Around 13,000 Etsy sellers are set to go on strike from today (April 11) in protest of a 30 percent fee increase the online selling platform will now be charging them.
Etsy is said to be increasing the transaction fee from five per cent to 6.5% despite it only having just gone up in 2018 from 3.5 percent.
However since its announcement, people have taken to social media in their thousands to share their anger with one seller creating a petition which has almost 50,000 signatures to date.
