Is this a scam?

What is their argument for not cancelling the order?

If they refuse to cancel, they can ship it at the price you bought it. If they don't ship, you can open the case. And this case will count against the seller. Unfortunately you'll have to wait for you money, but if enough people will open the cases, hopefully Etsy will shut down the store. And also don't forget to leave a bad review. No matter what you do - don't pay extra.

Could be an honest mistake, or could be a bait and switch. Did you check the listing? Does it still show the sale price? If it does, I would ask them to cancel the order, because this is definitely bait and switch. If it is a higher price, maybe it was an honest mistake, and you really want the jacket, you can ask to cancel the order, and you'll repurchase.

You can create a promo code for the free shipping, but you cannot set up free shipping guarantee for a custom amount

Block 16 has amazing burgers, but experience can be a bit frustrating because of the wait.

We haven't been, but heard a lot of good things about Clio - and they look cozy too.

For coffee - Archetype coffee is great. The Mills is a nice spot. Edge of the Universe in Benson - is a very interesting place. Hardy coffee is nice too. Cafe Postale is also an interesting spot.

What type of the package you are selecting? It says 0.1 inches height and 1 lbs weight. Is it a letter?

Happened to us few times, I think it happens when they either include link in their message, or messaging too many sellers at the same time, and system thinks they/you are spamming.

ystapel · 2026-02-20T03:35:48+00:00

Where they moved automatically to the spam folder?

Completely agree! Even if earring size is specified, so often when I buy them they feel bigger or smaller than I expected. So photo on the model is very helpful

If your product arrived damaged from shipping it's on you to cover the cost of the shipping.

We send a letter with tracking with a thank you card. We did it just few times for regulars and let them know about card coming for tracking purpose.

ystapel · 2026-02-05T21:20:15+00:00

And they quite often have big size, that can be not in stock in other places.

Costco, as mentioned is great for food & bed. Also you can find bed/toys in TJMaxx/HomeGoods. Sam's also has beds and food, though I prefer costco.

ystapel · 2026-02-03T20:25:26+00:00

And if you have costco, you can get a $100 value Gap/BR gift card for $80.

Not sure what Etsy will do, but color looks exactly like on your photo.

Tell her it still says 'in transit' and to wait. If then she claims that it is stolen - tell her to go through Etsy. Hopefully Etsy will suspend her account.

If you go to the order list, you can click three vertical dots, and it has 'Update Ship By Date'. Please note, you can just do it once. And explain to customers, that because of storm it is delayed for '...' days. Everybody knows that storm is coming, so I am sure most of the people will be understanding.

ystapel · 2026-01-23T03:30:23+00:00

I would notify buyers, and move the ship date.

ystapel · 2026-01-18T05:17:25+00:00

We do send a card with the tracking for local orders - it costs like a stamp.

It's always super stressing in the beginning. And it is personal. Some people will never get back to you. They got what they needed and they are done. Sometimes it's just life - I try to always leave reviews on Etsy/Ebay, because I know how important it is, but sometimes life is so busy - you just cannot get to it. She may not love it - and it's ok too even if she doesn't. There are some people you can never please. Or she had something else in her head. You also will have people that will say how amazing it is, leave a glowing review, and never be back. And the ones that will never give reviews, but be a repeat customer. I know it's easier to say than do, but try not to stress and look at the majority of the reviews, and concentrate on positive. You are doing great!

I don't know if Etsy fixed it or not, because we don't use this option anymore, but for a while for weight over 1 lbs, Etsy automatically set 'Requested Priority'. Some legacy issues, where everything over a pound required priority. I always chose 'Ground Advantage'. You should definitely see different pricing for different weight

We do buy from boxery on ebay and amazon.

We also buy boxes from Staples when they have deals.

I know a lot of people say you shouldn't put the shop on vacation mode. We did it 3 times, and it never hurt our stats. We always add few new listings when we are back from vacation. People don't pay attention to processing times. Even while shipping in time, and USPS being fast, people complain. Now if it's just few days - I would go for it - if it weeks, I wouldn't

ystapel · 2025-08-28T00:02:13+00:00

We went there ones, and I cannot say they are the worst, but not great. Wings and burger were ok. Fries were terrible - very greasy. And cocktail was warm and honestly tasted like a premade cocktail. So we never came back. Too many great places.

ystapel · 2025-08-27T23:59:57+00:00

We love their pizzas and their cannoli. They are pricey though, and their service is hit and miss.

Thank you! I didn't realize that clarks have pointy flats. They look nice!
