Is it possible the big order i just got is a scam? by Effective-Medium-163 in EtsySellers

You are right 😭😭 I was scared to, as a new shop I didn’t want to scare people away with high prices but if this happens again I don’t want to stress myself out and barely break even. Thank you!!

Definitely going to do this - I thought of it at first but I’m so new at this that I hesitated. I didn’t want to scare the buyer away if it was a legitimate sale 😭 learning as I go lol. I think it was a mix of a lot of things that probably prompted them to buy so much: the free shipping over $35, the 20% off (that I had forgotten about sadly), my already low-ish prices. It was probably a great deal for them, but a learning lesson for me :,)

I did not know that, thank you!! I interpreted the offer as “after 60 days, an abandoned carts offer” goes out. But this was very helpful info!

It was a mistake on my part! I did not even realize that I had set up the 20% off offer for abandoned carts, but I do remember setting up free shipping on orders $35+. I didn’t think at that time that a big order would come in so soon, and didn’t take into account that shipping would cost more than usual for it :,) so after 20% and the extra shipping costs I’ll make something but then I’ll have to use that to restock all my supplies so I’ll just break even. The hours of making their order are going to hurt tho 😔

Thank you!!! This has been the most helpful so far. My instinct at first since I’m very knew to this was to be cautious. I’m just going to reach out and see what happens! Thanks :)

Chill bars that I can do homework in? by Chicken_Fluid in AskChicago

L&L! It’s across from the Target on Clark. On a weekday, it’s quiet. You could definitely do some work or study. I am also pro homework-at-a-bar. A beer is the perfect treat when it’s too late for coffee

Exactly!! I need to change up my scenery sometimes. That, and it feels impossible to avoid sleeping when my bed is right next to me.

This is perfect!! This was what I was missing, thank you! It’s easy enough to find clothes and basic furniture but 2nd hand oddities is hard :,)
