Smol Etsy rant…

Etsy has a program where they force higher performing shops into an advertising scheme that takes 15% off the top of every sale.

They call them ‘Offsite Ads’. If anyone clicks into my shop and makes a purchase within 30 days - they’ll snag 15% off the entire total (+regular Etsy fees, taxes, shipping, all of it).

I just had a ‘sale’ come through for $75. Wanna know much I actually get paid after fees, taxes, and shipping? $32. That’s it.

Please, PLEASE shop directly through Etsy if you are shopping there and supporting small businesses this holiday season! Try to avoid click through Ad purchases!

Thank you,
A stressed Etsy seller
