    I am sad for the workers but not sad for Etsy. Its just a milking company squeezing the most out of hard working and Creative individuals

      My wife keeps bringing up Etsy to sell things I make in my hobby, but they take too much of the sale and nobody would (probably) pay for it if I marked up to make my take-home the same as cash sales.

      Plus with the severe saturation of the site with metalwork… I’d probably never sell anything that way anyway.
