There's more than enough demand to support a good-sized business mediating such sales.
However, there's not enough to demand to keep the shareholders of an IPO'ed company happy.
And there's the problem.
- JAlexoid 5y agoConsidering that the strike is complaining about hike in fees - it doesn't seem like there is enough demand. Is Etsy such a good aggregator, that setting up a storefront with Square is that hard?
- dangrossman 5y agoEtsy has somewhere on the order of 100 million active buyers, searching Etsy for goods to buy every month. If you set up a storefront on Square, you start out with 0 active buyers, searching your storefront 0 times every month. Marketplaces bring tremendous value to small sellers.
- JAlexoid 5y agoSo... Let me get this straight - they get a lot of customers off other people's work, but aren't willing to pay for the increased costs of providing them those extra customers. These Etsy people sound like entitled brats.
