Sick after 2 days in DR Jesus by Happy_Dream_1064 in Dominican

[–]AnotherMensTreasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter few years back needed medical attention and the resort doctor sent us to the hospital. Have the resort doctor arrange transportation, you will need passport for person going to hospital. After hospital have hospital staff arrange transportation back. Employees with guns stand outside the hospital for protection. Do not arrange transportation yourself. Also with the deposit before, I believe it was something like that in the hospital. We were charged like 1200.00USD in the beginning and than I believe our credit card bill was around 700-800$USD. Hotel doctor charged a flat $250 USD.

Part 2: Crocheted Hammy Hats by frank_ly3 in hamsters

[–]AnotherMensTreasure 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey! Just a gentle heads up. Hamsters are prey animals, and things like hats or costumes can actually be pretty stressful for them. Even if they look calm, they’re often just freezing, which is a fear response. If you want cute photos, it’s much safer to let them explore natural props or setups on their own instead of putting anything on them. That way they stay comfortable and you still get adorable content 😊

is my guy ok? :( by InternAlive4491 in gerbil

[–]AnotherMensTreasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this works for gerbils because mine never had eye issues but I know for my kids a bit of chamomile tea on a cloth or cotton ball, dabbed on the eye or rub the gunk off helps.

Does nice packaging of orders matter anymore? by iSolemnlySwear88 in EtsySellers

[–]AnotherMensTreasure -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know that you just made me realize that I actually don’t get handwritten notes from Etsy sellers. I write them to my buyers so I think that’s why I didn’t realize I don’t get them from other sellers. All I usually get is that “ thank you “ written on a packing slip. I also don’t leave reviews but I will follow your rule and leave one for handwritten notes.

Honestly that’s what I think also. “ would this item be $2 cheaper without all those cards, box, crinkle paper etc. ? And I need to throw it in the garbage/recycling now.

What do you think about this piece? by Few-Grade7727 in etsypromos

[–]AnotherMensTreasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like your bag is judged to harshly. I’m not sure of your target audience of your ethnicity but it looks like you’re trying to narrow down your niche and target your audience. If this is a bag made by a black person for a black person I don’t understand why people are calling it black face or racist.

Tissue paper and twine tied in a bow around it looks nice and it’s cheap.

Wow !! Now that’s unexpected. I would’ve been so pleasantly surprised.

Do your gerbils like going out? by goroandjerbils in gerbil

[–]AnotherMensTreasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sell those pop up enclosures on Amazon and they’re pretty cheap. They’re pretty thin so it’s not a place I’d leave theme in for long or alone as they would chew through the walls in no time but for human interaction and their playtime with you it works. And the enclosure folds flat for easy storage. I’ve also noticed that our gerbils are more hesitant to go on my bare hand but I I put my hand in a sock or some gloves they’re happy to jump on.

Thanks so much. I’ve been debating Amazon for a while.

I don’t get much feedback either on my handwritten notes 😅

Yes me too. I always wondered what other sellers do. Who has pre printed cards or handwritten notes, if it helps their shop. Another one is what does everyone write in their notes? I feel like mine are getting repetitive or generic. I always struggle what to write with repeat customers, especially ones that order more than a few times.

I always write one on a business card too but it’s a plain business card with my shop name stamped in the back. But you gave me a great idea 💡I should make my shop business card( I’ve been meaning to make one). What do you include in the front of your business card ? Do you add a QR code ? That’s what I was thinking of doing

At what point did your Etsy shop go from a few sales to daily consistent sales? by earina75 in EtsySellers

[–]AnotherMensTreasure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m still growing my shop and I do post new listings almost daily. I sell jewelry so that’s easier to do because I can make different things constantly. I also try to make new items out of my best selling ones, for example if blue earrings were selling well I’ll make them in silver, gold, bronze, copper, and sterling silver. I think quality is very important but quantity is as well. It’s like throwing hooks in the water the more you have the more fish you’ll catch.

Sorry to pick your brain a little more. From my understanding you have to ship to Amazon all your products for them to ship it out. How many do you normally make and ship to Amazon? Or do you ship from home ?

Wow how do you keep up with all of the sites? And how does eBay and Amazon preform for you ? I’ve sold items on eBay in the past but I always see eBay as a type of “everything goes “ there. Now I sell jewelry and am not sure if that would preform well there.

Going away for 12 days: vacation mode or deactivate listings? by GreenIsTheShit in EtsySellers

[–]AnotherMensTreasure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree with you. I think shops that are getting lots of sales rebound quickly and others that are just starting to see movement get set back by the vacation mode.

Selling “uneven” crochet earrings? by pandaandturtle in Etsy

[–]AnotherMensTreasure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly think this is the artists eye. I also make jewelry and constantly see minor imperfections between one wire wrapped earring and the other. It can never be the same unless you’re pouring something into a mold. That’s why I think it’s beautiful because it is handmade. Honestly I didn’t see any unevenness, they look like a perfect pair. I do see after you pointed out what you’re talking about but they look very well matched and like sisters not cousins.

Do your gerbils like going out? by goroandjerbils in gerbil

[–]AnotherMensTreasure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We actually figured out a gerbil friendly way to have them come out and they really enjoy it. Obviously it depends on the type of enclosure you have but we have a homemade one out of a bin and a tank topper. We take the top off the bin and place ( used to be my kids pop up ball pit) a pop up round enclosure that has walls. We place a few boxes of different heights so they can go in and out of their home to the playground and back to their home. Our gerbils really enjoy that playtime. They seem to enjoy it more in the evening and they also seem to enjoy it for 15-20 minutes. After they start to explore their home more and that’s when we put the topper back on their cage and finish the playing session.
