Every time I buy something from the ebay I groan about the postage, which from the US is applied very liberal, without seeming guidelines and exorbitant. But to get back to etsy and postage, Canada Post, a Crown Corporation, is charging 13% Tax on postage, which I need to pay to get any mail on the road. I commiserate with you, but that will not change a bit.

This is my cost to ship and does not constitute as revenue. This is a liability to my shop. I think increasing the cost per sale should be quite enough to fuel whatever they are doing. Don't charge me on something that isn't revenue to me. REALLY! AUGH!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01050710309183414687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508733528711241001.post-67364262981629634462018-06-21T22:49:34.062-04:002018-06-21T22:49:34.062-04:00It really is a shame.

They have come so far from what they set out to be. Such a shame. It is flooded with cheap, ready made items from China. It’s more like a market now. I too will be closing my storeJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03437012003993019431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508733528711241001.post-82812872902823876592018-06-15T17:32:23.214-04:002018-06-15T17:32:23.214-04:00I also sell on etsy.

As I see it my options are selling at a local gift shop that has inquired about my pottery previously, selling on ebay, raising my prices to stay on etsy, or throwing in the towel all together. I've disliked many things about etsy in the past, and this is just the cherry on top!

I bet it somehow resulted in this increase for Etsy since they rely on the internet. Can't wait to see what else happens and am especially anxious to find out how slow things will get. Gotta love those politicians!Mary Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025570388746735222noreply@blogger.com
