Switching from Etsy
Alright y'all... I'm tired of Etsy fees. It was super convenient for the shipping labels but they took $100 of fees for 17 sales last month and that's just not sustainable for a small business like myself.
So I'm asking for your opinions!
Has anyone used big cartel? I hear good things but I'd love to read some user experiences from both sides (as a seller and a purchaser). I'm considering switching over there as it seems way more reasonable than Etsy's ridiculous fees.

Wait maybe this is a stupid question but do you guys like… recognize my art when you see it on your dashboard? Is it recognizable? Do some of you go “that’s abisalli/fee’s art” ?? does that happen??

yknow it is crazy to think about how much i have been able to improve my quality of life by selling art as a supplementary form of income. like obviously it's a second job and it's taxing but it's also so rewarding to know how much people enjoy my work and how much good it is doing me to like, feel like i can buy snacks at the store. to be able to get takeout every once in a while. like obviously those are extremely minor changes or things most people take for granted but to me it's huge. having berries in the house when they're out of season and more expensive. buying things for CONVENIENCE??! it feels so crazy to me to have such a sense of luxury which i know says more about the bleak feeling of poverty that's followed me around my entire adult life than anything else but i feel so much gratitude that i am afforded these small luxuries at least in part because of people that like my art. not to mention how nice is is to make things consistently again when, prior to 2020, i hadn't made art regularly in almost a decade. anyway. it's cool!

"A developed affinity certainly furthered the queen’s own political position, but the institutional ties between the king and the queen’s households enabled the queen to remain an important influence in the political arena. Furthermore, the extension of the queen’s influence and holdings did not solely benefit the queen. Rosemary Horrox has argued that Elizabeth Woodville’s networks and influence across East Anglia were so extensive that her dominance there was considered the main source of royal authority in the region. Moreover, Joanna Laynesmith has identified that when the queen was successful in administering her estates, she ultimately facilitated the king’s own administration in creating a vast spread of royal influence."
