I had an absolutely terrible experience with Etsy as a seller. Instead of making money, I ended up losing money due to unexpected and unexplained charges. Etsy automatically charges fees without clear communication.Customer service is horrible—it’s nearly impossible to get a real person to help, and when they do respond, they give vague or unhelpful answers. I was charged for marketing services I never signed up for, plus additional fees that were never properly explained. No transparency, no clear statements, just money taken from your account.If you're thinking about selling on Etsy, stay away! I do not recommend Etsy at all.On top of that, the platform is filled with scammers. As soon as I created my shop, I was bombarded with fake messages from people trying to scam sellers. Etsy does nothing to protect sellers from this.
