Not mention the way they treat sellers - like highly interchangeable cogs in their marketplace profits wheel. Not much different these days to how Ebay and Amazon treat sellers or how Google treats their publishers. Etsy-specific Examples: While mandating 24 hour response rates to buyer inquiries for all sellers or else penalized, Etsy takes _weeks_ to reply to seller inquiries such as reporting a hacked account. Etsy routinely "permanently bans" seller accounts with no reason, no warning, no response to appeal and a stated SLA of 'about two weeks' Platform risk is alive and well on Etsy make no mistake. If it's perceived as good for Etsy everyone else is disposable.
