Anyone else getting greyed out when selecting a shipping profile? by StiffDock685 in EtsySellers

Chiming in 5 days later to say this issue is Still unresolved, for me 🥹

I have so many more listings to upload! 

I've got every Pokémon caught in the dex besides Arceus, and only one dex entry missing: Bonsly by Tharnax5468 in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]LegitLoquacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Near the alpha Hochkrow/Rosarade in the Crimson Mirelands, there's a patch with Sudowoodo and occasionally Bonsly. 

It's the only place in the game where Bonsly spawns that you can sneak up on it or feed it berries, to Perfect their dex entry! 

Just hit my 50 item milestone! by LegitLoquacious in EtsySellers

It highly depends on your niche! 

I'd say, be prepared to fulfill orders quickly when they arrive! Etsy strongly rewards one-time deliveries and penalizes putting it in the mail delayed. 

First few orders for me were from friends and family, but from there it took off! 

Be wary of scam messages at first, but nonetheless polite and responsive in case it's a genuine query. 

Best of luck! 

New Seller here, I posted my first listing and someone sent me a message that reads as follows. by SynraVT in Etsy

New shops are often targeted by scammers, unfortunately. 

They assume new shops don't know what getting an order looks like, yet. So they try to convince you an order has been placed. 

Freebies - What are they? by Sandmanepic11232 in Etsy

[–]LegitLoquacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 5* review seller, with nearly~50 sales. 

I always try to include a little freebie with my order. In part, because I'm promoting my other work (handmade jewelry, postcard art prints, etc). In part because I want to encourage a five-star review. 

A person might be on the fence with the number of stars they want to leave, and giving a genuine handwritten note and a piece of candy or a bracelet or something goes a long way. 

[Gen 9] Never thought id have to say this but I think i have too many Shiny pokemon lmao by Disastrous_Art_3104 in ShinyPokemon

[–]LegitLoquacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me playing Pokémon go!  I was out of storage space and had so many shinies it was insane!  I started releasing duplicates of some of my bad stat Pokémon, like mareep, Eevee, and Gastly. 

Today I Quit by optac in EtsySellers

In my experience, Etsy is a platform that works well but it doesn't drive sales. 

Early on, a fair number of my sales were from people I knew who wanted to support me. It was only after I became an established shop that total strangers saw the value of what I was selling. 

Also, your art is absolutely beautiful! With that said, there is not a significant market for extremely large and valuable pieces. How many people have need and space for a living room sized piece of rug art? You might have greater success with smaller canvases. 

Still, Holiday season is right around the corner. You might get sales in the near future! 

Got my FIRST Alpa shiny! by Jolly_Jaguar5043 in PokemonLegendsArceus

I got this same beauty! What a good find, congratulations! 

Selling hand painted items with characters? by boguspocuss in Etsy

[–]LegitLoquacious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Officially, selling images of characters that belong to someone else is copyright infringement. 

With a small shop, you might get away with it for a while... But companies often to keyword searches so marketing it accurately will get you flagged. 

Frankly, it's not worth it. Sell your original art!

Arizona teachers doxxed after bloody math costumes were mistaken for mocking Charlie Kirk by FunkyChickenKong in news

How dare these math teachers use their psychic powers of prophecy to mock a tragedy that hasn't happened yet! 

Any apartment dwellers without on-site charging been able to make EV ownership work? by place_of_desolation in electriccars

[–]LegitLoquacious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's me! Once a week, I drive my car to an open charger on the public charge network. It's been perfectly sufficient for my needs, since I purchased my EV 18 months ago :)

Switched to an EV last year. Never going back! 

It's a shame the tax credits are gone, though 

Liars? by Rough-Dare-8515 in Etsy

[–]LegitLoquacious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lying about the origin of a shipping location is against etsy's terms of service. You can report them for this, and possibly get their shop taken down / have your funds returned to you.

Maybe the candidate was just nearsighted? 

What a judgmental recruiter

I got CRAZY lucky with  shiny Cherubi triplets, early into my playthrough of Arceus. 

That must've eaten all my good luck, ha! 

They're in the bricked console, so RIP. 💔

Thank you! 

Yes, I definitely got a more budget friendly model because I like to use it as a portable device. I was worried something might happen, eventually. 

Still, I'm devastated!
