well….how lovely…. This Etsy seller of 12 years would love just a piece of that kind of recognition for helping to build and maintain the site over the years!
Seriously??
I hope he donates most of it.
So, they have $9 million to pay someone to take sellers for everything they can, but they don’t have the money to cover the cost of doing business — like all the disputes they’re using as an excuse to hold sellers’ funds? Why does this continue?
