As @greenssales mentioned, this is eBay not Etsy. Just because something occurred on one site doesn't mean the same thing needs to happen on another site.
And from what you're describing, it sounds like the sellers on Etsy weren't vocal enough.
Everyone here should make their voices heard through as many channels as they can. I encourage everyone to join the webinar tomorrow and flood the chat/Q&A with questions about these Expedited Lite changes until it is acknowledged.
eBay regularly acknowledges us sellers here on the forums, in official communication channels such as email (I've personally spoken to Luke several times), at eBay Open, and in zoom meetings (one of which is scheduled for tomorrow, as mentioned, and three more are scheduled throughout December). Is Etsy having Zoom meetings with their Canadian userbase? I don't think so.
Sorry you've had a poor experience with the communication from the powers-that-be at Etsy, but no one should be led to believe that they should "settle" for zero explanation just because that's what sellers on another site have become accustomed to. You are not currently a seller on this platform, so these issues don't affect you as much as they do to others (especially those of us that sell small/light collectibles).
