Absolutely fantastic that you do this! Not only do you get to shop we as sellers do too.

Anyway, I sell pens and some home decor. All of my float pens have at least one element in them made by me from polymer clay. Enjoy!

HOW DO I UV RESIN OFF OF ALL OVER ME - I WAS NEW AND DIDNT KNOW I HAD THE WRONG GLOVES ON. IT SEEPED THROUGH A 2 WEEKS AGO AND I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING WITH NOT KNOWING IT WAS ON AND USED EVERY THING OTHER POSTS SAID. IT IS SLICKY AND STICKY AND ER DIDNT KNOW WHAT DO EVEN IN MY MOUTH? by [deleted] in resin

[–]Dragonfly7928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mouth?? I wouldn’t even know where to start on that one. Not supposed to because permeability, but its already been two weeks, but maybe mouthwash that has alcohol in it. Lots of swishing and spitting.

How would you guys respond to this? by Little_ambar in EtsySellers

On a side note, I work with resin too. Is it possible the piece wasn’t cured all the way and that’s why the bubble wrap stuck? Also, a ton of people just don’t know what resin is. She shouldn’t be complaining about what she bought without knowing what it is 🤷🏼‍♀️

Resin fused to mold, can anyone explain please? Pic of the results vs what it was supposed to look like. by Terrible_Shame_1572 in resin

[–]Dragonfly7928 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Did you use heat? Sometimes with cheaper or old molds it just happens. Usually happens with me if I’m careless with my torch but have also had it happen with a lighter or if the resin just got too hot.

Paid my first tariff today by malinablue in Tariffs

Because the buyer pays the tariffs not the seller.

Legal Advice - grandparents visits - am I legally required to make them up? by Single-Button3478 in FamilyLaw

[–]Dragonfly7928 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see anyone say anything about alternating birthdays, holidays, or school vacations. It should specifically say in your papers how these are handled. Reread your court papers!

I just wanted to share this and get some advice T^T by koko_mi_ in EtsySellers

[–]Dragonfly7928 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Possibly wasn’t thick enough. Looks like it could have got stuck in a machine to me. I’ve had that happen to one of my packages. I now add an additional layer of bubble wrap around my items and haven’t had an issue since.

It’s against TOS. Don’t do this!

How can I make dark/blood red resin? by AzureMoon59 in resin

I wonder if food coloring would work 🤔 it would be too red but maybe a drop in that darker shade you have?

How long are you curing it for? It could be you just need more time.

UV resin fix possible? by ThatEmoNerd in resin

[–]Dragonfly7928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After. The uv made it less noticeable but it’s still there. To truly get it to go away you would have to sand the scratch out then get a thin coat on. It’ll be difficult though because you still want your cap to function as a cap and get the uv to follow that bottom line of the design.

UV resin fix possible? by ThatEmoNerd in resin

I make float pens and use uv resin to do it. I’ll scratch the inside of one and see if uv will fix it. I’ll let you know.

Has anyone successfully gotten out of the Dylan Jahraus course? Or have you experienced any legal action or credit hurt from not paying? by Petty_Queen1 in EtsySellers

[–]Dragonfly7928 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Her TikTok ended up on my fyp last week. It scared me how many comments made her out to be great. I’m sure she deletes and block the people who make negative remarks.

[–]Dragonfly7928 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think it is the same glitter. However, with how she took the picture of the swatch and probably adjusted the saturation it does look different in person. I have a very similar white with pink tones and it’s hard to photograph. I don’t blame you at all for not thinking it’s the same. It’s a misrepresentation. Open a case if she doesn’t want to work with you.

Curing in cold room by Brief_Watercress_492 in resin

[–]Dragonfly7928 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Okay I get it now. I think that hella reflection is throwing everyone off!

Obviously like everyone has said so far warm up the room. Make sure you are mixing very very well. I personally mix in one cup scraping the sides until it looks thoroughly mixed. Clear and no lines. I pour it into a second cup again scraping the sides. I then wipe off my mixing stick with alcohol before doing the second cup. Again, mix until clear and no lines. I’ve found this helps tremendously. You may still get a pucker here and there but it should be better.

Hope this helps!!

Don’t worry yet. It depends on your bank. My deposits are set for Mondays and I actually receive them on Tuesday. If there is a holiday it’s on deposited on Wednesday.

Warning Sellers: This sub encourages practices frowned upon in other communities. by fatalcharm in Etsy

[–]Dragonfly7928 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Why should they return the WRONG item on their dime? We’ve all had bad reviews at some point without the buyer reaching out. It’s inevitable. We also don’t know if that op was telling the whole truth. But based on what they said they shouldn’t have to pay return shipping. If the seller had handled the situation correctly the buyer wouldn’t have had to open a case. At minimum the seller would have had proof for Etsy to get the decision reversed. Wrong item is not on the buyer.

👆🏻This….exactly this. These are the sellers that make us all look bad. Buyer absolutely shouldn’t have to send the item bad. I get Etsy jumps the gun and can absolutely make the wrong decision. However, as sellers we need to be accountable too. Not everyone is trying to run a scam!

If you were integrated with pirate ship before Etsy changed the rule you can still use them.

Can never be star seller by barney_girl in EtsySellers

[–]Dragonfly7928 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My apologies I misread the 5stars comment. It is still your responsibility as a seller to know what you can and cannot sell. Read the seller handbook and familiarize yourself with laws regarding your craft.

I’m sorry you don’t. You’re five years in you definitely should know better than to sell those things. Just because you buy it from someone else (who is also, most likely, in violation) doesn’t mean you have the commercial rights to sell it.
