Questions they addressed (besides the fee increase):

“Why are you charging a fee for shipping?”

“Can you confirm that buying into the new levels will not impact placement in Etsy search?”

“What marketing plans do you have other than ads on the TV show, Making It?”

"Will these fees help the small shops at all?"

“Could you explain the advantages of the monthly packages you'll be offering?”

“What is the long-term strategic goal or move for Etsy?”
