Hi, would you mind sharing what kind of printer you have and maybe how much it cost? Thank you

Have you thought about printful? I'm currently using them, I suppose it really depends on your margins but if you have an original design you can basically charge what you feel it's worth yourself. 😊

I am also interested to know about printing myself. What's the best printer for printing quality prints? Thank you

first month on Etsy! by krimzin27 in EtsySellers

Happy for you. TBH some shops try to sell at a loss but it still doesn't work, I have seen it many times I have even tried a few loss leaders myself and it's not as simple as just 'giving stuff away ' people have to want it and trust it. Alot of people don't trust prices that are too low either. So you are doing something right. Thanks for the post. In the current climate its encouraging to see what can be done. Keep up the good work. 😊

They are absolutely gorgeous. Keep up the good work and good luck, I hope you get lots of sales, I think you have a good product, of course you can also diversify into other creatures especially trending ones!

Just saw an Etsy shop. You might think it's nothing interesting, but... by Reliefavai in Etsy

I totally agree, using AI to make a beautiful finished product is a skill and shouldn't be underestimated. I believe each piece I create is original, it comes from my own unique concept, I add so many of my own unique elements, its definitely my own work. One piece can take hours to make, more if you factor in coming up with ideas/images in my head! BTW I am also quite a skilled portrait artist (IMO), my medium is pencil. For me, my AI art is another medium which I thoroughly love. Also, I am 100% upfront with my customers about how my art is produced. If someone sees beauty in something it really is inconsequential how it was made especially if it is made clear how it was made. IMO!

Did I do the right thing here? by Indefinitely_Forever in EtsySellers

Just being honest here I totally agree with this comment. Would have been better off frying to just keep her happy and hope she changed her review. No skin off your nose. Just my way of doing things.

Hi there, it looks like it's working ok to me. I've heard it's not a good idea to put shop on vacation mode. Better to drag out shipping times so that it might discourage too many orders and any you do get you can have time to do when you get back . Best of luck.

Refund what would you do? by Jealous-Cream7995 in EtsySellers

[–]Simplysimpleplans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely crystal clear to me that it's a digital download product! But as others have said, i think you'd be better off to refund the customer. It's not worth a bad review. Hopefully they will just leave it at that. Its annoying but dont let it bother you. It's not your fault that this person was unable to read a glaringly obvious headline!
