The rating of the app workers use — never the customer app. Each store is its own witness; we show both and never average them. The count is what makes a score mean something. Click a listing to see the number as it stands today.

resource-package-v7.md Part 1: their own sell page — create or sign in to an Etsy account, then open a shop
How you get paid read from the company's own page
debt-paydown (owner arc 2026-08-26): their own seller page, fetched 2026-08-26: 'When you sell an item, there's a small commission and standard payment processing fee'
Local operating status derived from our own coverage research, not from the company's words
mktcle-reclass (owner ruling 2026-08-26): STRUCTURALLY UNSOURCEABLE from provider property — companies do not state their metro lists, so no re-fetch can ever pay this claim. Reclassified out of the owed pile into the declared class: derived from our own coverage research, not from the company's words.

Taking new people read from the company's own page
debt-paydown (owner arc 2026-08-26): their own page, fetched this arc, carries an open application flow — the open door is the source's own word for taking people
Vehicle class read from the company's own page
category-vehicle-cascade (owner ruling 2026-08-25): CATEGORY DEFINITION — reselling what you own is listing and shipping — by definition, no vehicle is required to participate. Encoded at the category level by owner ruling; the record's own page remains the authority for everything else it states.
Vehicle needed read from the company's own page
vehicle-model-phase2 (owner arc 2026-08-25): restates this record's category-definition vehicle encode under the five-state model — the work is remote, listing-and-shipping, or hosting your own asset; no transport is part of doing it (the vehicle_tier claim remains the underlying source)
What it is read from the company's own page
debt-tranche2 (owner arc 2026-08-26): identity restated on their seller pages: handmade/vintage buyer-demand marketplace (fetched 2026-08-26)
What workers rate the app reported by someone else — not the company's words
Apple App Store listing for "Etsy Seller: Manage Your Shop" and Google Play listing for "Etsy Seller: Manage Your Shop" — the store is the witness, not the company; checked 2026-09-02
What you need unproven — carried from an older research method and not yet re-read from a source
Inherited at the v8 migration from the record's evidence class (Verified-official). This claim does not yet say where IT came from; the record does.
Worker costs read from the company's own page
debt-paydown (owner arc 2026-08-26): the record's provider-cited cost detail carries the current story this field pointed at — re-sourced against that evidence (see worker_costs_detail)
Worker costs, in detail read from the company's own page
debt-tranche2 (owner arc 2026-08-26): their own fees page, fetched 2026-08-26: 'There are three basic selling fees: a listing fee, a transaction fee, and a payment processing fee' and 'List your first item for just $0.20' — the fee structure and figure both theirs
