Just saw that has had three articles about how they mistreat their sellers in as many days. As an independent myself, I've been struggling to find purchase (and purchasers) on the platform, which is why I started building - a Etsy-alternative. These articles just go to show how much we need a new space that helps rather than uses them. Please this to help us spread the word.
