Same. I was looking for a fairly niche item in November (something that would likely be handmade), and everything I saw was essentially a drop-shipped mass production item. That is not what I wanted. I wound up buying from an Amazon shop because... well :shrug: Now, 3 years ago it was not even close to that. Maybe 10%, 20% of sellers. Today it seems like 95% of it is drop-shipped goods. If I wanted that, I'd go to Aliexpress. I think, tbh, Etsy will have to kick these shippers out, or rebrand. I know it used to be real rough to move goods in enough volume to have substantial success, but this is wildly different.
