I’m gonna put it out there, because I also need this reminder:

Etsy typically gets 20% of an items end cost (inc shipping).

Check if the seller has their own site before making the sale. That way they’re just out the payment processing fee.

Thrilled to see this got shared a lot and received zero haters. I’ve never posted anything that had this level of reach before. 😅
@Asher_Spike also checking artists’ Instagram and social media is great practice! A lot of folks sell through DM’s and comment bids!
@Asher_Spike On my standalone website, the prices are lower for buyers *and* I still earn more per sale than on my etsy shop - it's win-win!

@Asher_Spike Same for your favorite restaurants. The Slice pizza app takes 25 percent an Italiam restaurant owner told me hesterday. That app lasted on my iPhone for one transaction.

Google collaborates with parasitic apps by directing us to fake websites made up to look like the restaurant’s website. Make sure you get to the realmone if you want them to survive!

@Asher_Spike why I don't do etsy. On the other hand getting your separate site noticed is hard.
