This would be a minor inconvenience for drop shippers but kill small businesses by drowning them in fees and paperwork.

Etsy already charges fees, even just to LIST items, regardless of whether they sell or not.

I've been wanting to sell some of my 3D printed designs, but I'm not paying a buck a piece for a listing that will earn me 5 to 10 bucks if I manage to sell.

The listing fee on Etsy is 20ยข ($0.20).


In the UK it's more if I remember correctly, and this is only the basic fee which doesn't offer all the functionalities.
