Ironically this is the best time to be a seller on etsy. But regardless of platform, ebay, amazon, etsy, shopify - you are always at mercy of the platform and being deplatformed. Sellers should use the platforms as a funnel and then once they verify their idea works, pop it onto a private hosted website within their full control - ofcourse this is a bit complicated, but not really, even something as silly as wordpress + woocommerce + stripe would work, and if you get big enough spend, can get a better rate on credit card gateways. Or, go full crypto.
