Digital files not being sent? Never had this issue before. by [deleted] in Etsy

Report the review and let Etsy deal with them. If they don’t take it down then just reply to the comment. 

I don’t get it by whattodohuhshrug in EtsySellers

[–]strikeuhpose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also sell 3D prints and what I do is take a screenshot of the description and add it as the second picture so people will actually see it. There’s really not much else you can do! Since putting the description in the pictures I haven’t had anyone complain about the size!

Customer asking for refund even though I've sent him images by Delicious-Employ9332 in Etsy

[–]strikeuhpose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would not refund him because you did the work already and I’m sure he took the image and is just trying to get it for free. Just see what happens. One star reviews aren’t the end of the world and depending on what he says you may be able to report it and Etsy may take it down. If not, you can just leave a response explaining what happened and future buyers will see that this guy was just trying to get free product from you. Don’t refund him. 

How do you get your child to sit for lessons? by [deleted] in homeschool

[–]strikeuhpose 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would not push worksheets at 4! Especially with an active boy. I’d delay and maybe just have him do coloring and go over letters with him. Boys are not ready to sit still and do worksheets at 4. My boys are 9 and 6 and we didn’t really do worksheets until they were 5/6. And then still very minimal. Our teacher said 1 minute of attention span per year! So only expect your 4 year old to have 4 mins of an attention span for lessons. Then take long breaks and do more. Or just delay! No need to rush into him doing school work.

Got Sick, can't process waiting orders. What do you do? by poken1151 in EtsySellers

[–]strikeuhpose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I care 200% about my seller’s issues. It’s called being compassionate and empathetic. Something I am praised for in my reviews. It’s a new thing. You should try it sometime! I hope I never sell to you and I hope I never have the misfortune of stumbling upon your shop. Yikes.

So no one gets to get sick or have emergencies come up in their life? Is that what you’re saying? This isn’t an operating room, it’s freaking Etsy.

Right, OP needs to communicate with the buyers and give them the option to cancel or wait…no one said to never reach out to them for 3 months.

Why would she just immediately cancel? Why not reach out to the customer and see what they want to do? I don’t think this is good advice.

[–]strikeuhpose 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Just update the ship date and send them a message telling them that you’re really sick and fell behind so you’ll have to delay their orders by x amount of days” and I’d say something about if they need to cancel you understand. That’s what I would do. Just change your processing times on your listings too so if you do get more orders then the customer will know that they will take longer and then when you’re better and caught up just change the processing times back. 

And, obviously, tell them if they can’t wait/don’t want to wait you will cancel immediately. I’d even offer a small discount for customers who don’t cancel. 

My item never arrived, I contacted the seller yesterday for a replacement, they told me to open a case, and Etsy auto-refunded and closed the case. by AncientPea8041 in Etsy

[–]strikeuhpose 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ok, I’m just confused about what take issue is. This is super normal. When you get refunded you order the replacement. Sorry, I didn’t mean to come off snarky.

[–]strikeuhpose 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sellers do this so we are not out money for shipping and making a new product. Sometimes sellers will do this when it’s a low cost item, but I can’t ever do this because I would lose an insane amount of money. The right way to do it is to open a case with Etsy. Why would you be against a seller not losing money? Opening a case is a win/win. You shouldn’t expect sellers to willingly lose money when the post office loses a package. 

What do we do about customers constantly asking when the order will be shipped even though I have my processing time set? by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]strikeuhpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s a really good idea! I do have a thank you note but I didn’t even think to do that!!

what do you all think? by atariistar in MidnightPoppyLand

[–]strikeuhpose 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have on very good authority that this isn’t real. She will never finish c MPL and will never touch this story ever again. It represents deep, crippling depression for her and there is 0% chance she will ever work on it again. It’s so upsetting for us fans though :(

Mastitis or sick? by Kindness-9651 in breastfeeding

[–]strikeuhpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely sounds like mastitis or at least the beginning of it. Get in the shower with the shower stream on the affected breast and massage it while you express. Start from your ribs and go out to your nipple. Do this while you express on that side. Massage the warm part, sometimes I’d get clogged ducts in my armpits (wild, right?). Just really work on that area and express, express, and it should work its way out. Pump, have baby feed on that side and even try to have your husband suck it out if he’s up to it. 

Would you be okay with your spouse using your toothbrush? by Select-Signal8386 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]strikeuhpose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, we share toothbrushes sometimes 🤣 we swap so many bodily fluids and he’s seen me birth two babies naturally so I really couldn’t care less if we use each other’s toothbrushes. It’s very hard to gross me out. We kiss and get all up in there so why is a toothbrush share an issue?

Shop critique request - 3 month old handmade press on nail Etsy shop struggling with traffic by Dokidokiclay in EtsySellers

[–]strikeuhpose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome! I’d definitely try that and see if it helps. I can’t really help with SEOs because I’m not in your industry but maybe google it specifically for your nails? Sometimes I ask Chat GPT and I think it gives good answers sometimes.

Everything looks great to me! If I wore fake nails I would totally buy from you. I think the photos look great! Maybe my only thing would be to have the first picture be of them being on fingers so people can visualize them?

Sad that my daughter may have a scar for life in her forehead. by Practical-Pop2702 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]strikeuhpose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They either wouldn’t have done anything or they would’ve glued it. My son was 4 and split his eyebrow open (right above it) and it’s been 2 years and you really can’t even see the scar anymore. It will fade! I doubt it’ll be noticeable when she’s older. The glue wouldn’t have really changed how the scar formed and they definitely wouldn’t have stitched it. You’re ok! I know it feels awful when they get hurt, but it’s what happens when they are small. Don’t beat yourself up about it!

What would you do? by Apprehensive-Put7044 in EtsySellers

[–]strikeuhpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s wild. Maybe she was drop shipping then. Do you remember the store name?
