It’s ALL nonsense.
A) Ebay & Etsy are NOT rivals (That’s just stupid).
B) The economy is in the tank and people are only buying necessities.
You can’t force people to spend precious money.
C) “Deals” implies cheap garbage. Hand made goods are not the thing of deals.
These greedy nitwits in the wheelhouse need to just zip it and wait for the Good Economy to blossom.
They make one more peep and I’m gone.
I have a second job that pays Very Well, WITH an IRA, that is doing its best year since 1998.
So don’t piss me off.
As a seller I like the new sales feature and the site-wide sales that Etsy is scheduling from time to time. Constant emphasis on sales however devalues the uniqueness of the vintage and handmade merchandise on the site.
