WELL WRITTEN and WELL SAID!!
I have a number of Turkish Etsy shop owners contacting me for help and I’m just another shop/just One person ;) I don’t have the power to make Etsy do anything….and if all the Turkish shop owners started making some noise, Etsy might hear it and DO SOMETHING!!
I just sent your link to a shop that’s been contacting me with this message after repeatedly being told “my English not so good…we’re waiting for Etsy to do something…”
“YOU GO MAKE NOISE!! I can understand everything you write, SO will Etsy!!
You KNOW if everyone just sits back waiting for Etsy to do something things may not happen very fast, but IF everyone emails day in and day out, repeatedly over and over again Etsy will be more inclined to DO SOMETHING!! IF everyone in Turkey with shops SHOUTS OUT LOUD at Etsy and demands assistance you may see a change really fast, and IF you include the link I sent you about Shopify…Etsy doesn’t want to lose business…..and there are a LOT of Turkish shops…don’t be afraid, be PRO-ACTIVE :) “
This whole thing is ridiculous! Ridiculous that Etsy hasn’t done anything (that I know of) and the people in power in Turkey are hurting their own people, nothing new to me as an American since our government has been hurting us for far too long!!
CHEERS!!
Serene~
