Repost from @sarah.epperson • ❌ Support Artists & Small Biz! BOYCOTT ETSY: April 11 - 18 ❌ & ✍️ petition bit.ly/ETSYSTRIKE 🔗 in bio ⠀ “#Etsy made bank over the 🦠. In 2020, they more than doubled their sales. In 2021, they kept those 🦠 sales gains & broke their 2020 record by $3.2 billion. ⠀ They followed up these gains by turning around & sticking it to their sellers. April 11, they plan to increase our transaction fees by 30% 🥵 ⠀ 🪧 #EtsyStrike: Sellers will put their #EtsyShop on vacation mode in #protest. Buyers can show support & #BoycottEtsy April 11-18. Demands: ⠀ 1️⃣ Cancel the fee increase Increasing seller fees by 30% after 2 years of record sales is nothing short of 🦠 profiteering. After the increase, our fees as sellers will have 2X in <4 years ⠀ 2️⃣ Crackdown on Resellers Provide a plan for tackling resellers (people selling mass-produced goods they haven’t designed) on Etsy ⠀ 3️⃣ “Golden” Support Tickets People are waiting months to appeal 🖥-made decisions that stop them from accessing their $ or running their business entirely. Sellers should have a fast track through the infamously slow support system. Etsy can’t bill itself as a folksy, #handmade utopia while AI bots terrorize sellers whose livelihood depends on reaching buyers on the platform. ⠀ 4️⃣ End the #StarSeller program Passive-aggressive efforts to influence seller behavior are counter-productive & result in a worse customer experience. Rather than making us 😡 at buyers who leave 4-⭐️ reviews, or making us feel that we can no longer offer letter class shipping on items like cards & #stickers.  Etsy should leave us to do the best we can for each customer. ⠀ 5️⃣ Let All sellers opt out of Offsite Ads Offsite Ads pushes Etsy’s advertising costs onto their sellers by charging us an additional 12-15% fee for each item sold through Ads. Thanks to Offsite Ads, Etsy fees are an unpredictable expense that can take 20%+ off https://www.instagram.com/p/CcUOIMJuYro/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
