It is an interesting time for them to make the change considering what is happening in the world today i.e. the state of the economy, the high number of job losses etc. Many crafters are using their crafting talents to supplement their income. Is there really no way Artfire can't offer some sort of free account? Perhaps limit the number of items that can be listed and require a certain number of check-ins for crafters or their shop will be deactivated. This way it will help eliminate abandoned shops. It just seems that there could be some sort of compromise instead of leaving so many loyal crafters out in the cold. Thank you Cassie for your comment.

I love the interface so I put up quite a few of my patterns and handmade items. I used to be a big seller on eBay, but can't stand that place anymore, so I was looking for a new home base. What a waste of time. I guess I will try Etsy although I don't like it over there. Ioffer is also a real pain so that place is out, and eCrater is as big a loser as Artfire, so woe is me. Sorry, but Artfire is making a big mistake, in my opinion. I had a pro account for exactly one month and realized that it wasn’t going to pay for itself and I downgraded.
