I was contacted by MarketWatch and I was so lucky to have had an opportunity to voice my concerns where millions can weigh in.

Today, ABC, Today and The Guardian also addressed this change. You can read here.

I would also encourage buyers to contact Etsy's administration and weigh in.

Thank you for all of your support!
Hi Jill - I have left a terse comment on Etsy about the proposed changes. Keep up the fight!
