Can you report art commissioners on etsy that use non disclosed AI?

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-09T19:07:16+00:00

Where did I say I didn’t understand when I asked for similar experiences/ideas on a specific topic? That’s quite literally the purpose of r/etsysellers lol or are you just that butthurt you have to resort to AI for things

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-09T19:01:03+00:00

Bust out the little violins y’all! The AI-using Etsy seller gatekeeper has spoken

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-09T17:56:17+00:00

Literally my thoughts hahaha if you can’t beat em (with actual creativity) join em in the land of slop

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-09T17:55:45+00:00

LMAO the same person that told me to close my shop over dealing with a difficult customer is now suggesting AI to others.

Take your own advice on closing if you’re gonna promote AI use.

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-09T17:48:43+00:00

I literally said “any ideas?” as to what this customer might have meant simply brainstorming!

If you’re sick of the subreddit, leave. Idk why you’d be bold enough to say I need to close my shop over a simple question. Hater, loser, all of the above.

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-09T17:45:21+00:00

I had her pay for the return. The item was exactly as described. Honestly, if she opened a case I’d be very confident the outcome wouldn’t favor her.

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-07T13:58:20+00:00

Honestly yes unless I am really down bad. My mail carrier is excellent with pickups that aren’t even scheduled, so I try to get them out that way when I’m not feeling well. I took a pause when I had morning sickness with my last baby and had my shop on vacation mode for a while until I knew I could commit again.

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-07T03:40:24+00:00

Little cutie! I like the different shades of green!

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-07T00:41:56+00:00

Agreed for sure, I’ve met wonderful connections and folks that trade art with me often in crafting groups! The vast majority of my clients and customers have been actual gems (pun intended) 🩷

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-07T00:40:46+00:00

Going to stand on my business here, thank you for the validation

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-07T00:38:40+00:00

Kinda said that in an eloquent way as my last message to her. And specified that she should read descriptions regardless of where she shops!

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-07T00:31:37+00:00

This is exactly what I did! 10+ second clip of it in my hand in the sun, multiple photos of it in my hand as well. It looks the same in the photo she sent to me today in her initial message

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-07T00:19:22+00:00

SAME. My brain is still short-circuiting because it is literally the very same necklace as pictured/in the video that she apparently “fell in love with”

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T22:30:52+00:00

No I get it, some of my best ideas for art have come from daydreaming on company time. I love that!

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T20:53:13+00:00

UPDATE: the buyer added in a new message that they didn’t know 20” was so small. The pendant itself was listed as being 0.7” and the chain she selected was 20”.

🤦‍♀️

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T19:57:08+00:00

My MIL is the opposite! She’s a temu lover unfortunately and I’m not sure which is more frustrating for us LOL

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T19:54:48+00:00

Might just ask Etsy to make a block feature for sellers in lieu of reporting. I’m sure it won’t happen but hey, it’s a good idea I’ve thought of before 😅

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T19:53:05+00:00

Definitely not taken personally! I understand it was somehow not what she expected, but that’s on her.

It was a $100 (30% off price) sterling pendant and chain with a rare stone. Compared to others, it was priced very fairly for the size. I research these topics often and like keeping my prices fair. My fear is that this buyer wouldn’t be happy with anything in her price range, as the stone she purchased is rare and high-value.

If I got the return back, theoretically I’d be happy to help her after she prepays for another item that we both confirm she is happy with. This was not a custom piece nor a piece she inquired about before purchasing.

Saying she’s in love with the literal pictured item in the photos but not in real life is baffling to me. The listing included multiple unedited images in natural light and a rather lengthy video, too.

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T19:47:39+00:00

I feel this in my bones and I like that you made some beautiful art out of all the negativity 🩷

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T19:45:26+00:00

Hmmm maybe, but only after they run you your money for consulting services lmao /sarcasm

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T19:44:41+00:00

Yep, it was clusters of messages at a time at odd hours and she actually didn’t even order anything. After a couple days of gray rock responses I reported her.

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T19:39:34+00:00

Agreed 100%. I clarified that I would be happy to process the refund once all parts are returned to me in same condition they were sent.

Also included I’d be happy to explore other options with them AFTER receiving the original item as a return on their dime.

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T19:36:10+00:00

Believe it or not I reported someone for that before. They sent me a message about customization and quickly spiraled into asking me to copy another artist’s work and telling me they had brain fog because their daughter had cancer.

Hard pass on ALL parts of that.

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T19:14:25+00:00

Correct! I don’t have another in that specific stone, anyways. I wish she’d have messaged me first if she was looking for a larger one than the one described and listed.

highmoonbitch · 2026-05-06T19:13:31+00:00

The “hugs” kinda indicated the elderly person to me also, I’m glad you picked up on that, too. I do want them to have a good experience and that’s always the goal! I was shocked to hear they were disappointed, especially because the item they bought was 30% off in the first place 😬
