About Etsy
Etsy sells handmade goods, craft supplies and vintage items from independent sellers, most of them women running small businesses. A seller strike in 2022 over a fee increase drew tens of thousands of shops to close temporarily in protest. The company charges sellers a listing fee plus a commission, and its shift towards paid advertising placements has been a recurring source of friction with the shops that supply it.
