First Post!

I finally got my blog up so here is my first post, yay! I'll just go with what's been on my mind the most lately and that would be the new guidelines on Etsy as well as the metaphysical crackdown that's happening on eBay. While I can understand their concern about making medical claims I am extremely disappointed in the way they have chosen to handle (or not handle) the situation. Many of us are still left in the dark as to what we can and cannot say in our listings, tags and descriptions. Meanwhile there are still tons of folks who haven't even heard of the new rules yet! This has all left a bitter taste in my mouth and I am now at the point where I am left trying to decide whether to sell on another venue and hope that they do not follow suit or make a gamble and try to sell on my website (www.hallowsofiaspagangoods.com).
