Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

I still don't get etsy. It's like the world's shittiest craft fair.
Idk, I found a lot of shops for custom pieces that I would not have otherwise found. I’ve never had an issue with them
I haven't either, but I also realize for me that's survivorship bias. It must have enough issues that they're trying to weasel this into their TOS.
I agree, it’s sketchy and unfair practice to include those lines. I’m thinking they either had an issue in the past like you said, or whatever legal team works for them decided that was something they could get away with to aggressively protect the business.
I want to start 3d printing as a side business. Etsy has seemed like a decent way to get some products out the door. But the more I look into it and the more I hear about moves coming from etsy makes me nervous to get too far into it.
I do run a 3D printing business, I’m on Etsy, eBay, and my own platform. Most of my sales unfortunately come through Etsy, they also take the largest chunk out of my profits..
Some really cool chess sets on there, sets you'd probably never see again in your lifetime. Probably other unique stuff too.
