crowmarkcreationsConsidering shutting down my Etsy store. Haven't actually made jewelry in months (mostly I've been sewing instead), haven't made a sale in months, and since the Etsy store isn't in my legal name I have to have a DBA certificate, which means I have to have a business address, and since I rent an apartment I can't actually operate the business out of the apartment due to insurance issues (I checked with the landlord).
Neither Boston nor the town I live in will let a business register with a PO box as their primary address so I have to pay monthly fees at a colocation space and that's expensive. It makes no sense to keep the Etsy store existing if I'm not actually making enough jewelry to need to sell any of it off.
If anyone has an alternative to colo that means I don't have to pay more per month than I actually ever sold (I made a profit for a while some time back but the colo space upped their prices and now there's nowhere in Boston that charges a reasonable price for just having their address rather than actually going into their building and using their space), let me know.
