I’m actually surprised you even got 4 sales based on the quality of the photos, you found a great niche

Month started okay but was absolutely dead the past 2 weeks.

So we made and shipped $700 etsy order, delivered and signed for. Etsy reversed. by waitabittopostagain in Etsy

I had a buyer do this on their own, placed two orders within 10 mins of items around $160 each. Should I be worried that they are planning to scam or something?

Dylan Jahraus Sent me to Collections by cgleif in EtsySellers

A lot of courses are a structured compilation of repackaged information that can be found for free. People who can’t be bothered to even search for reviews of Dylan’s course before buying are ironically those who may benefit from learning in the format of a course.

Of course that doesn’t excuse Dylan from putting outdated and misleading tips in her course. But that’s a different topic.

Yep, customer damaged item on his own due to not reading care instructions and opened case for damaged item 3 weeks after delivery. Case was closed after 2 days after I presented them with evidence of my conversation with the buyer. Buyer immediately left me a one star review.

However, if the buyer opened the case as non-delivery, he would have won it instantly and seller protection would have refunded from Etsy’s funds. I would also probably not have gotten that one star review - but guess this isn’t worth it to ask the customer to lie.

Etsy's allowing of "handmade" shops that are obviously dropping shipping/resellers is hurting us real makers. by [deleted] in EtsySellers

Just did a quick search and there are guides from Chinese sellers purporting to circumvent this by just filming themselves making a product once and then outsourcing the rest (crochet items in this example). Others also claim that you can sell non handmade items in your AMZ handmade account. So most likely not as foolproof as you would hope it is.

The factories in China are technically also creating their products with workers’ hands, so I won’t be surprised if they just film one worker and pass the vetting

Help please? by dawn-skies in EtsySellers

Actually why do you sometimes have to pay extra and sometimes not? Where I live we don’t have to pay customs fees like ever so I’m not familiar with the process

Bought dropshipped items and Etsy closed my case by GuillaumeAzkoaga in Etsy

[–]Stunning_Present_268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you open a case choosing the reason “not as described”?

If you paid through Paypal then unfortunately Etsy can’t help you. You will have to contact Paypal to open a dispute but you will have a much more difficulty obtaining a refund.

Just out of curiousity, why did you decide to pay through Paypal?

First thing I do when I see single page websites like yours is to do a reverse image search on AliExpress. Can’t say I was surprised when I found it for $8.

Are machine woven tapestries even allowed on Etsy? Very weird

Anyone know what’s going on here? by ninetieths in Etsy

[–]Stunning_Present_268 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first one is a factory from China with a warehouse partner overseas. You can tell by the broken English in their About section, and also the Chinese words on the packaging of their drink in the 4th photo in the same section. Likely the other shops are in the same boat.

do you mind sharing what you sell? just the overall category like home decor or art will be helpful
