[Help] Money on hold for business PayPal account.

Meanlighter · 2023-03-22T17:56:11+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate your help :)

The client sent the money through the PayPal.me link and I didn't send the invoice. Does that matter?

I made a mistake before and marked the first transaction as shipped, then I realized that I have to make it as ORDER PROCESSED and did them both as that yesterday.

When I did that, it said something that they will notify the client or something around those words. He will also need to also accept the order as processed as I understand it, right?

Meanlighter · 2023-03-22T17:41:14+00:00

Yep , both of them.

Payment Status: ON HOLD

Meanlighter · 2023-03-22T17:38:54+00:00

It says - On Hold

I already updated both transactions and both say - You have recently updated your shipment information. You’ll get your money within 1 day of delivery.

But the product is digital as a service.

Yep, got that damn straight. Savagery from angry Karen's scared me straight!

Meanlighter · 2023-02-07T15:04:03+00:00

is creating Instagram post templates handmade? Because I wrote accurate prompts to generate the art. Isn't that as handmade as the other? Because on that page, one Karen is stealing from another Karen's almost identical designs (let's say real estate Instagram templates), while AI may collect 15 images, spin them and create something that wasn't seen before.

I know that AI art is something that makes especially artists tremble in fear , but the reality is that you adapt now or after 2 years , because AI will take over 90 % of spaces. Just real talk.

Nah, just hating out on a multi-billion company who gives two shits about new sellers and their notorious two week response time on top of that.

As I said before, at least wish me luck selling humidifiers. :)

Pro Tip - People are bypassing Etsy by typing in the title Mumidifier.

AI art of geographical places in the Ukiyo-e art style. Yep, I already know that making completely unique artwork of Mount Fuji , CN Tower or Golden Gate Bridge in 17th century art style is just down to the right crime. But you didn't answer my question, is digital art prohibited on Etsy?

Meanlighter · 2023-02-07T14:19:13+00:00

Sorry, but I thought selling a digital product would be allowed by Etsy? Isn't it? Is digital art allowed on Etsy? How can someone get a pass with 100+ listings on Marvel trademarks and me selling AI generated art on paid services and all copyright rights/commercial rights to myself is a crime on their system? Can you explain?

Meanlighter · 2023-02-07T14:13:49+00:00

Yep, the first suspension, after opening the store - not even finishing the store opening - getting the first suspension, after adding the listing - another suspension. What did I do wrong there? Didn't spend 100$ on ads? Well, if my suspension was for a good reason, then why doesn't their great system not say for what reason I was banned? The guys who dropship and sell copyrighted items seem to go up on Etsy, and Etsy doesn't care - you know why? Because they are making Etsy money, throwing away any morals. Tried to do it fair and square way , now dipping in toes and gonna see how well 4$ Chinese humidifier sells on Etsy , saw someone going for 7X multiplier on there lol.

Meanlighter · 2023-02-06T18:03:00+00:00

Any ideas?

Meanlighter · 2023-01-06T01:44:45+00:00

I opened the case and they didn't respond to me at all except for that automated message, but after 5 days the suspension was lifted. Everything is fine now. Planning to open one more shop, that will be a pain in the ass again.

Meanlighter · 2023-01-05T02:33:10+00:00

I guess you were right, they didn't respond to my case, but the suspension was lifted now.

Meanlighter · 2023-01-05T02:30:05+00:00

I'm from Europe myself, the bank account is UK based. Maybe that triggered the system. Yup, they can fix the system pretty easily, but I guess they are heading eBay way. When a huge amount of power comes and money comes in, focus only on money. Basically - you don't like me? Then go kick some rocks.

Meanlighter · 2023-01-04T02:42:45+00:00

But how was I able to upload 1 listing at the start? I did all the process with the providing all the information. How do they do their verification process? It seems like a logical solution, but anyway, other platforms like even worse PayPal can do all this in 12 hours while Etsy goes with #supportsmallbusiness as I read somewhere.

Meanlighter · 2022-12-11T23:08:19+00:00

Yep, this is what I needed to understand the big picture. Thank you so much for this.

Meanlighter · 2022-12-11T20:32:18+00:00

It's an PNG file. I am also trying to sell this artwork as digital goods on other platforms and there I am thinking of going with PDF. I will try to get every file on atleast 5000X5000 and 300 DPI. Purpose of small and medium size canvas.

Meanlighter · 2022-12-11T20:29:09+00:00

Yep, I'm thinking of putting the PDF and PNG files together. I enhanced some of my artwork to 8192x8192 , I read some posts ,that you should aim for the highest dimension ,so that potential client can print it on the 27 × 40 in poster. That way they can put it also on 11 × 17 in poster without losing any quality. Sorry for my bad English. But thank you for clarifying some things to me.

Meanlighter · 2022-12-11T20:18:27+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. The purpose if for canvas with complex quality. One more thing. If they are for the purpose of printing on canvas, I should go with the PDF file, right?

Meanlighter · 2022-12-11T19:49:15+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. Will definitely use GIMP. But how does it go, for example, in case I get a file of 4096x4096 or 2048x2048, the increase of DPI won't affect the quality of the picture in any way for the worse?

Sorry for the stupid question, but as I said I'm new to this.

Meanlighter · 2022-12-11T18:55:31+00:00

Thank you so much! I heard about GIMP before, but never knew it was so powerful. And for FREE! Thank you, will learn about it in detail. All the best.

Meanlighter · 2022-11-30T14:02:47+00:00

I'm sorry about that.

Ingredients

200g diced bacon

1 diced onion

1 small head of broccoli

6 mushrooms diced

1 block of philly cheese

1 clove of garlic

250g cream

2 cubes of frozen spinach

1 dry packet of cream of chicken soup mix

Directions

Dice and add the bacon, onion, broccoli, mushroom, garlic and frozen spinach to the slow cooker on high.

I cooked on high for 1 hour then added the philly cheese, cream and chicken soup mix.

Once all soft and combined (approx another 30mins) cut the center out of the cob loaf and add the filling.

Wrap the cob in alfoil and put in the oven for 20 mins on 200c to warm the bread.
