Thousands of Etsy sellers are going on strike in protest against the increase in fees that the American e-commerce company is charging for those who use its platform.

Earlier this year, Etsy’s CEO Josh Silverman announced that starting April 11 the company would increase the 5 percent transaction fee for sellers that has been in place since 2018 to 6.5 percent.
