Especially given that Etsy is supposed to be primarily for hand-made goods. Their top sellers are very likely already selling items at the speed they can make them, why would someone want Etsy to take a cut of their sales for advertising when they can't actually sell more?

- adrr 7y agoThat was the original model but that doesn’t really scale. It’s primarily another channel for mass manufactured stuff that your can find on aliexpress.
- dawnerd 7y agoI got into it with their support over this. They still claim they don't allow those items but when you report it to them they shrug it off. I've written them off completely now. All of these aliexpress, etc dropshippers are ruining all of the retail sites.

- itronitron 7y agoI'd put that right in the middle of the 'hotel art' category. They should also advertise it as being stain resistant.
