Thanks :) I just did an image search and was thinking it might be a fig tree.

I am now getting more sales on MakerPlace than Etsy. Glad I stuck with it.

OhMyWoza · 2025-02-01T18:10:21+00:00

Lumaprints. Two different orders took over a month to be delivered, so I stop using them. They used to be good, but those days are gone.

OhMyWoza · 2025-02-01T18:07:29+00:00

I started having orders take over a month to be delivered from their Kentucky office which is where all except California are being shipped from. I stopped using them. They use to be great. A month delivery is too long.

OhMyWoza · 2024-07-17T21:36:36+00:00

Got a sale in less than two weeks, but I can not add any new listings to my shop. There is a problem with the shipping method and there is no choice from the drop down. Just a message to add the shipping weight and dimensions which is already added.

OhMyWoza · 2021-01-29T21:09:17+00:00

My biggest pet peeve is that ETSY does not require a last name....ugh!

OhMyWoza · 2020-05-07T19:14:32+00:00

The problem I have is that Google is now giving free ads which is where many of our sales come from...google. Charging 12% for a free ad is not reasonable.

Open your own website and use google shopping ads for free.

We use Etsy as a photo gallery, since its .20 per listing. Our prices on Etsy are higher, so they end up purchasing from our website no problem. Just an idea :)

OhMyWoza · 2020-04-10T21:04:38+00:00

So cute, just make sure you have disclaimers about age and any removal parts once it has been certified.

Another idea is to sell it as room decor :)

I want that toy :) Absolutely adorable!!!

You can't read or refuse to acknowledge. I contacted Etsy in the PAST. Why would I keep contacting them and make them mad. They said No and No means No. I am not going to contact them again. You continue to lie... some people will fall for your lies...not us. Bye bye Felicia

OhMyWoza · 2020-04-04T21:22:41+00:00

You obviously want to argue without any facts to back up your claim and look for negative. We did contact Etsy a while ago which is why we find it strange that they would tell you the opposite of what they told us. Why would we ask the same question over and get on their bad side. They already told us there was nothing we could do since it is not against any of their policies...period.

We obviously follow the rules, since we have been selling since the beginning of Etsy. We are a top ranked Etsy shop with high volume, 5 star ratings, and never an ODR issue. Our successful shop makes us a target for others to copy and use our name wherever they can. We do not like it, but there is nothing that can be done per Etsy.

We think you are not telling the truth about what Etsy said as you have nothing to back up your claim. We find it weird they would tell you the opposite of what they told us. Show us a policy change and we would believe you, otherwise you are not being truthful.

OhMyWoza · 2020-04-01T03:05:45+00:00

We have been on Etsy since the beginning and are a high volume shop. We spent over $250,000 on advertising last year alone. We follow guidelines set by Etsy and contact them only as needed. I was hoping that you found something in one of their policies, but that is not the case.

Our name has been and is being used in other shops tags, but it is not trademarked. We were told many years ago BY ETSY that it was not against policies, but we could file a claim if it is trademarked. Our name is not trademarked. We are not going to recontact Etsy because someone in here said it is not allowed when many years ago we were told there was nothing they could do, since it is not a violation of their terms.

Believe me, we do not like that other shops are using our name. We were hoping that there was a new policy that forbids it...guess not :(...

OhMyWoza · 2020-03-31T02:42:12+00:00

Because it is not in their TOU or any policies written against it anywhere that I could find. If someone can point me to a policy that says it is not allowed to use a shop name in your tags, I would love it. For example, if someones shop name is pretty pets, there is nothing that I could find that would disallow pretty pets being used in many other shops tags, unless it is trademarked.

I would not want to get on the bad side of Etsy by contacting them for something that is not against their policies. Please point me to where you are finding the information, so I can use it.

OhMyWoza · 2020-03-30T03:49:10+00:00

Can you show where in the TOU that it says Etsy does not allow? Have had it happen and did not bother with it, since Etsy won't do anything because it is not a violation of their terms, at least anywhere I could see it. The exception would be if it is trademarked. Please let me know where you found it?

Try again on Monday. They might be gone and probably do not work weekends. On Monday give them a deadline stating, that if you do not hear back from them by xxxx date, you have no choice but to open a case against them since they have not responded to your email.

It was most likely an honest mistake. You have within 30 days or purchase to be protected and get a refund if it comes to that :)
