It's also an example of how it can be a liability to depend on another self-interested corporate entity for your entire business platform. I've been reading some of the comments on the forums from sellers talking about a significant drop in sales.

Merchants aren't helpless and can put pressure on Etsy to be more open about changes, and ensure that the privacy of their customers is always a first consideration.
