Howdy all. I am starting a web store out of my garage on ETSY. I am fairly certain I cannot use this as a proper channel to advertise but I was wondering if anyone one this forum has tried something similar and might be able to point me in the right direction.

I've sold a very few things on etsy, and was horrified at the fees they charged, plus when you set up a listing there are boxes auto-checked, and if you go back & forth a few pages while creating listing, even if you UN-checked them, those boxes become checked again. I sold a rare HTF item for around $300 and only made about $200 after shipping and fees. More recently, while shopping on etsy, I made a purchase, then found the identical item elsewhere for about half the price...contacted seller immediately to resolve, and they chose to just cancel my order. I expected a direct refund to my credit card yet only received an etsy "gift card" meaning etsy kept my money and wants me to spend it only on their site. I'm about done with etsy!
