ATTENTION! ETSY has recently changed ownership/management & is currently screwing over all of their sellers who have shops on their site by forcing them to partake in offsite advertising (whether they agree to it or not) starting in April. For any purchases that come from clicking onto their ads, they will be taking AN ADDITIONAL 15% of the sale ON TOP OF THE FEES THEY ALREADY CHARGE US, WHICH THEY RAISED LAST YEAR! This means, in total it is around 30%+ of each sale that they will be pocketing! They are giving us no choice, as if we have no rights at all to choose whether we want to partake in the advertising or not, only giving us a chance to opt out of it in 2 months AFTER we get billed for any sales we had in that time. HOW IS THIS LEGAL?!? Sellers, have rights too! I (& many others) find this TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! 30% is outrageous & makes it impossible for me to ever run sales or give any discounts to people. There are hundreds of sellers complaining to them now about this & planning on leaving (including me, as we are PISSED)! Regardless of the uprising, it looks as though ETSY is going forward with this new policy, so things will be changing as follows:
*As my listings expire in my ETSY shop, I will NOT be renewing them, so if you do not see something on there that could be why. Some of these pieces are still available, so PLEASE EMAIL ME USING THE CONTACT FORM TO INQUIRE ABOUT A NECKLACE.
*I will be in the process of closing my ETSY shop permanently, but this will take a few months to complete. Listings will still be available at this time on ETSY.
*I will be opening a shop & selling on another platform. DETAILS WILL BE PROVIDED ABOUT THIS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
*I can sell any available pieces directly by using PayPal. IF YOU PURCHASE DIRECTLY FROM ME, I will be selling at a much lower price than the prices that are listed on ETSY, so if you want a good discount email me!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE & UNDERSTANDING DURING THIS TIME OF TRANSITION! Moving my shop to a new location will take a couple months to complete, but I expect things to go smoothly. I will post updates on the new information as soon as I'm able. The moral to the story is:
STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS ALWAYS & DON'T LET PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU! Thanks everyone!
More soon, ~C*
