I’m probably going to keep the etsy shop closed til the second week of May, maybe indefinitely. I’m not a fan of the direction they are going in. Plus they’ll shut down my shop on the 18th anyways just because I don’t want to use them as a payment processor.
After May 18th, Etsy payments are mandatory. Anyone not using them (and giving them an extra chunk of fees) will have their shops closed. They say they want consistency… honestly it just sounds like greed to me. Once you enable Etsy payments it’s the default at checkout, so your customer has to change the automatic selection if they want paypal.
I was unaware of this and feel it necessary to inform my followers.
