The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank today is awful news.  I wonder what this means for Etsy sellers and funds.

@ThePurplePuppy I don't blame him. But I thought football was over for the season? Basketball and golf are my only sports.

I suspect people will cause a bank run on Monday morning in a panic.

I just double checked my email, there's no email from Etsy.

Normally I get paid on a Monday afternoon, keeping my fingers crossed.

The sales volume at the moment is lousy, I wonder if there is any connection to the bank issues, even though it wouldn't make sense.

My sales has been bad, my views are super weird.  one day it's 150 views and then next it's 15 and so on.  Just a random set of views and no sales atm.  This bank situation won't help us any.

This bank failure has absolutely nothing to do with traffic on Etsy.

Actually, the uncertaintly with the banking system may have effect on people spending money in general, including Etsy.

We've had 3 banks fail so far, a bail out is a temporary fix.  People will be watchig their funds carefully for some time.

On average several banks fail every year.  The past two years have been unusually quiet.  This is just a return to normal, and considering one was due to cryptocurrency exposure and the other due to mismanagement by venture capitalists, those two were to be expected.  I haven't researched yet why Signature was closed.  Rarely are banks closed for reasons of economic climate.  They almost always are due to mismanagement of that particular bank. 

Beyond a few days perhaps, as long as people can get at their money, this will have little impact on most people except for the most nervous or biggest conspiracy theorists.

It’s the second largest bank failure in history. Not business as usual or a once a year occurrence @dayspringcollectible

The NFL is over for the year. This is a new  franchise called XFL? I think and then starting next month is the USFL franchise.

 

NFL is just the biggest, most powerful and best known. Personally, I would call these new ones more like minor league baseball.

 

But you know these die hard fans will watch most anything!

This article answers many of the questions being asked, and certainly clears up some confusion and misinformation. I strongly recommend reading it through to the end. And don't forget, SVB still held substantial assets which will be sold/auctioned by the Feds to cover deposits.

Just remember Etsy has managed to not pay sellers for a month or two due to computer glitches in the past .  They are not beholden to labor laws or banking laws.  They’re not an employer or a bank.  Even if they have the money, may be awhile before they figure out the technicalities of paying sellers. Some new sellers are kinda pollyannish that this is a one day glitch. Im thinking unlikely.

There are at least 3 threads going on in the forum, so the answer to your questions has been spread around.  There have been sellers reporting they received deposits today.

Some UK/EU sellers also reported they unexpectedly received deposits yesterday.
