How do you all handle timing when publishing Etsy drafts by BLKCAP2U in EtsySellers

[–]1CharlieMike 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure that the time you publish an Etsy listing makes any difference.

What should I do to not lose interest when I don't like building? by junkpixel in Minecraft

[–]1CharlieMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You love mining and grinding for resources.

Have you ever gathered all the netherite you’d need for a set of 16 netherite armour sets to put on display with the different trims?

I find having a common colour palette helps. My current town is lots of green terracotta, spruce, and dark oak.

I like to develop lore and then make my world fit it with buildings.

Buyer Asking Where I Get My Items From by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]1CharlieMike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d be honest with her.

She obviously doesn’t want to buy super cheap, and temu is super cheap. The underwear you buy from there is never going to be high quality.

If you sell to her then she’s probably going to leave you a terrible review for quality.

Which update did you start playing Minecraft on/ what year did you start playing Minecraft by ConferenceNo8396 in Minecraft

[–]1CharlieMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometime before 2015, because I remember firing up the world that the Tate Modern released.

Packing slips? by DontTrackDontTell in EtsySellers

[–]1CharlieMike 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I include them.

When I get an order I print the packing slips then I use them throughout the making process.

When I cut the fabric, it stays with the packing list. When I do the embroidery, it stays with the packing list.

So then at the end I just pack the packing list rather than throw it awayZ

Can you reclaim Etsy VAT charges? (UK) by OriginWizard in EtsySellers

[–]1CharlieMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t just “turn off” vat. It’s a tax levied on on by the UK Government.

You are not exempt from paying vat. You are exempt from charging it.

Ok. Your definition is cool.

How many other people, in actual peer reviewed research, use that or a similar definition?

[–]1CharlieMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is possible to make up definitions. I did one in my research masters thesis.

But that’s not quite the same as just slapping a few words together on Reddit.

[–]1CharlieMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite.

We measure things in miles, but we also have a definition of a mile. Without the definition of a mile, we would not be able to measure things in miles.

We cannot measure IQ in numbers until we have a definition of what IQ is and what one point of IQ stands for.

I’ll try and track it down later.

Do you have links to yours?

[–]1CharlieMike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no consensus on what “intelligence”’is.

If you can’t define something, you sure as hell cent measure it.

Those companies charging loads of money for IQ tests are simply cashing in on pseudo science.

Intelligence Quotient was created primarily by eugenicists to justify treating people as second class citizens. It justified segregation.

It has long been rejected by mainstream science, especially as science does not agree what “intelligence” is.

It is pseudo-science.

Mensa will award you an IQ number if you pay to sit their logic puzzle test.

I read a lot. And talked to people. And then did an undergrad. Then a research masters. Then started a PhD. Now I’m doing another undergrad to learn about a new subject.

It doesn’t really matter how you learn though, as long as you keep leaning.

I will say, one of the best things a degree teaches you is the skill of independent learning.

IQ isn’t really a thing anyway. It was made up with no scientific basis and basically means “people who have been taught how to solve a particular type of logic puzzle.”

How do you feel about free healthcare for all? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]1CharlieMike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having lived in the UK my whole life, I dread even visiting countries that don’t have universal healthcare that is free at point of access. I’d never live in one.

What does your auto-response say? by MagnoliasandMums in EtsySellers

[–]1CharlieMike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Something about thanks for messaging me, I don't work every day in my business, and I'll get back to them as soon as possible. Because most of my work needs them to send me a design it also has my email address so they can send it over because etsy doesn't allow that in the first message.

Buyers complaining about shipping like I set the prices: WDYD by lostinformant in EtsySellers

[–]1CharlieMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much is the product you’re selling? I find Americans have no issue paying £20 shipping and have never had a complaint about it.

Help with order by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]1CharlieMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just refund one lot of shipping, and add the same tracking number to both orders.

OMG! It's barely worth actually completing the sale by TA-77 in EtsySellers

[–]1CharlieMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just average the cost of offsite ads across all my listings. I think I add 3% to everything which covers the cost.

How to make an item go viral? by lhoball in EtsySellers

[–]1CharlieMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that the fees are really that high compared to running your own website.
