WSJ notes that anything regarding fee structure is missing in action as well, adding that there's a pretty big disparity between what Etsy charges its sellers versus what Amazon does. For example, Amazon's cut of sales ranges from 12 percent to 45 percent per item, with a $1 minimum per item sold. Etsy, on the other hand, takes $0.20 for every item listed and 3.5 percent of the selling price. The trade-off for sellers would be a much higher potential for sales, but at a possibly lower profit. It's worth noting that these talks are all presumably very early and nothing is set in stone just yet. What's it mean for those of us who just want a super-cool Calvin and Hobbes stuffed Hobbes, though? Convenience and hopefully guaranteed shipping for the tiger. That's something I can get behind.
