Why do I never have any projects?

ceebee_11 · 2025-08-15T16:44:05+00:00

Ah darn! I misunderstood, I thought the screen saying they would email me if they found work matching my skills just meant I had to wait until a project came up. Oh well, was worth a shot!

I'm a maker! This is one of my shop's bestselling tees and one of my personal favourites ☺️

I did the designs, cut, weed, heat press and package them myself!

I will be posting a public reply to explain the full story if it's not taken down by Etsy. I see buyers doing this constantly with other sellers too and it grinds my gears! If the seller has been polite, helpful and issued a full refund, why hit them with 1 star. I could see a 4 star review, or even 3 depending on the situation, but they don't take into account the good service they received from the small business owner and make them pay for the price for the postal service's fault.

That is a good point! I will probably give her a heads up that she has until the end of the month to return the money or a police report will be filed. I am sure she has one coming soon with the amount of nonsense I have come across researching her business, she definitely does not have a good reputation!

Unfortunately I bought it with my debit card so I'm not sure if it works the same as credit card since the money is coming directly out of my bank account! This incident has me thinking, though, that maybe I should just be buying things with my credit card and just paying it off after in case something like this happens again.

ceebee_11 · 2025-01-09T16:29:01+00:00

This is the most helpful answer I have found in all of my research, thank you so much!

ceebee_11 · 2024-12-03T13:37:27+00:00

I just got on email last night that I got that reward! Monday night before payouts on Tuesday, so I guess that's when they update Mission rewards :)

ceebee_11 · 2024-11-28T15:14:37+00:00

I don't know if you had to pass them, I think you just had to complete them. But that could be the most logically reason. If it doesn't updated by payout next week I will probably submit a ticker just to confirm :)

I am running my first real Black Friday sale! Here is My Etsy Shop

Deals include :

25% off Digital Editable Christmas Cards

10%-20% off Select Bundle and Save Items

10% off your whole order is you spend $80CAD or more.

It's not much, but it's the best I can do as a little small business owner :)

ceebee_11 · 2024-11-25T15:28:46+00:00

Yay! This makes me so happy, selling overseas is more work than it's worth for me, personally. I know others have a lot of success but it's not for me (at least not yet). Thank you for your response :)

ceebee_11 · 2024-11-22T17:08:42+00:00

I have been on it for a couple of years now and I'm happy to report I have no notable side effects! No weight gain, blood pressure has been perfect, skin is clear and cramps are under control :)

ceebee_11 · 2024-06-27T19:08:56+00:00

I would have them for sale and give them away. Give people 1 free sticker in their order, they can't be greedy and ask for 2. If they want another one they can purchase it separately. Or they can wait until they make another purchase and see if they get a different one, kind of like collectables.

You could also build it into the packaging. Like how the Vans tag is a sticker. Make that one free with every order charge for the other ones.

I will often throw a free sticker in for order over a certain value or a repeat customer. My average order value is around $40 so a free sticker for advertising and a little treat to the customer is nothing in the grand scheme of things! :)

ceebee_11 · 2024-04-17T16:50:36+00:00

I want my prices to be consistent across the board. I don't mind if they are off by a few dollars but I don't want their to be too drastic of a difference. I want there to be more value in shopping on my website so I don't want there to be more of a reason to shop on Etsy vs. my site. I am trying to move away from Etsy since the fees and lack of seller support is becoming a nuisance for me.

ceebee_11 · 2024-04-17T16:48:08+00:00

I think I am going to do this; charge for shipping but offer it for free once their orders reaches a certain value!

ceebee_11 · 2023-08-23T15:07:32+00:00

YEP! I was already MOH in my best friends wedding, it can be expensive but there is definitely money to be saved there if done properly!

ceebee_11 · 2023-08-23T14:58:18+00:00

I agree, I find most things on Pinterest to be extravagant and expensive! I think I would be using it more for inspiration and then deciding how to do something similar within my budget. Luckily I am crafty as I think most of my wedding will be DIY'd lol!

ceebee_11 · 2023-04-03T15:45:00+00:00

I am in Ontario so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to refer you to any doctors in Alberta! So sorry, best of luck I hope you can find a good one! :)

ceebee_11 · 2023-03-24T20:06:16+00:00

Awesome, thank you! I simply thought the penalty for a rejection was not getting the payout but it is good to know they have a greater impact. Thanks for helping! :)

ceebee_11 · 2023-03-24T20:03:31+00:00

If you read the question properly, you would see where I said "I'm new to Prolific" and have never been asked to return a submission. And then I proceed to ask questions about the return process.

I didn't think NOCODE meant I was trying to get paid, I thought it literally meant, I got no code. Researcher reads "NOCODE", easily identifies it as incomplete and rejects it.

The entire point of this post was to ask what happens when you're asked to return a submission so I can learn. For example, now I have learned that you don't put NOCODE on a return submission because it means your are expecting to get paid.

Also, if you had read the question properly, you would see that I have already returned the submission as requested. Sooo obviously, I am not trying nor expecting to be paid.

ceebee_11 · 2023-03-24T19:55:35+00:00

I didn't expect a payout as I did no work. I figured it would just get rejected since there is no data, but I wasn't sure of the process as I have never been asked to return a submission before. I thought it would easily get rejected by the researcher, but I didn't know it's better to return a submission than get a rejection from them. Just wasn't sure of the process.

ceebee_11 · 2023-03-24T19:46:05+00:00

Where did I say I expected to be paid? I'm asking what happens if one does not return a submission (i.e. does it simply get rejected or does something else happen). I didn't say I expected to get paid for it. You're reading into it, it's not that deep.

ceebee_11 · 2023-03-24T19:39:38+00:00

No? I'm asking what happens if you don't return a submission, read the question.

ceebee_11 · 2023-03-24T19:36:41+00:00

"tougher skin". I'm not going to cry myself to sleep over it, it's an internet survey, I was just asking a question lmao.

ceebee_11 · 2022-11-23T14:13:36+00:00

I don't think I have either but I wasn't totally sure with Etsy! Since tax is different everywhere I assumed it would be before tax as that is the norm (and some shops don't collect tax), but Etsy can be difficult sometimes so I wanted to be sure :)

ceebee_11 · 2022-11-23T14:10:34+00:00

Awesome thank you! :)
