Is Elo7 coming back?
There is no announcement of a comeback. The operation was shut down, the site no longer takes orders, and the stores that lived there ceased to exist. Anyone who depended on the platform — to sell or to buy — needs a new path.
Did you sell on Elo7? What to do now
The store went offline, but what sustained it is still yours: the products, the customers, and the reputation built over years of work. What you need is a new storefront — ideally one that already has buyers, so you do not depend only on promoting your Instagram.
DFG is a Brazilian marketplace with 22 years in the market and millions of visits per month that opened up to custom and creative products, with protected payments and no monthly fee. The first founding sellers get zero fees for 12 months.
Did you buy on Elo7? Where to find custom products
Party favors, invitations, home decor, baby items, digital art, and other handmade or made-to-order products still exist — the makers are relocating. On DFG, the Crafts and Personalized and Digital Art categories gather these products with protected payments: the seller only gets paid after you confirm delivery.
