a couple months ago i re-opened my etsy shop because we’re having money troubles. about 2 weeks ago i sold a $65 item, but today when i went to look at my balance i had negative money. why? because etsy had automatically opted me into their “boosted posts” marketing feature, which costs $1 per day. i had to go find the option and turn it off manually.

etsy is opting people into paid marketing without their permission. if you use the site, make sure you aren’t getting charged.

O___O

I gotta check this! Thank you!

check your settings often!

etsy wtf.

And this is yet another reason why I stopped using Etsy.

@theshitpostcalligrapher I know you have a store

thanks! i went to go check but it seems that i don’t even HAVE the marketing tab enabled. like at all. 

I get all my marketing done through the insane amount of free content i supply to yall here, on insta and twitter.
