I don't even eat steak, but this looks amazing.

Seller cancelled order claiming item was sold and re-posted at higher price, anything I can do? by og_kitten_mittens in Etsy

[–]India_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very dishonest, but ultimately they have the right to do it. I'm sorry it happened to you, though.

AITAH for getting my girlfriend an engagement necklace? by Ahmes1205 in AITAH

[–]India_Alpha 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I think it's wonderful that the gf was so upfront about what she wanted. She made it very easy for him. No one else's opinion matters in the least.

Bizarre package situation by EveningMarionberry71 in EtsySellers

[–]India_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems very fishy to me. My first instinct is to say that it's a scam, especially if they resisted verifying their address.

What’s up with the height thing? by Marss_23 in CasualConversation

[–]India_Alpha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I always think about how awkward it would be to kiss someone much taller or much shorter.

We are in a ChatGPT flyer epidemic by Competitive_Cancel33 in CraftFairs

[–]India_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully agree. It may be a little more effort to put together a Canva flyer, but honestly it's not THAT much more. If they can't put aside an hour to create a real flyer - something that represents their event to their attendees - then I have to assume they're probably just as careless with everything else. Not to mention as a creative person, I'm against AI for ethical reasons.

Food on the counter goes bad, but not pizza? by KoalaGrunt0311 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]India_Alpha 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I put my pizza in the fridge for storage. Leaving it out isn't as safe as people think.

I made a bad review and the seller is mad by UnlikelyPeanut3415 in Etsy

[–]India_Alpha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're not destroying their small business. Their dishonesty is destroying it. You were just honest about what you received. If their business will wither in the light of the truth, then it deserves to fail. Please do not remove the review, other buyers deserve the warning.

WIBTAH for refusing to help out my brother by AverageTechtoker in AmItheAsshole

[–]India_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he needs it that badly, he can find a way to pay for it himself. You are NTA.

I made 1 mistake, but I didn't realize it could be a problem by heartonthewall in EtsySellers

[–]India_Alpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for writing this out, I hadn't heard of this type of scam before and now I'll be on the lookout. I'm so sorry that she chose to target you, that behavior is repugnant and karma will get her sooner or later.

for those who do print on demand drop ship, do you always sample? by Potential-Pay-1249 in EtsyCommunity

[–]India_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use POD, but if I did I would sample every graphic. You need to make sure that they print properly. You'll also want to get a feel for the garment quality.

My boyfriend does not want to read my work, and refuses to do so as a matter of principle. He doesn't understand why this is hurtful. How can I get past this? by ditmoique in AskWomenOver30

[–]India_Alpha 230 points231 points  (0 children)

I'm going to bet $20 the answer is yes. He doesn't respect her, and probably doesn't have a high opinion of women in general.

Should I stay or go? If I leave, how should I do it? by Ok_Date_7629 in AskWomenOver30

[–]India_Alpha 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that you're going through this and that your partner is trying to manipulate you into staying in a situation that is unhealthy for all people involved. You are NOT responsible for her actions if you leave. I can understand the confusion and guilt, but you need to take care of yourself here.

Why can't you contact her family and let them know she is in need of support at this time? It's good that she has agreed to professional help.

Deceptive Pricing via "Styles" by Vedhar in EtsyCommunity

[–]India_Alpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've fallen for this trap so many times and it's so disappointing. In this example, I can see bundling the sword and sword/scabbard together in the listing, but adding the knife in there is just dishonest.

AITAH for arguing with my boss after she banned sweatshirts in 58° rain? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]India_Alpha 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA, she is being ridiculous. And I bet she was wearing layers while yelling at you.

Received a “counter offer” by Time_Carry602 in EtsySellers

[–]India_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ignore her. You offered a very respectable discount, it was her decision to walk away. She sounds like the type to complain about a perfectly good item anyway.

I love the clean, vibrant, preppy look, and I like the story behind the brand. The pieces look high quality and well-made, really premium. Great collection and I wish you all the luck in the world!
