“To participate in Etsy’s Early Holiday sales event, sellers must schedule a sale of at least 20% off to run from October 24 to November 17”
Etsy wants 20% off?? Etsy will always make a profit from every sale while the Seller can make no profit, at all.
From Walmart to Target to Amazon….all retailers are having early October sales to grab as much money from the consumer, as inflation is expected to limit buying power this holiday season.
There is NO way I will discount ANY of my items at 20% off. This is desperate attempt on Etsy’s part to ask for such a deep discount. Etsy kept raising fees on sellers and now product prices are too expensive… I knew this would happen someday! How about if Etsy would eliminate the additional 12% Off-Site Ad fees so that Sellers can reduce their prices?? Sounds fair to me!
Etsy got too greedy and now they are worried, as the U.S. is no longer supporting all that cheap money created by the Federal Reserve since the Financial Crisis of 2008.
Etsy….what a stupid company with mindsets of children!
