- personlurking 14y agotl;dr (actually it's not 'too long' but the quoted part below is the only instance in the article where the author speaks of international expansion) "The new money, he said, would help Etsy expand, particularly in other countries. His plan is to hire community managers and open offices in countries where Etsy thinks it can gain a viable footprint. He has his eye on Australia and Canada, among other markets."
