As a seller, for quite a few years now I really don't know why I haven't left earlier. I have spent so much time and effort on my shop and products, and given Etsy way to much money... I found that some of MY INVENTIONS would be copied, so I just took them off all together.
There's to many and to much CRAP shall I say, on there... LOts of OVERSEAS shall we say sellers., and It seems if you don't pay for Extra advertising, well... YOu get lost in the shuffle.
I felt like I was being nickel and Dimed just more and more... They were making more off of me than I was making myself. I did the WEB page new thing they have... The constant renewal fees,,, everytime I made a sell fees... uploaded item fees... and now with all the new stuff they have coming at us... For THEM to make money...
My Items are getting further and further back in the Pile.
I am leaving you Etsy, you done me wrong... Making my own website with another host where I have more control over the Design of my pages... and can put as many things on it and whatever I want it, without being shut down and not be charged extra...
I am actually saving money!
I will continue to buy my Items from the sellers, my suppliers I have grown to love,,, they have been good to me... But I think being on MY Own is so much more freeing than that NIckel and Dime Shop they have going on... Good Luck everyone.
