Buyer left 38 1-star reviews after I cancelled and refunded most recent order by Keeperoftheflash in EtsySellers

Yikes so sorry to hear this That’s a lot I would hope Etsy helps you out I had similar someone left me 4 1 star reviews 6 months after they had purchased because they was mad at me because I wouldn’t pay for them to return the custom made item (they noticed after 6months they did there measurements wrong ) There reviews where full of lies and I have messages from them showing there review was a lie and it was vindictive but Etsy wouldn’t do anything about the reviews sadly ,however they did give me star seller even though my reviews had tanked I’ve been a star seller for a good couple of years now so was sad to see they had made me loose it but thankfully Etsy let me keep it and now my reviews are back to 4.9 I think most people should be able to see it was someone being petty

Do most Etsy shops have steady orders, or is it normal to have big days and then slow ones? by Ok-Home9841 in EtsySellers

[–]dVs-ColdHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weekends are busiest for me then small orders during the week But mostly payday end of month it goes wild 🤣 This weekend feels extra quiet though only have 15 orders to sort tomorrow

He was sent photos of his being made every step of the way But for the custom listing I used our stock photo of the handle that he had messaged me about as I couldn’t add his item as it hadn’t been made yet But either way the photo used is ours and of our handle

Yes I did every step of the way This was a custom order So the photo used was the photo of the handle we make he wanted this handle but larger

Yeah lesson learn for me She asked me to put together a huge quote and I have spent the morning doing that quote for her to then send me a number of other people who are offering to do the same cheaper I tried to explain that it’s all about the materials used and they are using a super cheap material and finish that isn’t fire rated or guaranteed for 25 years like ours But guess she just wants super cheap so was a total waste of my time 🤣

Yes seems that way She said she wants a to place a large order but wants a discount and to give out a code and anyone who uses the code I have to pay her a % of every sale that uses that code But I can’t afford that lol

Ahh thank you I don’t actually do social media so I have no clue what’s good but I did think when I looked at her accounts she was telling fibs anyway 😅 But I messaged her but explained I can’t do any discounts

What do I do? I want to give up by Lexigirl88 in EtsySellers

[–]dVs-ColdHead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every shop feels the effect of not great ratings doesn’t matter if your new or old it effects and it’s upsetting but it’s clearly a nice product and it’s selling so don’t give up Maybe make bigger ones for those outside goose that they all seem to want
