Amazon boycotts must be making a dent; they’re running tv spots “reminding you that 60% of Amazon sales are from independent sellers.”

Time to open a new store, independent sellers!

@DemocracyMattersALot there is etsy.com there is ebay.com and probably many more.

Having vendors join the strike by switching platforms would be huge.

@rhold @DemocracyMattersALot switching from A to Etsy (some years ago, they jacked the percentage they charge sellers & in the early days of the #Ukraine war, froze the accounts of Ukrainian sellers) isn’t really an improvement, particularly if you’re talking to/about independent creators, makers, or craftspeople. Be careful which platforms you’re recommending even obliquely. Trading the devil you know for one that you don’t is not a wise choice because neither is our friend. People need to take the time not just to vet platforms but also to explain the reasoning behind their choices. (Better alternatives might be #ArtisansCooperative, #BigCartel, #IndieMade or #GoImagine )
