A coalition of thousands of Etsy sellers signaled support for a one-week strike starting on Monday — the same day the online marketplace known for its unique handicrafts will start hiking the fees it charges those who use its platform to earn a living.
An online petition started by Etsy shop owner Kristi Cassidy urging the company to cancel the fee increases — which tick up from 5% to 6.5% starting Monday — has garnered nearly 50,000 signatures. Of those signatories, some 18,500 come from people who have identified as Etsy sellers who support the strike, according to Etsy shop operator and strike participant Mattie Boyd."We feel like we deserve a seat at the table," Boyd told CNN Business.
" Demands listed in the petition include canceling the fee increases passed onto sellers; creating a comprehensive plan to crack down on"reseller" shops ; improve and expedite the support systems for sellers who have had their business disrupted by Etsy's automated tools; end the"Star Seller" program that Etsy uses to rate sellers; and to let sellers opt out of offsite ads for their products.
