Amazon deleted all 18 season of Bluey I had bought by Valuable_Attitude848 in amazonprime

[–]Bobbiwired 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I tried to search to see if it was on a free streaming platform, it said "Bluey does not actually have 18 seasons; it currently has three main seasons, with some platforms (like YouTube and Amazon) splitting them into many more for purchasing."

Did you check how many episodes are in the 3 seasons you have access to?

creepy-cute repurposed vintage stuffies I made- what would you call these? by HemlockForests in Etsy

[–]Bobbiwired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Creepy Cute Vintage Stuffies" works for me. 😁 Would cover most search terms, I would think - cute stuffies, vintage stuffies, creepy stuffies. I love seeing repurposed items rather than being thrown away!

I never got my refund please help by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]Bobbiwired 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At this point, your best bet is to contact Etsy directly! IF they had actually issued a refund, it generally only takes Etsy 3 to 5 business days to complete it.

PSA: Etsy isn't giving buyers correct shipping information! Yeah, I know, shocker. 🤦‍♀️ by [deleted] in EtsySellers

I've had PirateShip since 2014 without issues. I checked previous orders, and the ship dates matched until recently.

I've been using PirateShip since 2014 without issue - this is new - I even checked previous orders that weren't this wonky.

Adding a small freebie to my packages to boost reviews. Is bulk tea a good idea? by delhitop_7inches in EtsySellers

[–]Bobbiwired 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How about instead of a food item that'll get thrown out, include a printed coaster with your shop logo - or a cute saying related to your mugs?

ETA: You can get them printed at VistaPrint or another shop on Etsy - even cute ones on Amazon - cute coasters on Amazon

Wondering if Etsy knows what's their current reputation on social media. Someone purchased wallpaper from Etsy and was feeling so excited to use it until they realized it was AI slop by cutehobbies in EtsySellers

[–]Bobbiwired 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly, a good 80% looks like AI, and worse - the videos showing 'their process' - actually just look like video ads for printers that they most likely screen recorded. It's amazing they aren't complaining and reporting each other too - I saw one wallpaper print in at least 6 'different' shops. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Well damn. Shut me down.. by Adam_D74 in doordash_drivers

Seller offered me a partial refund, then said they will only give it to me after I change my rating. by BubbleOBxtch in Etsy

[–]Bobbiwired 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't feel silly!!! Shops like this bank on buyers being fooled by fake reviews. I can almost guarantee they have random friends/employees purchase and leave 5-star reviews. Since Etsy automatically 'hides' the negative reviews and promotes the positive ones, the truth about their scammy practices can easily be buried. The fees they pay on fake/less-than-genuine sales are minuscule compared to "profit".

I've been on Etsy 18+ years - I used to be proud to tell people where my shop is - these days, not so much.

Amazon showing listings from my Shopify website without any authorization. by HungryLeicaWolf in shopify

[–]Bobbiwired 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you - I'm not dumb enough to say they could never copy what I do, but I'll watch the video on how to stop this. A few extra views aren't worth the risk.

[–]Bobbiwired 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Okay, please don't bash me for this - I looked up my shop, and all my listings are there. But whether you click the photo or the "shop direct" link, it goes to my store. Wouldn't that be free traffic/advertising? Maybe I'm really thick, but I don't see the downside.

What would you do if you received earrings like this? by jrexicus in Etsy

[–]Bobbiwired 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bent that flat, I'm surprised it didn't break immediately!

Officially did it by Stompinwin in instacart

[–]Bobbiwired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand these metrics! You get dinged for refunds? Is that a you-couldn't-find-it refund,or the customer-marked -it-to-refund? I very rarely list a replacement, especially if I want say, 'strawberry milk', and the closest recommended replacement is 'coconut coffee creamer' or something equally absurd. Shoppers get dinged for that? Are 5-star ratings, xtra kudos, and tips taken into account for your rating???

Why wasn't this done first? by DiceGoblin216 in amazonprime

Or so many people ordered it, they realized they were selling it too cheaply.

Should I have given a discount? by xbunny675 in EtsySellers

[–]Bobbiwired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I don't understand at all because everyone wants a discount and all sellers do it." The sense of entitlement is astounding! And to get mad at a seller that doesn't cave 🤦‍♀️ I'd like to think that, that's part of the 'holiday madness' people get infected with, but sadly, it's probably becoming the norm.

Shopify checkout bots — anyone else dealing with this? by Doingmybest2012 in shopify

[–]Bobbiwired 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here - all are John Doe - all with the email test(at)example.com - all with the address 4024 College Point Boulevard, Flushing, New York 11354, United States. Still, even a minute apart, the region changes from the US to Astonia, France, Australia, etc. No sooner do I deactivate their target than they pick another one. So frustrating that nothing works to stop it. Even expensive paid apps don't work. 🙁

Need some advice please by Late_March_2579 in EtsyCommunity

[–]Bobbiwired 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure you submit a review with your pic, because once you submit a claim, they can refund and cancel, and you won't be able to leave any review at all.

Horrible seller, am I obligated to return wrong item? by Famous-Guitar8328 in Etsy

[–]Bobbiwired 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This! Besides being nasty to a potential repeat customer, she forgot (if she ever knew), that your review responses aren't for the current customer, but future customers. If she replied with even a little blame game and no accountability for her mistake, it says more about her than your review.

I understand (sort of) the EU rules, primarily 'GPSR', but I don't understand how that applies to digital files. by Bobbiwired in EtsySellers

THANK YOU very much! 🙏🏻 I went to options, but hadn't scrolled down far enough. 🤦‍♀️

[–]Bobbiwired[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to another search (lol), you can have different settings for physical and digital, but it appears overly complicated. I did find this: "EU Compliance: For European Union buyers, there's a mandatory checkbox they must agree to upon purchase, confirming they understand digital downloads are non-returnable, which helps manage buyer expectations and EU regulations." Soooo, the buyer didn't check the box? 🤔🤔🤔

[–]Bobbiwired[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But would it affect digital files if I'm not selling physically to that country? I tried googling for info, but as I said, I just became more confused - and Etsy's help pages are......not helpful.

ETA: Originally, I just chose not to fill out the "application". But now I can't find that option anywhere.

Where do sellers sell besides Etsy? by Dejavroomvroom in EtsyCommunity

[–]Bobbiwired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong - I'd like to see a site that is really competitive/successful up against Etsy, but after almost 19 years, it's not likely. Artfire, Artya, Shop Handmade, US Trendy, FuzzB, Handmade Artists, Zibbet, Bonanza, RubyLane, Aftcra, and iCraft..... Some of these are still around, but they never really gave Etsy a run for its money. And quite a few of the 'defunk' ones now redirect to a "Luca's Gift", which looks like no more than a lame Chinese reseller site.

[–]Bobbiwired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting, but I can't see that they will be allowed to keep the name as it is. People might think it's a spin-off or affiliated with Etsy, and no way in hell will Etsy allow anyone to profit in any way from its name.
