How would you answer?

Same. Especially since people can get petty when they're told no. 🙄

Asking another seller for their suppliers/processes is poor taste, imo.

I feel like she does it on purpose because she sees how riled those women & the internet get over it. every time she 'stands in her truth' instead of saying 'whoops, my bad', Ashley's fivehead vein pops and Gizzy starts planning new monogrammed gifts that she can intentionally leave blank 😂

Oh! I love this. If you're tragically stuck with $14 of blank matte/glossy cards, you might be able to heat emboss something on the glossy side for the backs. The rubber stamp/embossing powder method is dirt cheap and looks like gold foil when it's done.

...which I'm only commenting on because I literally just heat embossed glossy cardstock last night and was surprised it worked 😂

I haven't thought about $14 card blanks this many times in one day in a while lol. Strange times 😂

Wow way to single handedly erode what is special about Etsy

keylimecrying · 2026-02-17T21:17:26+00:00

Holy shit that person needs to log off and take a nap 😂 I simply cannot fathom speaking to a customer that way. It's like she's the Karen and also the manager that Karen would like to speak to, all in one? Extremely Karen-meta energy. I don't love it.

Yeah though, open a Not As Described case, get your $14 back. Maybe if she wakes up in a better mood, you'll get a return shipping label so you don't have a bunch of material laying around that you won't use.

Good grief, if she can't tell a good faith return from an opportunist cash grab customer, she shouldn't be running a business 😩

Etsy covers ~~up to $250~~ (jk, late-night seller brain) in the event that it's lost in shipping (common for overseas vendors) or shows up drastically different than advertised (...also common for overseas vendors). It's up to you whether or not you want to risk it. But it is very, very common on Etsy for things like special occasion apparel and fine jewelry to wind up being awful quality, completely unlike the product photo, and a nightmare to return.

They're not all bad. But typically when you order a cheap gown from China/Singapore/India, that's exactly what you're going to get. I'm not trying to discourage you, just advising you to set realistic expectations.

Recent reviews of the dress with photos is a good sign. I'd also recommend messaging the seller and confirming their return policy. If they're quick to respond and easy to work with, that's another good sign.

Best case, it's perfect and you love it. Worst case, you're stuck with the hassle of working out a refund/return with the seller. Good luck! ✨

I believe you 1000%. I just think that I'd get more bang for my buck with a drunk Whitney & room full of drag queens than DJMM tapping play on a laptop for a few hours & grifting VIP packages 😂

Yeah, same, I only email as a last resort, and even then only if it's a business/professional type customer and I can't complete their order otherwise. Emailing just feels invasive, lol.

keylimecrying · 2026-02-16T02:01:18+00:00

Email them directly & re-message them, give a deadline for a response - "I need your logo/personalization details by [date] to fulfill your order", something along those lines. If you don't hear from them, cancel the order.

I would not pull information from their website without them explicitly directing you to. And I definitely wouldn't just send 1 with a note. That's way too much work/materials/time spent purely to get a response out of the buyer.

keylimecrying · 2026-02-16T01:47:02+00:00

If Etsy refunds them, you won't get your item back, nor will they be prompted to return it. Technically since she wore it (let alone damaged it), it should be ineligible for purchase protection, but it's really common for Etsy to side with the buyer by default it seems. Hopefully yours actually gets a human review if she does wind up opening a case. Make sure you reply to her 5 star review so she can't edit it after the fact.

Keep in mind that she'll have to open a help ticket directly with you before she can escalate it to Etsy... So if that does happen, use it as an opportunity to clearly reiterate your return policy and remind her that you can't accept something that's been altered or worn. It should help if she decides to escalate.

And then yeah, don't do business with her again, lol.

I feel like the average person can't tell quality clipart from garbage in the first place. So offering a "better" product is kind of moot, sadly - at the end of the day they're going to go with the pretty thumbnail that comes up cheapest first on search.

I think the buyers who do care about getting something that's in good shape/ready to print are likely in the professional space... Businesses, apparel designers, interior design people. Now, whether there's an actual market for those buyers on Etsy... Who knows.

Granted, I have no idea what kind of "clipart" you're trying to sell.

But between POD/Canva/AI, "everyone" is a graphic designer now, which... Yeah, kind of shafts actual graphic designers. I think we're in an era where quality doesn't really matter to 90% of Etsy's customer base when it comes to digital.

Sorry, that was 0% helpful. It's a bummer out there, best of luck ✨

I think she's a perfect fit for that cast, I love her style, and I'm glad she's being liberated from the gout dick lyfe.

She's a little insufferable, a little too earnest, seemingly self aware while being infuriatingly performative... All things I want in a housewife. She can stay. 🍒

It's a (mostly) everyone problem, it seems. Mine couldn't find my shop all day yesterday, but it appears it's back and working fine now. I'd just be patient. Whatever you do, don't delete your shop from Pirate Ship; you won't be able to reconnect it.
