my screen tablet has gone fucky wucky and my backup is no longer working so I'm having to do commissions on my other backup (my iPad)

(all prices are in usd)

hi guysss i hate to do this when the worlds exploding and everything but. we're at the tipping point now and ive been meaning to do this for a while so!! my commissions are now open! i need to make like 200bucks this month to uhhh not have my bank account go negative lmao,, so if you are able and interested i would love you support, or else just toss me a reblog to signal boost!

you can reach out to me through tumblr (here!), twitter, or discord (ask for a friend request!) or you can purchase directly from my ko-fi!

i am 100% flexible with requests and we can stretch outside of what i offer if we talk about it together! prices are under the cut, but ko-fi has them all on display!

I know it’s not my normal content but I’ve shared things about my Etsy shop on here before so I wanted to post about the Etsy strike going on from April 11-18.

We are striking because Etsy has continued to increase fees for shop owners and are increasing their transaction fee from 5% to 6.5%. Myself and many of my fellow shop owners are using Etsy as a primary source of income and this increase would mean we would make even less than we already do.

On top of transaction fees etsy takes .20 per listing posted, .20 to auto-renew a listing (which happens every three months or so), and a payment fee of 3% + .25 per sale.

We are making more demands of Etsy like ending the star seller program, cracking down on resellers, and removing roadblocks between shop owners and their earnings (including their infamously shitty shop support system). Please do more research on your own and educate yourself about the demands and issues in this matter.

I will be participating and putting my shop in vacation mode and we ask that you don’t purchase from Etsy during that time.

Obviously not everyone will be able to participate in the strike but we ask that you support those striking and not purchase on Etsy during those days. If you would like to buy from an Etsy seller during that time contact them directly.

Give your money to artists not corporations.

Hey guys!

Kaizu and I will be participating in the Etsy strike coming up from April 11th to the 18th!

Our shop will be put on vacation mode so sales will not be possible.

The Etsy strike is to protest the recent increase in fees. Etsy has announced record profits but still increased fees by 30% and have over the last few years been making the site inhospitable to small creators.

Please help support this strike by not buying anything from Etsy during the week of April 11th.

Here's a link to a petition outlining the exact demands from the strike and also more information on how some changes have harmed small creators.

hey everyone! I’m going to be closing my shop from april 11th to april 18th in solidarity with other etsy sellers to protest etsy’s latest seller fee price hike and certain new policies you can read about below! you know I’m always complaining about their fees and how I prefer to be paid outside of etsy whenever possible. I hope you’ll join me and not cross the picket line from april 11th to april 18th! you know where to find me if there’s anything I have listed that you want to buy or you have an idea for a commission! 🖖🏻
