You store owners that actually make your things should have a big banner -- Made in USA by real people -- sort of thing.<br /><br />Etsy only cares about the money they get. More sales from some Chinese sweatshop, more money in their pocket.Maddie Can Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958817072275895189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6481982988657242770.post-89650352420883308532013-10-05T22:01:48.432-07:002013-10-05T22:01:48.432-07:00WOW!

I cannot believe they would do this as the whole premise behind Etsy is HANDMADE. You know, today, you can't even know what to believe anymore on the internet. Sometimes you just feel like everyone has the wool pulled over our eyes! I say to all the handcrafters out there, just keep doing what you do, and people will know that you are genuine and want to buy from you. Hopefully.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402220963886597754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6481982988657242770.post-43962911480226415762013-10-03T12:38:51.054-07:002013-10-03T12:38:51.054-07:00I haven't seen the announcement.

I was a bit frustrated when I started seeing more and more "antique" or "vintage" stuff on there too. It's hard enough to be seen on there already. If they allow mass produced stuff it ruins the whole concept and the shopping and selling experience all together. I sure hope they change their mind!

I had a web site at one time and now I wish I still had it. Maybe I will do another one. I'm tired of the having to relist every day or you get lost in the back of the crowd.

They give practically nothing back to the people that list items over and over, that often don't even sell.<br /><br />I only sell patterns, and I have so quite a few over the years. (No where near enough to live on, of course). Relatively, my items don't cost much, so all the re-lists eat up quite a bit of the profit. I stopped bothering with keeping it up. I choose to do pattern delivery by email, so I get no support. I take a lot of risk on myself, and sometimes I doubt it's worth it.<br /><br />But you know, you shouldn't blame the average Etsy sellers for the corporate greed. A lot of us, just do this because we like it.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691778613660930779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6481982988657242770.post-64448082205599425912013-10-01T22:55:09.949-07:002013-10-01T22:55:09.949-07:00I have just had a look at Craftsy and can't se...I have just had a look at Craftsy and can't see that it sells crafted items???

Why does it seem to be the rule that the more a business makes, the greedier it gets?

It seems like, just when something is working for me, they change it. I blame it on money. Can't you just picture a bunch of young execs at Etsy (who lived with mom and borrowed parent's money to get started) sitting around trying to come up with ways to make more money? Thanks for sharing...I know it's frustrating. XO BevBevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067702704778201176noreply@blogger.com
