Many Etsy users will be going on strike from the 11th-18th and this includes myself. Why are we striking? Because after years of record sales on the site Etsy has added on fee after fee, to the point that many of us are struggling to make a profit. It is greedy, it is wrong, and it is killing small businessesTonight I will put my Etsy shop on vacation for the strike until the 18th. Today is the last day to grab up any merch at their current prices. When I reopen everything will go up 7% to meet inflation, so today is a great day to get something you likewww.etsy.com/shop/samanthamashEtsy is easily the biggest part of my current income, so losing out on sales for a week is a bit rough. Many creators make their living there, so I would highly recommend supporting your favorites there today and soon after the strike is over. Don’t cross that virtual picket line though, try to buy nothing on there from the 11th-18th! If you are a seller there consider shutting your store down for the week, I am not hopeful for change—but I will always try to fight the good fight. Shares are appreciated, as are any financial support -- source link
