Why does Etsy shut off shops, I had funds in there and they never sent a verification, I find that traffic is very weak like the traffic not directing to our shops, I feel Etsy has a little hand in who gets all the sales, not to mention the fees, I wonder what's the point in using Etsy, Thinking its time to move away to another platform, I find it very funny that I have sold like 2k worth of product but only made F all profit after fees and the inconsistent traffic. I also have issues with copywriting, how is it shops blatantly use infringed material yet they are allowed to operate? Etsy?? Is this because they make you money? I feel this is not an even playing field and accuse you of traffic manipulation. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I know a little about algorithms and I know they are constantly updated or manipulated to give a wanted result.
mid-January it all died, like nothing, no one buying not a word. that was after an excellent November December. Boom fell off a cliff, and it was after the issues that shut off people's payments error.
Thoughts? am I being too hard on Etsy? does this make Etsy hate me and directs what little traffic to a copywrite infringer and illegal shop? Wonder why lawyers are not involved? Maybe they should be focussing on all the copywright infrigments on Etsy.
