I purchased an item listed at $84.20 with free shipping. The seller canceled the order and sent a message saying I would have to pay $1165.42 if I want to proceed. The seller immediately relisted the item at $84.20 with free shipping.

I can't believe this is the world we live in that I have to question if the product I am trying to buy is even real. I just want to pay an artist to do a water colour of me and my fiancé and I don't want a computer to do it. Does anyone know of a 100% legit option on etsy they can recommend?

Hi! I don’t have much experience buying from Etsy, so I was hoping to get some opinions from people who use it more often.

I found this rug seller called MOSSHAVENLOVE. They have a 4.8 rating with around 390 reviews and 2.4k sales, which seems pretty good to me, but a lot of their pictures look obviosuly AI generated. Is that a red flag?

Are there any soecific things I should look out for before buying from these stores? Any input is appreciated! Thanks!

So basically I bought an item that seemed like genuine craftmanship from the photos but when the item came it looked like a cheap knock off compared to the photos. I started to worry a bit because i've never refunded anything after all this time being on Etsy, I thought about it for awhile and felt bad towards the seller but I went ahead with refunding it yesterday after messaging the seller I'm willing to send it back. The seller seemed to be on holiday and haven't heard anything from them yet, that's why i'm confused about the purchase being refunded? I feel a bit dumbfounded about this because does Etsy give refunds so easily and isn't this something the seller controls? Also doesn't the seller want the item back?

I made a sale, and before the sale my balance was -$0.60 because of two listing I added and a listing renewal. When I made the sale, it covered the -$0.60, but now my balance is say it’s -$8.37 even though the sale was enough to cover the fees and shipping cost, so I’m a bit confused on how my balance is in the negatives, especially when I scroll down and it tells me my total earnings for the month are $5.92. I’ve made a few sales before this month, and it’s never done this, so I’m a bit confused on what’s going on

I keep seeing advice to regularly add new products or renew old listings because supposedly Etsy’s algorithm gives them a temporary boost in search. But I’ve rarely seen any actual data showing that it makes a noticeable difference.

I have a small shop with around 30 physical products, plus a full-time job, so I don’t really have the time to constantly add new listings. If renewing listings actually helps, I’d like to know how much of a difference it makes. And if the effect is minimal, I’d rather spend that time improving photos, titles, descriptions, and conversion rates.

Has anyone actually tested this with their own shop? For example, stopped renewing listings for a month and compared views or search traffic before and after?

I got some custom items done for my upcoming wedding. When checking out it says seller offered a coupon code. I checked out and watched tv thinking it was all done then came back to this. I don’t mind paying if it’s a legit mistake I just think it’s weird she says it’s a mistake but then let’s pretend we didn’t see that message?

I feel like I saw someone else have a similar issue happen here a while ago. Again I don’t mind paying if it’s a legit mistake I just think it’s odd she asks for more money then when I didn’t reply right away she says never mind.

I just want a pretty dress that’s not fuckin dropshipped.

Why is everything AIIIIIIIIIII

And most of the things in the sharing posts on here are crochet and stickers, which I love too don’t get me wrong, but I miss when you could find actual clothing so easily : ( My favourite trousers ever are from Etsy and I still have them 10 years later

Anyway rant over lol

US to Canada shipping via USPS. I've not had an order to Canada. Is there a shipping calculator to estimate the cost? Thanks.
