I know a long-term seller
Site went to shit. No seller support. No actual new features that are requested, bugs that are known for years and nobody cares, increase in commission percentage, removal of product categories without explanation and absolutely zero willingness to stop drop shippers flooding the site
It’s basically a shittier Amazon marketplace now
Person I know just has whatever is left running there and doesn’t bother updating the catalogue
https://artisans.coop/ is run by the actual people making the things being sold. It was started by a group of Etsy sellers who were tired of Etsy’s bullshit.
Nice tip! This has no right being as cute as it is: https://artisans.coop/products/curious-cat-cozy
They need to work on their search feature. Did a search for “dad hat” and “five panel hat” with no results.
