Been selling on Etsy for a number of years and it seems like they’re well and truly far behind all the other seller platforms. Etsy needs a revamp with the way it does things. It’s very dated. The fees are extortionate, there’s a listing fee, sales tax, the selling fee and they also have an extortionate advertising fee, which they don’t make clear enough. I sold an item for £90 + with postage and I’ve only received £59 from the total sale. I also sold something for £400 plus and only received £260 ish. Etsy should make it an option for the seller to opt out of the advertisement fee as it’s extorting sellers that make your platform what it is. Once again very disappointed.
