When Etsy began, they only took 3%.
When Silverman came in as new CEO, he discovered Many Many new ways to off load tons of OUR Profit.
It is devastating,
As my business has morphed in to a study of online buyer psychology, people pledge allegiance to corporate platforms over the little guy’s website.
Platform CEO’s now know this and gouge us for every nickel they can.
Leaves very little to live on.

The guy who has every small seller glued to their Star Seller rating is advocating for family leave? That doesn’t add up.
