Re: Etsy's downfall is so sad

I do not understand why every fucking e-marketplace is apparently fine with their business being spammed with low-quality dropshipped crap.

Like how is this actually the business strategy that everyone decided to go with?

Etsy gets money for every listing, plus money for purchases. And lots of people don't know what dropshippers are, so they keep buying cheap tat and paying handmade artisanal prices. Monitoring their own site for scammers would take time and money, and in the end, Etsy has figured that it's not worth it. It's a crying shame, the site used to be such a neat place.

But it seems like such an obvious case of a short-run gain that screws you over big time in the long run.

Penny wise and pound foolish.

Oh, I totally agree. But like a lot of companies, short term gains are too attractive to resist, even if it devalues the whole point of the site in the first place.
