Etsy sellers go on strike over fee hikes
the marketplace's latest fee increase by putting their shops into"vacation mode" for a week ending April 18th. Organizer Kristi Cassidy and others are also asking customers to boycott Etsy for the same period. It's unclear just how many sellers have taken action, but a petition to CEO Josh Silverman has nearly 54,000 signatures as of this writing.
There are also complaints of hypocrisy in Etsy's expectations. While the company wants shopkeepers to respond within 24 hours, as publisher Bella Stander said, Cassidy observed that it sometimes takes"weeks or months" for Etsy to answer urgent support requests. She also argued that Etsy's AI sometimes shuts down honest sellers while letting resellers of"sweatshop-produced junk" go unchecked.
