Says who? It's possible that the sellers have goals other than profit maximization. Maybe they're happier simply providing as much supply as they are able at a price that feels fair.

The market?

Every other marketplace charges 10-15% - Etsy has been a bargain for years. Even eBay will cost a seller more than Etsy, and no one's complaining about that.
