C.<p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Etsy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Etsy</span></a>:</p><p>1. They blocked my account, insisting I add my "taxpayer ID" to my account.<br>2. I don't have a problem with that, *but* when you do so, Etsy stops collecting and remitting Canada's <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/GST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GST</span></a> and/or <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/HST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HST</span></a> from buyers. It's now Your Problem. However...<br>3. They do not provide a way to let sellers add the taxes to their prices/transactions. You just have to take it out of your item price. Which means...<br>4. Because <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/tax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tax</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/rates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rates</span></a> vary across Canada, from 5% to 15%, you would have to set your price differently in each <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/province" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>province</span></a> or <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/territory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>territory</span></a> to account for it. But ...<br>5. Etsy does not provide a way to do that. So ...<br>6. You have to add 15% to your prices, charge everyone that, and then back-calculate the "real" item price differently for each province and territory, for every sale. Which is bad enough, but ...<br>7. Etsy does keep collecting the *<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/PST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PST</span></a>* from buyers in 3 of the provinces. So it effectively charges PST on the GST/HST you've included in the prices. Back-calculating from *that* is more painful. And you're lying about the amount of tax paid on the receipts Etsy generates, which is a *<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crime</span></a>*.</p><p>TL;DR: Etsy makes sales impossibly difficult, and makes you complicit in a crime while doing so. Fun.</p><p>2/x</p>
