What is the Dope Soul Village Marketplace?
Dope Soul Village is a worldwide marketplace created exclusively for women to sell their products and services. Unlike traditional marketplaces, our profits help fund Finally Free CIC, whose mission is to create domestic abuse shelters and support services for women, children and their pets.
This isn't just somewhere to sell - t's a community built on women supporting women.
What is the Founding Seller Offer?
Between 17th July and 20th July only, you can become a Founding Seller for a one-off payment of £50.
As long as your shop remains active with listings, you'll never pay another subscription fee.
No monthly payments.
No annual renewals.
Just one payment for a lifetime seller account.
Will this offer ever be available again?
No.
This is a genuine one-time Founding Seller offer and it will never be repeated.
We're offering it as a way to get the momentum needed to open our first domestic abuse shelter, while saying thank youto the women who believed in this vision from the very beginning.
The women who join during these four days will always be recognised as our Founding Sellers.
Why only £50?
Because we wanted to create an opportunity that almost every woman could afford.
This is our way of thanking the women who believe in themselves enough to invest in their business, while also believing in our mission to build life-changing services for women.
You're helping us build something extraordinary, and we wanted to reward that belief with a lifetime seller account.
What happens after 20th July?
The Founding Seller offer closes permanently.
Future sellers will join under our standard subscription plans, but this £50 lifetime offer will never return. This isn't a marketing ploy - when I say it'll never return, it never will.
Who can sell?
Any woman, anywhere in the world, can apply to become a seller, provided the products or services meet our marketplace guidelines.
We're building a global community because women supporting women shouldn't have borders.
I already sell on Etsy. Do I have to upload everything again?
No.
You can simply sync your Etsy shop and transfer your listings into the marketplace, making it quick and easy to get started.
Why should I join instead of just keeping my own website?
You absolutely can have your own website.
But for many businesses, website hosting, maintenance, apps and subscriptions cost hundreds—or even thousands—every year.
For just £50, you're securing a lifetime seller account on a growing marketplace while becoming part of a community dedicated to supporting women.
How does my membership help women?
Every seller helps fund Finally Free CIC.
Our long-term goal is to create domestic abuse shelters and services where women, children and their pets can find safety, stability and the time they need to rebuild their lives.
Every new seller brings us one step closer to making that vision a reality.
Is this just another online marketplace?
No.
We're building far more than somewhere to buy and sell.
We're building a community.
A movement.
A matriarchy where women support women, collaborate instead of compete, and use business as a force for positive change.
Will the marketplace continue to improve?
Absolutely.
As our community grows, we'll continue investing back into the platform with new features, integrations, payment options, seller tools, customer reviews, advertising opportunities and ongoing improvements based on what our sellers need.
The more women who join, the stronger the Village becomes.
Will there be an algorithm deciding who gets seen?
No.
We don't want sellers competing against an algorithm.
Products are organised through categories and search, making it easier for customers to discover businesses based on what they're're actually looking for, rather than whatever an algorithm decides to promote.
Why become a Founding Seller?
Because opportunities like this don't come around twice.
For a one-off payment of £50, you'll secure a lifetime seller account, become part of the founding community, invest in your own business, and help build services that could change the lives of women, children and their pets for generations to come.
Join the Village.
Build your business.
Help build a matriarchy.
Help build a future where no woman has to face abuse alone.
