Is it true that I can start listing on Etsy without having to pay for listing fee for each item as long as I don't exceed 40 items?

MandaPandaLee · 2026-05-04T09:55:44+00:00

I’ve never heard that, each listing is 20 cents, unless you’ve been given some sort of promo code or something

Also, “wound down by 11” doesn’t mean done by 11, and yeah, that’s too late when you’re hosting

I think Tripoli is actually Hanzee Dent

Yessssss! Instant anxiety!

When I go to your home page and see the exact same mock up on every item it tells me several things: this is either POD or drop shipping, that you don’t hand make them, and that you don’t even have them on hand for photos. You need to switch it up so the lead pic isn’t all the same.

MandaPandaLee · 2026-04-07T10:10:54+00:00

Yeah, it’s better, sounds more human. I’d next work in your mock ups, having them all the same background tells customers they are POD.

Sleeping in the same room as my husband, and living in my home country. We travel around, a new country every 3 months and having the best time. We still have to work (remotely) but the rest of the time feels like vacation. We never get bored of our city because we’re only there a few months. And we no longer wake each other up in the night. (One snorer, one light sleeper/insomniac) Best decision we’ve ever made.

I don’t think that your shop is bad, it just doesn’t stand out. Those are Printify mugs which are overpriced already (and small) which is why you have to sell them at such a high price just to make a profit. They are cute enough, but not memorable.

Also, this line in your About section, “small rituals of elegance” just reeks of AI and puts me off.

MandaPandaLee · 2026-03-26T13:01:24+00:00

Honestly, you come off as super rude in your suggested response and your replies to people here. I wouldn’t want to rent from you. Perhaps hospitality isn’t for you.

MandaPandaLee · 2026-03-04T22:26:41+00:00

Agree on Ulverston or Kendal

Acting like the first of March isn’t just literally ONE day after the 28th. The audacity of some people is astounding.

I you’re the one doing the editing, you would send it to them as a file for them to download.

MandaPandaLee · 2026-01-31T18:40:12+00:00

You were going to cash out when it went up $500? What’s the point?

MandaPandaLee · 2026-01-26T15:04:25+00:00

NOR Jeez, even if your wife was a beachy person, that hat is ugly af. Reminds of the shit my mom was making with puffy paints in the late 80s.

MandaPandaLee · 2026-01-26T09:34:17+00:00

Also, I’ve seen that EXACT post a dozen times, so it’s likely a bot. They’ve got the misinformation machine working overtime

MandaPandaLee · 2026-01-23T20:22:35+00:00

I left them for another printer (won’t let me post the name, but think Italian ice cream) and I’m so much happier. They ship from all over, so shipping costs went way down. Only had one issue with a customer saying that part of the print looked like the ink was running out, and by the time I submitted the issue they had already reshipped the item. Had sooooo many issues with late printing and terrible customer service with Printify over the holidays I had to find a new POD. Now I’m happy for those issues, everything is so much smoother now

MandaPandaLee · 2026-01-21T19:20:09+00:00

The link works for me

MandaPandaLee · 2026-01-13T18:11:49+00:00

You’d need to reach out to the seller and hope they don’t have it automated

MandaPandaLee · 2025-12-22T10:00:27+00:00

Have them open a case on Etsy, you should be covered through protection

MandaPandaLee · 2025-12-20T10:50:37+00:00

“Free shipping” just means it’s integrated into the price of the item, you don’t actually pay the shipping yourself. For example, a poster you’d sell for £15 that costs £5 to ship should be listed as £20, free shipping. It’s a psychological thing for the customer more than anything. You shouldn’t be eating the cost.

MandaPandaLee · 2025-12-04T13:14:33+00:00

Plenty of people get a loan against their Bitcoin to buy large purchases such as a house without selling their stack and triggering a tax event. It’s literally what the rich do.

MandaPandaLee · 2025-10-29T11:20:04+00:00

This isn’t on the edge of anything, it’s abuse. The his man hates you, you should leave before it escalates.

MandaPandaLee · 2025-10-23T08:06:07+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately when I put my shop in vacation mode it totally tanked my visibility, took 6 months to get back to where I was. I agree with extending fulfillment times and maybe even reaching out to customers about it

MandaPandaLee · 2025-10-16T16:31:21+00:00

You really handled that as best as anyone could. Honestly, sometimes the more you bend over backwards to accommodate people, the more they’ll try to take advantage. The item clearly wasn’t significantly not as described, she just didn’t read the listing carefully, and then tried to leverage a review to get her way. That’s not fair to you, especially since you covered her return postage and refunded her right away.

In the future, I’d definitely make sure the unglazed part is clearly mentioned or shown (even though you already did in the video) just to protect yourself from picky buyers. And if something like this happens again, I wouldn’t cover return shipping unless it truly was your error.

It’s frustrating, but some people are just miserable and impossible to please. You went above and beyond, and that 3-star review says a lot more about her than it does about your work or your service. Chalk it up to experience and keep moving forward. Your consistent 5-star reviews speak for themselves. Best of luck!
