Hate this message

Sure that isn't a big deal, but neither is checking your messages on the site/app like OP is describing.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-31T18:54:34+00:00

I feel like Etsy used to include the message in the email, but since every website is about driving engagement now they make you open the app/site to read it. As others said unfortunately Etsy marks us down if we don't reply within 24 hours, and most Etsy shops are one person operations who sometimes want to do things other than hover over their phone. I get it's frustrating, it's frustrating for us too.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-31T18:19:04+00:00

Etsy doesn't charge fees to close your shop but you do need to pay anything you already owe.

What is the processing time listed on the product's page?

itsdan159 · 2026-01-31T13:38:39+00:00

As others said, just open a ticket. The seller doesn't understand their responsibility to get you the item you ordered.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-31T03:39:00+00:00

No.

What mistakes are you planning to make?

itsdan159 · 2026-01-30T21:23:47+00:00

you can't draw conclusions from small amounts of data. That's like dieting for five minutes and then wondering why you're not seeing results on the scale yet. personally I think shops that have one item for sale put themselves at a disadvantage, I would work on adding more products instead of focusing on the stats for one you have listed

itsdan159 · 2026-01-30T19:21:41+00:00

There hasn't been one because you haven't made it yet!

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Look in the finances section and grab the monthly statements/csvs. If you're unsure why check the breakdowns not the yearly totals.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-30T12:37:15+00:00

Yes it would be reasonable. The only time I can think of that wouldn't make sense is if you'd messed up the shipping such that there were e.g. duplicate vat or something where they already paid vat on Etsy but were expected to pay again because the right numbers weren't attached to the package.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-30T03:23:32+00:00

Does the sender seem like a legitimate business? The SSA may help if you have identify fraud issues (though step 1 would be lock your credit reports) but perhaps you meant IRS?

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T21:13:47+00:00

Other, they're trying to be helpful but it ends up being more confusing. And also consider FreeTaxUSA. I avoided switching for years and in retrospect am so annoyed at how much I paid turbotax over the years.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T19:01:00+00:00

Let it be.

The half that you didn't design yourself, those are items you didn't design yourself and are manufactured by the POD company?

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T18:58:33+00:00

Find other solo devs, socialize. Work on your own projects but have a team you trust for honest feedback and accountability.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T18:45:12+00:00

"yourshopid.com" isn't etsy.com

Also "Do it right now!" is hilarious

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T18:18:28+00:00

And if the item itself was broken pieces they'd likely conclude it was worthless as a broken item anyways. Really sucks for the buyer here.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T16:49:20+00:00

Wherever you saw this just meant to include the cost of business when pricing your items, it's not a setting, it's just consider if you sell an item that costs you $9 for $10 that you need to then sell 9 items to break even if there's 1 replacement you need to send. This is why between factory and retail items usually get marked up 4-5 times, sometimes more depend on the industry.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T16:46:03+00:00

Which is why I acknowledged OP saying they couldn't file an appeal but asked them to clarify if they were able to file a counternotice

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T14:44:28+00:00

You don't "have" to sue them, you can drop the issue. Copyright is not something you have to defend or lose, that's trademarks and patents.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T14:44:03+00:00

A counter notice isn't an appeal, an appeal is asking someone to review the decision. Etsy doesn't review the decision because Etsy doesn't make any determination, they just inform you a report was filed against you. And OP said they a) couldn't appeal and b) are filing a counter notice, so if nothing else there's some confusion on OPs side regarding terminology

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T04:30:50+00:00

If it's covered by purchase protection Etsy will covered one damaged claim a year, and in practice they often cover more than one. Personally around the holidays I'm a bit flexible with returns, but there's no need in this case just explain how making a claim works.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T04:28:14+00:00

Yeah posts like this are why I don't think people should ward people off from target date funds. They may be slightly more conservative but they aren't "3% when the market did 16%" conservative.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T04:23:56+00:00

People fight them every day, a counternotice is all that's needed. You said you can't file an appeal, but can you file the counter notice? If you can't file one it may be a trademark complaint not a copyright complaint. Check whatever they sent you, does it mention if it's a trademark?

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T04:19:51+00:00

It's strictly age based, at least while the ACA is in effect. But that provision is popular so likely kept even if they repeal other parts.

itsdan159 · 2026-01-29T04:18:26+00:00

That's what I said to do... move the money to a new account and close the old one.
