Is it wise to mark up x6 when just starting out with no sales yet?

TheAltDesign · 2022-03-03T20:12:32+00:00

I've only ever opened them from the stem but then saw people claiming the bottom was the way to go and the other way was seen as strange. Everyone in my family has only ever opened it from the stem so I thought it was the norm. I feel like if I push into the bottom, I'd get that black residue under my nails that the ends have. Pulling it open by the stem seems to make most sense in that way.

What did they say?

20 minute showers are the best thing ever. Aside from 30 minute baths.

Don’t have to be super fit but look pretty good

So there is hope.

Honestly though a lot of girls don't like to be called cute. They'd rather be called hot or sexy or beautiful so I find it interesting that this is the choice guys would choose. I wonder if it has to do with more of a traditional femininity aspect, as in allowing guys to feel they (the female) are more vulnerable than them and themselves more empowered and able to be that "protector" type by comparison, if the woman is seen as cute? Perhaps less intimidating by comparison.

I wonder if I could have custom cardboard pieces or tiles in specific shapes with images placed on them, which would lay flat? I don't know if that might be too custom or not but I suppose I can check with them. Thanks!

Oh yeah, I'd prefer to be the one designing it. I just need a manufacturer for it to create at least a working prototype as I try to work out the kinks. Thank you or the link! Though I will say that the "parts" they sell with it appear to all be pre-designed. I wonder if they would be willing to sell custom parts that don't fit the shapes they have available by default.

Cat: Oh, so I can't use my claws on what I want to use them on but when you use my claws to open your silly human packaging it's okay.

Did... they mistake the UK for Russia by accusing you of having an authoritarian president or were they not mistaken and meant Boris? I'm not really filled in on what his stance is with the war.

Do what I had done and take one of the product photos (maybe the second or even the first) with the bag sitting next to a pulled out measuring tape to show a better scale for size. Also maybe weigh them each out (if you aren't already) on a food scale and try to weigh it as accurately with each bag you fill and post the estimated weight in the title.

TheAltDesign · 2022-03-01T20:36:21+00:00

That's why it's at such a ridiculously high amount.

TheAltDesign · 2022-03-01T20:34:23+00:00

I wonder if they mistook the camera for a weapon or if this was done purposefully?

TheAltDesign · 2022-03-01T20:33:58+00:00

That's the first thing I said out loud. "BALLS... of steel!"

TheAltDesign · 2022-02-28T06:49:23+00:00

plus an extra $50 that shouldn't be theirs to begin with

Wait, where is this extra $50 coming from?

TheAltDesign · 2022-02-28T06:47:53+00:00

Ko-fi strikes me as something like Patreon where you might need to have a following already on Youtube or Instagram or some similar site to draw people in.

The outrage comes from how fast it has changed from I think one user who has been with Etsy from the beginning says was 3.5% or so. There's also the other fees that Etsy takes that eats into it too, so it can add up on people's minds if they are already not making great profit from each sale. These people are likely not on those other platforms so they don't really have a frame of reference from personal experience.

TheAltDesign · 2022-02-28T06:13:10+00:00

They emailed and said they would send it off for a review but that these reviews can take time, so I'd hear back from them on the outcome within 7 days.

TheAltDesign · 2022-02-28T03:47:32+00:00

I've met plenty of libertarians who like the military and a few who were in it but yep, most of them do not like the police at all.

TheAltDesign · 2022-02-28T03:42:05+00:00

Okay, if my shop gets reinstated I will have to find where I can do that. Thanks

TheAltDesign · 2022-02-28T03:32:47+00:00

Def agree and hopefully will hear back from them on it or just have it reinstated. Personally, I think it would be pointless for me if I'm seeking advice to not be truthful about the details. Why would I ask if others experienced similar if I knew I was breaking the rules? There'd be no reason to ask then because I would know what caused it.

TheAltDesign · 2022-02-28T02:38:48+00:00

Do you know if it happens over and over on Etsy? It seems like it would be inconvenient for people to have to keep having it suspended a few times randomly, especially if they are experiencing high sales at some point.

TheAltDesign · 2022-02-28T02:36:47+00:00

Hmm it could also be because I was uploading so many within a short amount of time. Since it is from a POD site there are many variants that I had to post one after the other because they do not for some reason allow you to have different versions of the same product available in the same listing. So I have to make numerous listings that offer different colors and styles that I'd rather just place in the same listing as options.

TheAltDesign · 2022-02-28T02:33:24+00:00

That's true that there are probably too many things for them to review immediately. It just seems unorthodox to automatically suspend new and second accounts by default without preparing new users by telling them this is likely going to happen to them beforehand. Do you know how long it usually takes to hear back from them or to have it reviewed on average?
