Before jumping to the conclusion that you can't change something you don't like, some research may be in order. This annoyance is something you have always had complete control over. Sometimes we just need to ask questions when we don't understand or do some research and exploration of our options to resolve a matter.
Go to your Site Preferences, then choose Communication Preferences on the left. Rather simple to find.
Once you are in Manage Communications, drop down to the Seller options.
About a quarter of the way down that list you will find where you can turn these emails off.
You may want to look around your options under communications to see if there is anything else you might want to turn off or on.

I wish I could disable them ALL - irritating nonsense like this is probably why even etsy passed ebay in market cap. And ebay, please stop charging sales tax on items that are EXEMPT, like coins in many states.
If anyone has any tips on how to reduce or eliminate these unwanted e-mails, please enlighten me!
Communications that are controlled via Site preferences that you have control over are highly unlikely to have anything to do with the amount of sales you have on one site or another.
As to sales tax on coins. Take that up with the sellers, not Ebay. It is likely that the sellers are posting their coins in the WRONG category. Sales tax from Marketplaces are driven by categories, not the title or description of the item.
I also don't know what you are looking at for market shares.
Just a couple of graphs above that I found pretty easily. I don't see where Etsy is moving above Ebay. Where did you find your information?? I would be very interested to read more.

Yes you can. See my post # 4 on this thread for details.

I have not found a way to turn off the email for "Your Label Is Ready". This is the only box I have found that looks like it would turn it off, but it doesn't. Do you have another suggestion for a box to change to "None"?
IDK, it use to work. If they have changed that, my apologies, I was unaware of that. It says you can still change it. I'll test it tomorrow. Shipping today is done. Thank you.

A few years ago someone (probably you) told me how to turn it off. I haven't had to think about it for a few years until the last few weeks it started up again all by itself.
You're so smart. Can you cook too? 😉
I hold my own in the kitchen but certainly no chef. However no one goes hungry at my house!! LOL
You are always good for a laugh, thank you. 😉
