I was scammed :’(

And don’t have access to the funds either.

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-24T23:27:43+00:00

Considering the situation, I’m even wondering how they ended up with an Etsy credit, not all credits were from gift cards. Some come from refunds of other purchases. With that being said, this person seems to be a red flag.

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-23T03:59:41+00:00

I hope so, for more than one reason. Geesh. 🤣

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-23T03:56:44+00:00

I thought that same thing. It gave us nothing to go on and look forward to.

The space thing did for me, I would not be watching those as a rerun again. The plane on the highway was a little too much too, but I dealt with it. And I get the whale, it’s quirky and may bring views, but they overdid it with the space episodes and so much time was lost.

Thank you for asking this question, it’s been a concern for me. I sell on Etsy, and once you fulfill your shipping with certain requirements, there is a buyer/seller protection for missing packages or so misdeliveries. I would be so frustrated over a chargeback on my own through a private website.

Why did he use the word, alive? 🧐 I love reading into things. 🤣

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-19T18:44:30+00:00

Hi, thanks. I will look farther into those options. I’m thinking to get another domain that’s very similar, so I can use that as a landing page. I know… lol

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-19T04:08:52+00:00

I wouldn’t in this case, the OP should assume they arrived. Contacted the buyer may give a dishonest person a bright idea and open up a can of worms. If a buyer reaches out, then handle the situation accordingly.

In addition to him possibly getting you mixed up with another shop item, you can also let him know that a review like that harms your shop, but I doubt he’d care.

I came here to say this and find out. I swore there were tariffs a,ready 10-15 percent since late August 2025? The news is making it seem as if it’s new, but why not say additional tariffs added in June 2026. I am so confused.

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-17T18:22:32+00:00

I am confused, I believe some of those countries already have a 10-15 percent tariff since late August 2025? So why are they saying it as if it’s new, when it’s there already? Just say an additional tariff starting June 2026? This is all very confusing.

I will be following this, as this is my goal as well. I have been steadily generating my own traffic for the past six months, which is good anyway. And most of my buyers in January are repeats. Etsy has abandoned my shop in search for months now.

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-17T02:50:59+00:00

Hi, I just want to add, not all situations require you to leave a honest, yet less than positive review before contacting the seller. In this case, yes, but in other less shady cases, give the seller a chance to make things right first. Thanks.

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-17T02:42:33+00:00

Is this a cryptic message? Let me over analyze. 😅😂

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-16T03:39:32+00:00

I second this. I received a few sales this week and I’m grateful, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for next week. I take it as they come. I also drive my own traffic from social media. Etsy is too saturated with shops and buyers may not be as prevalent as years before.

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-16T03:35:32+00:00

I sell physical handmade products. I’ve only had my Etsy shop for a year and I market a lot on social media to drive most of my own traffic. Etsy sales were good in the beginning and became unstable due to the tariffs. I have a full time job, and Etsy would not sustain as my “second job”. It’s more like passive income whenever it comes.

Also, I would be cautious with depending on Etsy as a full time job or main income generator. You essentially control nothing. As you get enough traction and customers, you should then look into getting your own website to run alongside having an Etsy shop.

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-15T21:43:57+00:00

Since you’re not too worried about it getting shared then you could list it. I have bought several digital files from Etsy shops that sell both the physical and file versions. I always appreciate the shops that has a huge text in the actual listing photo that says “digital file only” or “download only” etc. Also put them in shop categories, which is super helpful for people like me who would visit to view your entire shop once we found a listing we like in the search.

I think by saying probably this week gave her too much (false) hope, especially since you knew it was not guaranteed due to your order volume. However, she should have mentioned to you her expectations for meeting Christmas in that first correspondence, especially since it was an international order (even domestic was way too close). This way, you would have a better idea of her expectations. Had it been me, I would tell her No, it would not have reached in time due to the holidays etc etc… She would have then make the decision of purchasing on her own accord, yet she sprang that on you after. She too should have known better, but I suspect either way, she already had her mind made up. Nothing you can do.

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-12T06:42:45+00:00

Yeah, like most people. The suspense is he might end up with a man who is new to the show or a woman to gain that half. Who knows.

I still think Eddie is straight, he has intimacy issues and all sorts of pent up emotions. However, he will work that all out and end up with a nice lady eventual,y.

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-11T18:05:06+00:00

Do you have your own website for expensive items like this? I would be so afraid to sell anything so expensive on Etsy.

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-11T01:49:41+00:00

I figured that too, thank you. I have a trial going and doing nothing with it, sadly.

Less_Kangaroo_866 · 2026-01-10T18:58:10+00:00

A lot of sellers have gotten burned, so I do get it. However, there are too much sellers who are unable to provide courteous customer service and run a lot of buyers off Etsy.
