! We are a leading online marketplace for extraordinary design. Since 2000, we have captured the magic of the Paris flea market, connecting those seeking the most beautiful things on earth with highly coveted sellers and makers in furniture and home decor, art, fine jewelry and fashion.

The first couple of decades in the history of our global e-commerce platform have been busy. In 2003, 1stDibs moved to New York City and added dealers from the New York metropolitan area. We launched Introspective, the official magazine of 1stDibs dedicated to uncovering and illuminating the stories behind designs as well as their creators.

In the ensuing years, 1stDibs added verticals for art, fine jewelry and fashion and launched dealers in the United Kingdom, Europe, Scandinavia and elsewhere. In 2016, we transitioned from our position as a listings site to an e-commerce model, and five years later, 1stDibs went public. The company’s common stock has been approved for listing and is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “DIBS.” 

With the arrival of Auctions in 2021, 1stDibs now enables guests to place bids on their favorite items — spanning furniture, home decor, art, fine jewelry, watches, handbags and fashion — offering the thrill associated with a treasure hunt and winning a beloved item at an exceptional price. 

Today our best-in-class platform allows shoppers to buy directly, negotiate a price or bid on items at auction and enables them to interact with sellers throughout all stages of the transaction, including item inquiries, price negotiations and customization requests. 1stDibs works with a range of trusted prestigious sellers around the world, who are respected professionals in their fields, and the company is committed to shoppers’ satisfaction and peace of mind with every single purchase.

Sellers on 1stDibs can take certain steps to help increase their sales. By bringing together some of the world’s best sellers and galleries from over 50 countries specializing in furniture, art, fine jewelry and fashion, our global e-commerce platform offers a unique collection of inventory for buyers seeking the most beautiful things on earth. As a seller, you’ll reach millions of discerning collectors, sophisticated customers and top interior designers around the world. 

Here are a few steps you can take to grow your business and increase your sales on 1stDibs:

Add all of your inventory. We can’t sell what we don’t have on the marketplace. Even with the expansive range of offerings available on 1stDibs, we know that potential buyers who are looking for that unique one-of-a-kind piece need a range of prices and a variety of colors, sizes and styles from which to choose. When a seller lists more of their inventory on 1stDibs, they’re better positioned to take advantage of the tools and features that the platform provides, which make it easy to recommend an additional piece to a buyer, upsell when a seller lists a complementary piece a month later and more. Even for the platform’s new and custom makers, who typically have a smaller collection on offer, we encourage you to list all the possible variations of a piece to improve the likelihood of attracting greater interest.

Price competitively from the beginning. Boosting your list price to “see what you can get” or leaving a large range for negotiations will likely scare off a potential customer. Because your competition is just a click away, if your price seems inflated compared to others on 1stDibs or other sites, a buyer is less likely to click on your listing to learn more about your piece and they will never know how it stands out from other items.

Respond promptly and professionally to all potential buyer inquiries. Due to the uniqueness and high value of most of the pieces on 1stDibs, buyers typically inquire about similar or complementary pieces from multiple sellers. It is helpful to be the first to respond and help the buyer feel confident purchasing your piece. Our messaging tools allow you to share more about your history and background and, of course, more details on the provenance of a piece. We also provide built-in features to help you close a sale by recommending another piece that is perhaps better suited to the buyer’s budget or sending them a private offer.
