anybody here have a shop on ETSY?? What do you say about all the threads in forum regarding order glitches, stats glitches, missing emails etc?

Whats up GLP....I figured it was about time to offer my opinion based on sound evidence of ETsy.com engaged in fraud and mischief with its shop owners and buyers of etsy items.

For well over a year there have bee sustained and ever increasing complaints from shop owners of bad inacurate sales stats, traffic stats, missing emails from customers, suspicious closures of shops with no valid reason, and much much more.

I have been in the online sales arena for 15 years and have been a merchant and a customer and am quite astute with the tricks and scams of million dollar companies who host shops,stores, and also do the customer billing and payouts.

Let me just say allowing some one like etsy to host your shop, collect your payments, and report your *SALES* stats to you in delayed trickled down time frame is very risky and a sure fire way to limit and restrict the growth of your shop awhile letting a triple headed monster like etsy suck down your sales trends and raw sales data that can be very very lucrative in the hands of a competitor.

I think it is about high time that we further expose the tops of these billion dollar corporations as being blood suckers not only of innocent blood but sucking the blood out of small american mom and pop business.

It breaks my heart when I see american do gooders in the forums of etsy trying to place their finger on what is causing their sporadic sales and multitude of stats and order glitches as they sit their in wanton denial asking themselvves ad infinitem what could the cause be from the economy, to the weather, to the solar flares,etc.

they take all kinds of guesses as what could be causing successful shops to flat line at certain times and not a single one of them has the intellect, courage or experience to be able to say..."yep after viewing all the evidence and testimonies it sure looks like etsy is rigged and playing fast and loose with shop owners funds.

but no in america trendy latte sippinng mom and pop store owners who are suppose to know better still think that blood suckers are only a myth.

They cannot understand that it is not your sales that counts, it is who counts your sales that counts.

and Etsy and other places like them who host shops for merchants, and collect payments, and report stats are really in a win win position and they can literally shut your sales off with the click of a mouse and the silly american mom and pop shops are twirling their thumbs asking if its the weather or politics causing bad or spotty sales when it is clear to someone like me that etsy is on the take.

there is no other way to explain why a multi million dollar company has permantly broken stats that display inacurate traffic,sales, and emails, among other glitches that go on for months and months and never get sorted out.

it means they are straight ripping off the people on both sides customers and merchants getting shafted and not too many intelligent or brave enough to call it like it is for fear of having their shops shut down.

sad when we are ruled by blood suckers who think they are so much more clever and bold then us silly humans
