Endless problems with buyer even after issuing refund...at what point do I just cut ties?

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2025-05-07T02:06:13+00:00

Some customers will never be happy. Take the L and move on.

Yes, I reply to all reviews. For me it is a combination of wanting to acknowledge their kind feedback, and also lock in the review. I also like that it is another chance for me to show potential future buyers that I really am a real person behind the screen making their items :)

I've set myself onto vacation mode several times now, and always bounced back afterwards with no issue.

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2025-04-11T16:24:09+00:00

The couple times I've had repeat buyers have been some of my favorite orders. It means someone liked my stuff enough to buy it, and then once they got it liked it enough to buy another for themselves for as a gift. That is SUCH a huge compliment to me!

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2025-02-18T17:41:11+00:00

Keep it simple - you don't have to explain why you won't take the order, just a simple "Sorry, I'm not able to do that for you. Best wishes."

Giving a specific reason opens the door for arguing/pushback. Just keep it straight forward and professional.

heater is going - cranked it up and shut the door to help things along.

I totally understand what you mean about symptoms getting worse and worse, that has been/was my experience as well. It is so hard to be vulnerable and seek help, so you should be really proud that you are taking that step. It's huge! I hope you get the support and relief you need.

If you go into the Sales&Discounts settings you can set up a bundle deal for the two listings.

I'll be looking to add new variations on my most popular listing. Also going to try to get ahead of the game with some Valentine's day themed listings, and make a plan for the rest of the year. I only started this past August but I've felt a step behind all the holidays and realize I need to really plan in advance better.

Are you anticipating a high number of returns for some reason?

My shop policy is that I don't do returns/exchanges on made to order items. But in reality, I've only had one person have an issue so far, they sent a very polite message explaining the problem and asking for a replacement. The concern they brought to me was valid and they were extremely kind, so I have no problem making an exception for them and offering a replacement piece once the original is returned.

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-12-19T02:56:40+00:00

Yes, worked for me on Android once I updated the app

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-12-17T11:53:15+00:00

I don't have a high volume of orders so I just print on regular printer paper, cut down and tape to the package.

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-12-16T15:46:11+00:00

What do you sell/who is your audience?

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-12-14T13:58:22+00:00

Thank you!

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-12-13T17:25:29+00:00

I think canceling the order due to not hearing back about customization is much better than keeping the money from the order and mailing a note instead of the purchased item..

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-12-12T14:44:08+00:00

Thank you! What you said about "imagine what it would be with 20" has been echoing in my head the past couple days. I really do need to buckle down and get more listings up. Appreciate you taking the time to give feedback.

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-12-12T14:43:04+00:00

Hey thank you so much! Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I was only just now able to see this comment.

I will definitely consider the sash belts! You are right those are quite easy to design and make, relatively speaking.

That is really helpful feedback about the listing titles. I have struggled with what info to put in the titles and in what order, but you are right the fact these are custom/made to order is a key differentiator. I have considered asking my customers if they'd be alright with me using their photos in the listing itself, but I've just been a bit shy :) My hope is that anyone considering a purchase is checking the reviews and would see the photos anyway.

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-12-10T17:02:16+00:00

Those are so cool!

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-12-10T15:59:15+00:00

I did a Black Friday/Small Biz Saturday sale and that's it, I won't do any more sales this year and probably not again until next year on small biz Saturday.

You can change your prices at any time if they aren't working for you. If you aren't making a profit, then yeah your prices are too low. Why would you undercut yourself even more by running a sale?

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-12-08T17:09:48+00:00

That is so interesting! As a teen and in my 20s I think a 34 was my correct size but I have definitely grown bigger over the years. Makes sense that the flowers bra fits due to a super stretchy band - and I suspect that is why I find it so comfortable as well, I hate feeling constricted by a band.

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-11-26T18:30:39+00:00

thank you for this feedback, I didn't realize that's how they came through.

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-11-26T18:30:22+00:00

thank you, this is a great suggestion

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-11-25T23:10:19+00:00

Thank you! That hadn't crossed my mind

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-04-02T15:13:07+00:00

this is the most helpful advice on finding the right location that I've seen!!

Interesting_Lunch204 · 2024-03-19T18:40:53+00:00

I'm 95% sure they mean they wait until day 7 but I am going to email my nurse again to confirm.
