but i want to say, they take a big cut from any customer who clicks on an ad, i have a regular recurring customer who must click on the ad every time to get to us, and they take a HUGE cut every time, even tho she's a recurring customer, because the ad! obv, i can't ask her not to click the ad, but that's clearly how she navigates to us, because the ads are misleadingly labeled, and i'm sure she just thinks that's the actual link to my store, so anyway etsy takes more than my profit, every time

ETSY STRIKE INFO

I know it’s not my normal content but I’ve shared things about my Etsy shop on here before so I wanted to post about the Etsy strike going on from April 11-18.

We are striking because Etsy has continued to increase fees for shop owners and are increasing their transaction fee from 5% to 6.5%. Myself and many of my fellow shop owners are using Etsy as a primary source of income and this increase would mean we would make even less than we already do.

On top of transaction fees etsy takes .20 per listing posted, .20 to auto-renew a listing (which happens every three months or so), and a payment fee of 3% + .25 per sale.

We are making more demands of Etsy like ending the star seller program, cracking down on resellers, and removing roadblocks between shop owners and their earnings (including their infamously shitty shop support system). Please do more research on your own and educate yourself about the demands and issues in this matter.

I will be participating and putting my shop in vacation mode and we ask that you don’t purchase from Etsy during that time.

Obviously not everyone will be able to participate in the strike but we ask that you support those striking and not purchase on Etsy during those days. If you would like to buy from an Etsy seller during that time contact them directly.

Give your money to artists not corporations.

Capitalism is an illness we desperately need to cure.

Since I know a lot of dice buyers and sellers do so via Etsy, I felt this was important to share (Your picture was not posted)
