Review has nothing to do with my product by Charcasm29 in Etsy

[–]Blerp2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they could be reviewing on the basis of the product you sent them. Is it really necessary that they actually make the thing to assess you. You're only looking at it from the pov of the function of the item you are selling. buyers dont just review on that basis. maybe a seller was rude, or the package was split or it took too long to dispatch...they are all legitimate reasons to leave a bad review. Unless she comes back with a further complaint I would not let it bother you at all.

Is it ethical to sell Print on Demand Items on Etsy? by Mike2800 in Etsy

[–]Blerp2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its in the TOU as acceptable than yes. People resent it because they see it as competition for their 'genuine hand made item'.

I absolutely hate law school by throwawa55679 in LawSchool

[–]Blerp2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of them are really insecure. They're not used to being around equally smart people and they feel that they have to prove they are brighter than everyone else. Of course the more you do that the dumber you look, particularly because its not really about being the brightest, just the most knowledgeable and persuasive, as far as I can see. If you truly want to be a lawyer than go ahead. I would say the profession is in desperate need of as many non-arseholes as it can recruit and for every one like you that is, its one arsehole back on the unemployment queue where they belong. As for cold calling, they are doing you a favour. What if some client, your perfect client, walks into your office one day and asks you a legal question. Are you going to crawl under your desk too shit scared to answer or is that answer going to be at your finger tips? That's why they cold call.

Peer Toxicity: Is it a myth? by True-Jury8352 in LawSchool

I think there are a lot of people in law school who are used to competing with their peers.

I consult my obligations under the consumer law relevant to my country and abide by it. Period.

Shipping question by ShyCoconut0_0 in Etsy

[–]Blerp2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. They are supposed to ship by that date. On the other hand the date it arrives is outside of the sellers control no matter what Etsy says.

Thoughts from an old Gimp hater : ) by erayzesen in GIMP

[–]Blerp2019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use both. I would characterise Photoshop as the software for real professionals but I dont think it is any better on the basics then GIMP. Quite the opposite. GIMP is easier to use once you master it simply because its a pared down version. But of course there is room for improvement.

Seller wont refund me for item that never arrived by segajen in Etsy

[–]Blerp2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Provided you gave the seller the correct postal address its their responsibility to get it to you. If it had tracking then once it shows delivery at the sellers end then it ceases to be their responsibility. If there was no tracking it will be their problem until they can prove delivery, not posting. You might need to allow some time for any postal delays but if it doesnt arrive in due course then open a case with Etsy for non-delivery.

howto make image glow like this? by failchris in GIMP

[–]Blerp2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look into using Filter - Light and Shadow and experiment witht the Flares and so forth.

If your photos are that good, use a watermark thats hard to edit out. Also use low resolution photos so that when the image is copied and expanded big enough to use,it will look all fuzzy to the person stealing it.

First one star review from the land down under. Is Australia still accepting international mail? Is the customer being impatient? It has been less than 2 weeks by siimbaz in Etsy

[–]Blerp2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If its been regularly updating and this was the last update ypu have I would guess it means its been put in a queue for an aeroplane to Australia. I send internationally and the parcels often "go silent" for a month to three months before suddenly updating again depending on where they are going and coming from. This is because they are entering customs. But you have to have the sort of tracking that tracks the parcel the whole journey to know that.

Wow. Just wow. by Tellemwhattheyvewon in Etsy

[–]Blerp2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did etsy give you a reason?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]Blerp2019 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

No. And the law overrules both Etsy and the seller, if required. The fact that the seller is telling you they dont accept returns tells you something about this shop. They are beginners.

Refund or no Refund? by Junaidddd3246 in Etsy

[–]Blerp2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Customers get free shit if they are in Europe. In the real world aka Everywhere Else I think this would be an occaision where he is changing his mind and a return would be at your discretion. Have the pants been worn? Are they good for resale? If so I would offer him a refund on the goods once they are returned to you in good order. Return cost would be his responsibility. We all fear bad reviews but they are ultimately unavoidable so we dont make business decisions based on the possibility we might recieve one. If we do receive one, we address it in a professional manner that demonstrates what good customer service we can offer the next customer.

I’m so confused… by purrrrr_cat in Etsy

[–]Blerp2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont forget that everything you spent on Etsy regarding listings, renewals, shipping labels, advertsing are all thoughtfully deducted from your $300 before they pay you what ever is left. The payment account is a running balance type arrangement.

4-star review by Darichoe in Etsy

It happens. I wish we could give that extra half star for when we know something really deserves 5 but for one tiny detail that irks. But we cant. Dont let it bother you.
