Hey everyone, I’m a bit confused about Etsy’s new shipping setup. Did anyone else notice this change? I’m trying to figure out why there’s now a $10 minimum for buying a label. A lot of my orders usually ship for $6-8, so this seems like a big jump.
I’m wondering if there are any advantages to this new system that I’m missing. Maybe it helps with international shipping costs? Or is there something else I’m not seeing?
If anyone has more info on this, I’d really appreciate it. It’s kind of throwing off my pricing, and I want to make sure I’m not missing something important. Thanks for any help!
yeah, I’ve noticed this too! its super frustrating for us small sellers. maybe etsy’s trying to push us towards bundling items? I’ve been thinking about offering deals on multiple purchases to make that $10 shipping more worthwhile. anyone else tried this? curious if its affected ur sales at all. lets brainstorm ways to work around this!
Hey Isaac_Stargazer, thanks for bringing this up! I’ve been scratching my head over this change too. It’s definitely throwing a wrench in things for those of us with lower-priced items, right?
I wonder if Etsy’s trying to push us towards bundling orders or offering free shipping on higher-priced items? Maybe they’re thinking bigger picture, but it’s tough on us smaller sellers.
Have you thought about adjusting your pricing strategy? I’m considering offering deals on multiple items to make that $10 shipping more worthwhile for customers.
What about you guys? Anyone found a clever workaround or heard anything from Etsy about the reasoning behind this? It’d be great to get some insider info if anyone’s chatted with Etsy support about it.
Also, has anyone noticed if this is affecting their sales? I’m curious if customers are balking at the higher shipping costs or if it’s not making much difference.
Let’s keep brainstorming on this – there’s got to be a way to make it work for us!
