Black Friday/Cyber Monday and More Etsy Crap

Always pitifully late to the party, Etsy published their "plan" for Black Friday/Cyber Monday on November 20, and guess what sellers? It’s a list of what sellers can do to lose more money on Etsy!

Yes, you too can:
1. Lower your prices to below-below cost!

2. Label everything in your store BARGAIN! DISCOUNT! 99% OFF!
2. Offer FREE SHIPPING and lose big piles of money fast!
3. Market Etsy for free all over cyberspace and provide even MORE free labor than usual!


Sure looks like marymary did it again! Slapped together a crappy plan in 5 minutes to make it look like Etsy's doing something for sellers when it’s all about WHAT SELLERS CAN DO FOR ETSY! How much lower can you go Etsy?


Thanks Mary for giving sellers even more work to do to NOT sell a damn thing on Etsy!

Scheduled Downtime on the Busiest Shopping Weekend..

http://www.etsy.com/storque/etsy-news/etsy-alert-scheduled-site-maintenance-sunday-november-30-at--2992/

Here in this Dorque article, they note that the site will be scheduled for maintenance on Sunday, Nov 30, between 4-6am EST.

Well, golly gee fuckers, this is the busiest shopping weekend of the year for the United States, and possibly for international customers to get great deals on items too.

We all know how the upgrades went the last time they did this during the holiday season.. *cough*clusterfuck*cough*

How about growing a brain, Admin and quit messing with our businesses in a way that could adversely impact our own holiday spending cash?? What in the flying fuck were you thinking?!? Oh wait, you weren't and that's part of the problem...
