Turns out you can reopen a closed Etsy shop almost any time you want as long as you make sure to back it up with an active credit card and renew all your listings. I've closed the shop, contacted the colo place to cancel my subscription, and informed the City of Boston that I am no longer in business and will not be renewing my permit this year.

If I get enough into the hobby in future I'll get a new address and a new permit and reopen the store.

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.
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.
Considering 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).
Hey, I'm looking for a source for not-too-horribly-expensive scent spray/body spray for a friend of mine. Any #queerowned or #lgbtqia owned businesses out there that trade in such things?

Hey Mastodon! I figured it was finally time for me to make an account on here, since Instagram and X just keep getting worse and worse with no end in sight. So consider this my official #introduction :)

My name is Tristan and I'm a landscape photographer from Vancouver, #Canada. My #photography focuses on forests and mountains, and I love capturing everything from the mundane to jawdropping. It has been my passion for almost 15 years now and I'm working to make it my career as well.

Cheers!
