This is quite a loss for small crafters and those who appreciate them. There was a nice collection of reasonably priced hand-made floggers creators. I don't have any direct evidence, but I am almost positive this is a credit card processing issue.

However, Etsy has become a cesspool of dropship schemes, not just with sex toys but in general. I just spent some time on Alibaba and found quite a few things on Etsy I had my eye on for a fraction of the cost. Are they the same items? I guess I will find out.
