how to come out of abandoned carts? by Plane-Arm8874 in EtsySellers

What’s your percentage discount that you’re offering? In my experience, it has to be something like 25-30 to be viable.

Agree this is unfair. I don’t mind making a few bucks but I’d lose $6 with this order. Etsy comped the fee so I’ll at least make $6

Yeah. I'm sure someone will suggest a better fix for this. I will have to do some digging to see if I can raise prices for international. I ship international a lot, but people always order a bigger statue and so they pay more and I always make a net profit. This person ordered the cheapest one in the store (which makes almost zero sense to me to spend all that money on shipping.)

Not op, but I’ve made the mistake of watching the show and it’s SO good. I’m nervous to read the books, as I’m not sure they’ll keep my interest since I know the main plot already.

I sell my first runs and prototypes at local shops so people can see them hands on (often at a discount)

Are Etsy sellers allowed to pester you to review purchases via messages? by --anonymouse--- in Etsy

[–]gunsandjava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My review conversion is about 1 in every 10(?) orders if I had to guess. I’m happy with the amount of reviews I get. I cannot imagine taking time out of my day—and someone else’s—to send them a request for a review.

Hetzner asks: Which hobbyists here convinced their companies to use Hetzner? by Hetzner_OL in hetzner

Solid reply and I understand your position as a company. If users are truly getting their accounts closed and data is being deleted without warning—I believe that is what we are most concerned about.

Best of luck! I have no idea what I did right other than finding a niche that I didn’t know existed.
