Summary
If you have followed me for a hot minute, you know I am a firm believer of never putting all your eggs in one basket. When you use someone else's platform to sell your goods, you have to follow their rules and their guidelines.

Let's dive into what has happened on Etsy lately and what I think you should do about it!
