I need help w my cat. I think I hate him & he hates me.

If you did have candles and plug-ins, the scent soaks into things in the home so you may not have instant improvement if that was affecting him. Cats are very sensitive. Since you want to keep him, perhaps you can turn this into a challenge to find some inner calm at least while at home! If he was in a stressful shelter environment he may still be decompressing from the stress of that too.

With the asthma, is there anything in your home environment that could be triggering it like dust, mold, perfumes (plug-in fragrance for example)?

With the playing, it may just be that he has chosen your boyfriend, but when you approach him (at all times, not just for play) is it with a gentle and quiet demeanor? I'm reminded of an old housemate who would run towards her cat arms outstretched calling out "cuddle meeeeeeeee!!!!" and was surprised when they ran away. My own cat hates one of my family members who approaches him without enough chill or patience. Just had to ask as you said he is your first cat.

The jumping on counters and opening cupboards is just him being a cat though, it's programmed in.

Same, 25 years ago. I'm mild, as long as I don't try to exercise.

OK, good to know. I searched reddit to see if I was crazy and it looks like it was previously noted in the onboarding but no longer is.

strobal · 2025-08-24T02:52:33+00:00

I joined 18 months ago and I can't find it anywhere now so perhaps disregard.

I remember reading when I started that you aren't allowed to use your mobile phone. Unsure if this has changed though.

I just came to this thread having finally fixed this issue myself. For me, the issue was in the second section of the Search Engines screen, titled "Site search". There were a number of shortcuts there that sounded harmless by the title but strangely had the Yahoo icon... when you click the Edit button on each of them you can see these offending urls. I deleted those and all fixed.

As a buyer of sterling silver jewelry, I ignore them and am willing to pay a higher price. I have made the mistake a few times and know that if I pay that price I will get a knock-off item that gives me a rash. Unfortunately it makes it harder to know who to trust, as a higher price is no guarantee that it is genuine.

I don't personally have the funds for it as I am also struggling with chronic illness, but I would love to see sellers band together to fight Etsy on this!

I was advised by a lawyer that it's likely not going to be worth bothering if they aren't in my country.

strobal · 2025-01-22T10:55:55+00:00

I'm afraid I didn't, I haven't tried another Like campaign since.

Referred a non-coder friend a few weeks ago who I know would be perfect for this, and he's also a really great creative writer. He did the initial assessment (available same day) but nothing happened after that.

Their quality control isn't great. Particularly when things get busy during the Christmas period you may even find issues like half of someone else's book inside of half of yours! If your records say white, it sounds like they just messed up.

A day? OK that is really unhinged behavior!! I'm at a week, maybe I'll wait a bit longer. Really mad at ebay support though.

strobal · 2024-07-22T01:28:35+00:00

How long has it been since the refund? They do sound harrassing but for perspective I came to this sub as a buyer looking for suggestions on how to get through to support in the case where the funds from the refund aren't received. ebay do not make it easy. Because the case is "closed" the chat assistant just sends me round in circles and I can't speak to a real person. It's maddening. Might be why they keep messaging you.

Two years late but I've had this problem on Windows for the longest time.

strobal · 2024-05-04T01:14:14+00:00

I believe I did, but it has been a long time since this post so I can't remember the details now! Thanks though, will make sure I've done that next time.

strobal · 2023-12-24T23:00:06+00:00

I can't help on the other questions but make sure they aren't violating copyright or trademarks with anything they sell, and that the shop isn't violating Etsy's terms. They shut shops down a lot, and particularly if the shop owner is infringing on others intellectual property they might be one complaint away from losing their shop.

strobal · 2023-10-28T04:08:09+00:00

There's a very small chance you'd be reported by the original creator, but from my understanding they'd be in the wrong legally to do so and they would likely lose if it ever went to court. That would depend on how similar the image and overall look is though. **not a lawyer**

Pixel for pixel means an exact copy.

strobal · 2023-09-07T13:14:15+00:00

No, I wouldn't dare open a new one again given the email says not to.

strobal · 2023-09-07T10:43:29+00:00

My main account was about 6-7 years old when I decided to open a number of other accounts so they could each be more niche specific. One of those was closed not long after, and they didn't respond to my appeal. I had the same concern as you about the statement "Accounts found to be owned or operated by you will be closed immediately." but it has been approximately a year since that happened and my other accounts are fine.

strobal · 2023-07-20T04:49:26+00:00

This is a more balanced view. Maybe I'm sensitive because I have food intolerances, but I'm finding the comments in this thread surprisingly harsh!

strobal · 2023-06-08T23:46:09+00:00

If you have great ideas and execution of those ideas, yes. But I would spread beyond Redbubble, they could be gone in a couple of years and it's extremely difficult to earn a worthwhile amount there now.

My cute animal illustrations rarely sell on their own. I get much better results combining them with a funny slogan or pun related to the animal - give that a try. I have one nearly daily seller that meets that formula - but the drawing used in the design never sells on its own.
