is time collapsing?

“My grandmother saw a lot of change during her lifetime. We're seeing as much, and more, change in a much shorter period of time...like time is collapsing. Not that it is. Things seem sped up because we/humans make them happen much more quickly, and the internet is a large part of making this happen. It narrows the distance between things and that shortens time. Again, not that it does. It seems to. Go out into nature for a weekend without any digital devices and see that nature still has her own pace.”

Etsy is making changes* that affect all etsy sellers, and buyers. Change is inevitable with growth. (* etsy's increase in seller fees from 3.5% to 5%, including that 5% fee on shipping too,  affects every etsy account.) Not to worry...ebay has been doing this for years. It's done to avoid seller fee avoidance, by listing an item below value and then "padding" the shipping to make up the difference.

In view of these fee increases I did need to add 10% to all of my etsy shop items. It's simply one of the realities of life.
