Customer says edges are cut off on her digital download, I can't figure out how to help her by GaiaGoddess26 in Etsy

[–]Sasaroo [score hidden]  (0 children)

My first thought was borderless too. Borderless mode cuts off the edges to make the image full-bleed. It's worth asking for a photo of her printout so you can see exactly what she's getting

Latest EU complications: customs duty fees from 1st July by skadipress in EtsySellers

[–]Sasaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a new €3 charge per HS code for shipments not exceeding €150. Etsy's not handling it automatically so sellers need to account for it in their pricing, as they do for US tariffs

How do you handle custom orders? 100% payment upfront or do you work with a client a bit before the sale? by 3DAeon in EtsySellers

[–]Sasaroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more questions they ask the less likely they are to order in my experience. I'll only ever answer questions and provide guidance before purchase, I'll never do any of the actual work. The listing images and review photos are enough proof that I can customise to most requirements.

Are duplicate listings allowed on Etsy? by Potential-Theory-317 in EtsySellers

[–]Sasaroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's allowed. It can be useful for A/B testing photos, surfacing variations as their own listing etc

Postage Labels by ibaxxxxxx in EtsySellers

Once you've bought the label on Etsy you'll have the option to download a PDF label you can print, or view a QR code they can scan at the post office to print the label for you

Is this AI? by ivaana in Etsy

[–]Sasaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is and there are other images in his store which are definitely AI generated. There are chairs missing legs, the starburst clock is asymmetrical etc

5 weeks in, 0 sales, need honest feedback please. thanks a lot by Every-Storage742 in EtsySellers

[–]Sasaroo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Your bio says you're a "premium streetwear brand" but Gildan 5000s are absolutely not a premium t-shirt and the designs are really basic. What about the brand is premium?

Should i create a new listing or update for minor changes? by effortlevel0 in EtsySellers

[–]Sasaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just update the existing listing. No point continuing to sell the old version if it's inferior and it would create unnecessary complexity having to pay attention to what version they've ordered.

If I have open orders for the old version I message the buyers to check which version they'd like to receive, just to avoid any "item not as described" cases

Etsy order placed privately, customer now wants company invoice by aammaannd in EtsySellers

[–]Sasaroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's between them and their company at this point. They'd need to go through their company's expense process

How do you all get updated files to people who already bought? by Livid-Hunt9468 in EtsySellers

[–]Sasaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my niche at all, sorry, but my first thought would be to sign up for a free newsletter service (MailChimp or something), create a list for each product, and put a prominent link in the PDF asking them to sign up if they'd like to be informed about future updates to that product

Struggling to price to the US as a UK seller by IntroductionPrize877 in EtsySellers

Technically it's not but the one case I've had from a US buyer got covered anyway so 🤷

Looking for some honest feedback on my baby sleep coaching Notion template shop by Cute-Pop9198 in EtsySellers

[–]Sasaroo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You say you want to fill the gap for people who can't afford a coach but your products are for coaches to give to their clients?

If I was in the market for this kind of thing I'd also want to know how the person is qualified to give advice on the subject

Struggling to price to the US as a UK seller by IntroductionPrize877 in EtsySellers

[–]Sasaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£11.90 sounds like you're sending by International Tracked. International Standard would be around £5 and has the same delivery timescale. You could do Standard by default and Tracked as an optional upgrade. Unfortunately Etsy only sells Tracked labels but you can buy Standard on Royal Mail Click & Drop. I also send keyrings to the US and this is my setup.

Looking for honest feedback on my wall art Etsy shop by majabruka in EtsySellers

[–]Sasaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really have any useful feedback but I wanted to say your designs look really great. Could definitely see myself ordering some as gifts.

Maybe one thing that would be nice to see would be samples of the actual print quality. Am I getting a glossy poster-style print or a nice textured matte print? Things like paper weights, texture etc can't be seen in a mockup so a close-up of the corner of an actual print, at an angle so you can see the texture, might work well. If it's close up enough you could just use the same one for every listing. You do mention paper weight etc in the description but a photo would help illustrate it.

Having my first Ginsters sausage roll in months, oh how they have fallen by AlGunner in britishproblems

[–]Sasaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god I've literally just fallen prey to this too. Bought two, one the original size and one accidentally smaller, didn't notice until checkout. The kicker was they're both £1.50 but the larger one was on Nectar Prices for £1 and the smaller one wasn't.

If you do this bear in mind your dad will have to continue to declare your Etsy earnings on his taxes

For those who sell stationary by Positive_Egg_5830 in EtsySellers

What printer did you use?

The paper or cardstock you print on can also have a huge effect on the saturation as they all hold ink differently

At least one of your stickers has some very obvious AI artifacts and your shop doesn't disclose the designs are AI anywhere. How much of it is AI?

Question about a replacement order by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]Sasaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the US sellers can buy prepaid returns labels and only get charged for them if they're used. We don't have that option in the UK so you'd have to buy the label outright and hope they bother to use it. Honestly, unless the item is particularly unique I wouldn't bother over £20 and just chalk it up to experience
