We are big supporters of Etsy's improvements. They are doing a marvelous job at setting new parameters to give the customer a better experience. Love that they have been closing inactive shops and cracking down on blatant copyright/trademark violators. Etsy is looking less and less like a garage sale. The $15 startup fee doesn't seem like much, but it is a lot for foreign shop owners that had been in the habit of opening multiple shops a day and stealing designs from honest shops. Hats off, Etsy.
Yes I think in the long run all of these changes will be for the best 🎉
$15 is not a lot for anyone no matter where they love don't kid yourself, your too quick to talk about foreigners
$15 can be a lot for even people in US. Maybe not you but someone starting it sure can be!!
Your channel is just the best out of all POD channels I’ve watched. So informative and clear, no nonsense. You add so much value to the audience. Thank you so much Cassiy.
Wow this is just such a kind comment and really means the world to me that you feel that you are getting good value from my videos ❤️ wishing you all the best on this journey!
Thanks, Cassiy, for all that you do! I enjoy being part of your POD Roadmap course and am always amazed at how much support you provide our group! Yes, I guess people can build a business without a course, but the support I personally have received has encouraged me to continue when I may have otherwise tossed in the towel. I know that my business has grown faster because of the lessons learned through the course. There are so many perks....my newest "favorite are the trend reports! They are amazing! I can't say "thank you" enough.
Wow you are literally so sweet for this comment
YES!! Beware of the Economy shipping!! They send via DHL and it takes 10-12 days, not 5-8 as advertised! We view Printify 100% as a partner, so we have shared this info with them, so that they can improve the Economy shipping option.
Yes I personally think the faster shipping times are well worth it and I won’t be using the economy shipping myself!
Thanks Cassiy for these updates. Very helpful. For anyone thinking about signing up for the POD Roadmap, I highly recommend it. I am brand new to print on demand and her coaching POD Road Map is a game changer. I found all the courses to be very well organized, easy to understand, and if you are like me and need to re-watch it, guess what, you can. I find myself referencing back to her courses often. Cassiy is the "REAL DEAL" and not just here today and gone tomorrow. She sincerely cares about her students and continues to provide support and that comforting ear to listen when you start doubting yourself or listening to Negative Nellies.
Thank you for the super nice comment
PRICELESS as always!!! Thank you Cassiy! U DA BEST!!!☺🙏🙏🙏
Really appreciate that Ami, thanks for watching
I have been watching your videos for several months now and you have convinced me to open an POD Etsy store. Month 3 and no sales yet but lots of views, wish I could talk with you to see what I am doing wrong, and what I can improve, I am considering using my UA-cam fan base to see if any of them are interested in my store. I am not giving up. Thanks for your videos. you R😎ck!
Thanks for all your help Cassiy Made my 1000th sales after 7 months with over 2k shirts sold. Your lessons have been awesome
Let’s go!!! You are killing it. That’s so close to when I hit 1000 sales in my store. Once you get the momentum you have, crazy stuff is going to happen 🔥 I would set a goal of putting up a few hundred listings for Halloween and maybe even up to 500 for Christmas and it is going to be crazy for you!
Before that, personalized stuff and group orders for this spring/summer can be game changers! Just saw some custom mom/dad shirts that are getting 60-80 orders per DAY right now with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day coming up 😍
I’m rooting for you so come back and let me know how things are going for you throughout the year!
@@CassiyJohnson wow fantastic I just took a screenshot of this and start planning Ideas for these. Thank you so much
You were also kind enough to help me recently with the suspension of my new shop, so new it wasn’t even open yet. Thanks to your advice, I went directly to the BBB and within a couple of days Etsy responded and activated my shop. Thank you very much for your prompt response, I so appreciate all of your time. Keep up the great videos!
So glad to hear that my advice was helpful and you are back up and running
Heck yeah! I saw that jean jacket and immediately slapped some art onto the back of it. I'm excited to create more designs for it. As always, great, informative content!
I hope you get some sales on it!! It is super heavy and nice quality
Thanks so much! Appreciate the update/news. 🙏🏼
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching ❤️
Thank you for these updates! Super helpful 🙏😁
Cassiy thank you so much, great up to date information
Great ideal to do a POD news round-up. Nobody else is doing this!
So glad you liked it ❤️ I’ve seen a few other channels do stuff like this before but I think it’s a good idea as well!
Glad I found your channel! Great teaching, Great Voice, Perfect Eyebrows (making sure you're with me, although true!) Lol God bless you!
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful.
Hello Cassiy. Thank you for the informative video as always! I have one established shop already, and would like to open a second shop. Could I still get suspended? I’m more worried about my already established shop. Would appreciate your thoughts.thank you ❤
Great Video! I used to watch several other Etsy sellers here on UA-cam, but their content became soooo boring, it’s like hearing the same thing on and on, and they want to cover this with a loooot of editing. I like that your content is clear and to the point. Also, congratulations on your edits; they are on point.
Really appreciate your comment! I really do try to bring value with every video I create ❤️ thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the updates. My account got suspended a day after opening it, while I was uploading listings. Etsy didn’t give me an explanation why they suspended my shop. And I can’t contact them forever. I contemplated on opening a new one before I saw your video and decided to email them again mentioning BBB as my next step. We shall see if I get a response from them and hope it’s a favorable one 😅
Awesome as usual! Thank you Cassiy!
You are so welcome, thanks for watching!!
I love your channel! So informative!
I am about to open my Etsy shop and was wondering if it would be better to use my account that I have used to buy items for the past 12 years or start a new account instead. I wasn’t sure what was better since it sounds like new accounts are being suspended but I also heard that Etsy tries to help new accounts/sellers by giving them a boost and it doesn’t look good to have an account open for a long time and no sales?. Seems like I will be paying $15 either way but I wanted to make the right choice.
My daughter is using my UA-cam account so this is her picture/channel (just wanted to mention that😂.)
I would open a new account with a new email! It's nice to have your own personal account and customers can email you on the email you opened the account with so I'd use a business email that you're cool with people seeing
Super-helpful video. Thank you!
Thank you
Great content, as always, Cassie! 😊
Really appreciate the nice comment
Excellent channel Cassiy! I have been on Etsy with POD for about 6 weeks, no sales yet but it will happen! Do you still personally evaluate Etsy seller accounts? I'm at the point where it might be a good idea to make sure I'm on the right track with everything. Can you share how to do this? Thanks!
that was totally inspiring to see the jean jacket. Ive been seeing it in the catalog but kinda not thinking about it a lot cuz I wasn't having much inspiration coming even tho I know its got HUGE potential. Seeing it totally helped get the creative juices flowing, thx! :)
I haven't tested actually selling it but I think there are some niches that it could do really well in so you never know!! I love the sample so far and can't wait to film my review of it
So great, thanks~!
Thank you🎉
Not sure if this has already been said in the comments regarding creating multiple art boards in Kittl, but I’ve been duplicating them by right clicking on the art board number at the top, choosing copy, and then going to the empty space next to the art board and choosing paste. Then you can delete anything that you don’t want duplicated, or you can obviously, keep it duplicated and change it in any way that you want to make scalable designs. I hope this is helpful.
That is helpful! I didn't see a copy and paste button but I didn't try click up there, thanks for the tip
I recently opened my shop, I have a question on pricing. When I look at the cost + shipping and fee's to set the price there is no way I can offer a shirt for some of the prices I see for similar items. I do not understand how a shirt can be 8.99 or 12.99 when the cost of the shirt allow is 10. Are others selling at a loss? I know that I can join Printify for a lower shirt cost but even then I could not retail for what I see others doing. Any insight on this would be wonderful. How do I cut cost so I can have competitive pricing? I absolutely love all your post and it is so encouraging. Thanks for all you do!
I really appreciate your posting. I have been trying to finish my Etsy set up but I have been frozen during the initial setup of my account. I reached out for help and I did get a repl. I responded to their questions but know resolution just yet.
Please keep us updated
I put a link in the description to request a call directly from Etsy! Feel free to try that if you have a US phone number
i would like to get in to print on demand is it good to go with etsy and printify if not why if some one can put me in right path please
I really like your videos. I am so busy with my 9-5 job but I like the POD Roadmap so I will be signing up soon. I really need your help. I reopened an Esty store and a new one I just created a couple months ago.
i love the new artboard feature in kittl. i currently have both kittl and canva paid but want to drop one pay. what would you all keep? i find that i like things in both and wish they had all the same functions equally. i am trying to decide which one to do free and which to pay.
I am still newer to Kittl and haven't been able to find every feature I would want on there just yet so if I had to pick just one then it would be Canva
Any thoughts on Kittl terms of service where they own not only the end design, but anything you upload? And that they need to be credited on any commercial use?
Hi Cassiy! Thanks for the updates. I noticed there are so many AI’s on Etsy and they clearly do not represent the product! I’m trying to find real models. Is there a way to filter? Right now I’m going through so many individual items to try and find real products. I wouldn’t find the AI people if the product actually looked real.
Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this, you’re saving a bunch of people so much time of research!
Qq - if you were to sell your - usually POD - products in a local in person market, would you still use Printify as a supplier? If not - do you have recommendations? Thank you!
I have never tried selling in person before but in theory you could order quite a few of your own items directly on Printify and then sell them in person! Most local suppliers I have found cost more than Printify does, so unless you want to get into printing them yourself then you could give that a try if you wanted!
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you!!!
I just opened my shop a couple weeks ago for the first time. I felt like I was going through an interrogation! No doubt, Etsy now knows more about my than the United States government. Good lord. I hope it was worth it.
@cassiyjohnson Is there a way to purchase the monthly trend report separately without having to purchase your entire course?
No so sorry this is only a perk for my course members! As an alternative, I do have my niche calendar that is available that goes over 45 different niches that sell throughout the year and when to post for them that may be helpful for you. It's on my site if you want to check it out! Cassiyjohnson.com
Hi Cassiy, I am terrified of bad reviews at the beginning of my shop's startup. I had friends who wanted to support me and ordered from my shop, but my first sales had issues like bad prints and lost items. If your first orders get a bad review, isn't your shop then doomed to face more challenges in getting started (I use Printify)? Did you ever experience something like this in the beginning of your journey? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all this questions!
I love your channel and never miss a video!! I’m hoping for some clarification… I have a brand new shop with an almost nonexistent budget to buy a ton of samples, so I’ve bought a few whole shop mockup bundles on Etsy. Are they all useless, now?
I’m super persnickety about choosing a mockup for my designs, for the very reasons you stated. For example, many of the t-shirt mockups out there for specific t-shirts, aren’t even close to what the actual t-shirt looks like (the sleeves are too long or short, the neckline is off, the texture is missing, the cut and color is off, etc.). So I end up only finding a handful from each bundle that I can use, and usually stick to the most realistic flat, hanging, or no model options.
I even created a few myself, using AI, which took a hundred or more rolls to get the aforementioned details right. I then spent another few hours on Photoshop for each of them, often correcting any flaws (AI weirdness), pixel by pixel. And all that’s before I spend the time to place my design on the mockup, again using photoshop and Illustrator to get everything as realistic as possible. So I go to great lengths to only use mockups that truly represent what the customer will receive.
Is this still a no-no? Or, is this new rule really mostly speaking to the sellers who don’t bother to make sure that their mockups represent the actual product they’re selling? Because, in fairness, I’ve noticed a sea of listings on Etsy which break every one of my persnickety rules- the design isn’t sized or placed properly, the color is way off, the item in the mockup doesn’t represent the specific product, and most cringe of all, a design that seems to be flat and floating way above the item itself.🤯😂
If you think the mocks you are using accurately represent the product then you are good, but not everyone will jump through the hoops you have! I usually just buy my mockups on a one time basis to really curate just the best of the best personally but have bought plenty of whole shop bundles I'll never use as well, welcome to the mockup addict club LOL
@@CassiyJohnson You’re the best!! Thank you for replying so quickly; you just stopped a possible panic attack in the making, lol! I kinda figured and was leaning towards your common sense answer. But I’m really new to Etsy and have put several months of work and research into it, so I definitely don’t want to get shut down, before I get anywhere with it.😫😉😂🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your help. I was able to use the link and speak with someone from Etsy but was shut down. I will give it a few more days but likely will need to go the BBB route. I spent a considerable amount of time and money setting up business banking, an LLC etc and was still shutdown during the setup process before completing 2FA. I find it wildly frustrating but I am sure there is light at the end of the tunnel.
So sorry that you are going through this right now! I hope that these tips will help you get it back asap
Please keep us updated
When did this start? This whole suspension of new accounts had added to my procrastination to open one ☹️
@@CassiyJohnson Thanks again for the video. I got it back. BBB was the trick.
@@Christine-vc6rv So glad I could help!!
Please please please can you address the issue with District Photo printing crooked prints? What other print providers other than Printify do you recommend?
Great videos as always.
I hadn’t heard of this issue lately, is it happening with certain products?
Thanks for all your hard work. I would love to see an update of printify providers' video. I met awkward styles thanks to you, lol.
Would you want anything particular? I’m releasing a new arrivals video next week for some random products but are you wanting another review of say the same shirt by a bunch of providers to compare again? Thanks for the suggestions ❤️
I have one question please tell me . i live in India and i want to start dropshipping from printfy and sell products on etsy but i m unable to sell physical goods on etsy how can i do that without having any inventory or something else
Always wonderful
Thank you
Hey Cassiy is your course focused on selling shirts? I ask because I don't sell shirts. Thanks.
It's not only for shirts but that is the example I use a lot in the tutorials. I am actually working to completely redo the course in the next few months and am going to revamp it so that it is less shirt specific and do deep dives on quite a few products. Feel free to email me what products you are specifically selling and I can let you know if I go over those at all already!
@CassiyJohnson that sounds great! I'm actually working through product catalogs right now, trying to identify higher- margin products that could fit my niche well. Then i'm going to research my shortlist to determine which ones have the best sales potential. So I haven't decided yet but examples might be blankets, wall art, metal signs. Possibly premium eco-friendly apparel such as oversize hoodies or hooded blankets.
thanks for all your help. i don’t post often but thanks. i filed with BBB and after more than 15 appeals, i finally got my account back but i dont know if i want to continue. sales are low, no profits, frustration and im just tired and discouraged. 😢
I am so sorry that this has been your experience! I hope it doesn't deter you from trying to start a business on the side of some sort as it can really add so much value to your life to have an additional income, whether it's Etsy or not!
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you Cassiy. I will keep trying with the Etsy, hopefully, my luck changes soon.
TREND Report is really AMAZING !!!!!
Really appreciate that
How you ordered the sample from printify?
You go into Printify, save the design on the product and save as a draft if you haven’t already published it, then go to the orders page and at the top you’ll see a button for a manual order!
Question I noticed a lot of Etsy Seller on UA-cam promoting making the size 5000 x 5000 on Canva to have better quality but when I resize it to 5000 from what it’s supposed to be on print on demand, the whole design gets ruined now is it best to make the exact size from print on demand or uploading it with the 5000 x 5000 because then I have to redo my design
I think you can do the size the product recommends for things like shirts and such but some other products you may need to make it larger but maybe in a better proportion to the size of the design, like if you are designing for a rectangle, then maybe just make a bigger version of what's needed for the design. As long as it say "high quality" for the file when you upload it to Prettify though then you are good! So try the actual size that Printify recommends and see how it is!
@@CassiyJohnson got it . Ok I’ll go back to that. 🙌🏽💐thank you .
I just had my momentum to keep produce my own artwork. Yesterday i got my first sale after 4 months open my etsy shop. Suddenly today at 8am, my etsy shop was suspended permanently. Idk how to describe what i feel 😕 with no reason? Yes permanently suspended officially
Cassiy, Clarity please... If I have an existing "account, 2 shops", then if I wish to open a 3rd shop, I do not have to pay the $15 fee? That's only for new account, Not new shops?
I am not actually sure, I bet it is actually for each new shop if I had to guess!
Random question but do you ever have people reach out wanting to buy one of your designs? If so, do you sell it? Wondering what the pros and cons would be for this.
I have had lots of people ask over the years and I almost always say no because I don't want people selling it online as well. The one time I said yes was because they wanted it for a Bach party that weekend and I couldn't get shirts delivered to her in time so she made them herself. You would definitely need to be clear that it was for personal use only and not commercial use.
Thanks for responding! This helps so much. I have really enjoyed learning so much from all your videos.
Hi,can i make a full income from pod shirts store on etsy? It is worth it?
Hi!! cassiy I have a digital and physical product shop and I want to open another one just for print on demand is that ok I m scared if I do that Etsy suspend my account please reply to me😊
I think Etsy is completely fine with you having multiple shops! They just don't allow you to have two shops for the same product, but it sounds like they would all be completely different things. I would say though that if you could combine your POD store into your physical store, it may be better than starting completely from scratch.
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you so much for your reply! my shop has a digital and POD so that don’t encourage customers to buy a physical product from me that why I want to separate them
I live up in Canada. I just started my second shop, and the same thing happened. $20 in, Suspended, Appeal, Immediate email. I have got information it might take around 8 days after the appeal.
ugh so frustrating, sorry this happened but hopefully the advice I'm sharing will help you get it back asap!
I thought canva has adjust color tone which could distress the colors, but maybe it was just similar to Kittl's distress option
Kittl's distressing will actually put holes in the design so you will be able to see the background of say the shirt through the design, there are some hacks that you can do to get this effect in Canva but not without another software
GREAET VIDEO! Wiosh I watched it sooner....I opened a shop on etsy on the 9th and it was suspended in 5 minutes...No explanation no email nothing.. I appealed and no response so far. Still waiting.
Etsy is rife with scammers on their platform, and no customer service number, just email supposedly for security but it has the opposite effect and with no response from a real person it is a nightmare.
I really don't like businesses that have poor customer services such as not being able to talk a real person and get actual answers.
I totally agree! I do have a link in the description for you where you can request a call directly from Etsy if you have a US number though if you need it!
I have been having such a hard time creating a second shop. I keep getting it shut down before I even go through all the steps. I have created multiple different emails and even had my friend try it for me and I immediately get suspended when I put my bank account information in. I don’t understand the problem.
If one gets suspended, then you need to try to get that one back. They will just suspend any new shop you open up after that. Go through the appeals process and get the second one you opened up back and then you should be good to go!
@@CassiyJohnson I did an appeal. I wrote what you said in the video about it but It didn’t work, I will try again. Thank you. This makes sense.
Do you get charged for the gift message or does your customer get charged the 15 cents?
You get charged for this!
@@CassiyJohnson worth it!!
I've been paralyzed for over a year making the move to open an Etsy POD. There's so much more to it than I first realized. And I hope you see this and can answer- does anyone know why these suspensions ae happening? is it AI, like something Etsy has automated now and it keeps messing up? The suspensions have almost scared me off.
Yes I think it’s just automated systems trying to keep out scammers but catching innocent sellers in the mix on accident!
I’ve purchased the niche calendar twice and have yet to receive it. I’ve even checked my spam folder.
Send me an email from the email address you are using to purchase and I'll send it to you if the purchase has gone through! My email is on the contact page of my website Cassiyjohnson.com
This account suspension happened to me this weekend. 👎 same day it opened.
I am trying to figure out how to create some political type items. But maybe on the line of cross niching with that theme. I realized I really don't understand what's allowed and what's not. For instance, people have told me that flags are okay to use. But why wouldn't for example the American flag be Copyrighted or Trademarked. I see it inside fonts, as. Background, etc... Is it really alright to use the flag, the colors, etc. Also, someone suggested listening to the speeches and taking anything funny and creating something around it. How do we know for sure those lines will not be Copyrighted. For example, years ago when daddy Bush was president there was a saying he did in his speech that really was out there for years. It was something like "Read my lips no more taxes". Or something like that. I've heard it so much I really tried to forget it. But at least part of it stuck even after all these years. My question is, wouldn't that be Copyrighted and not able to be used. How about the Trump and Biden flags people are selling and people are buying to put in their yards 3" X 5" size. Thanks for any response.
Can you create a esty seller account for me.
Please help! How did your student find the Etsy phone number to contact? I am in the same position and would love to be able to contact them directly before going through with a complaint with BBB.
I put a link in the description that you can click to request a call from them, it does only work if you have a US number though!
@@CassiyJohnsonthank you so much!!
@@CassiyJohnson actually I got a callback on it, and I'm in Australia. Didn't do any good though.
Hi Cassie, can you do a video about how to design on the new items like the glass sipper cups.also with the new comfort colors pocket tee. It costs more to make so if we charge more In our shop for it and our Bella t shirts are less won’t customers have a problem with that? Also can you do a video about loss leaders. How much of a loss should we really take?
What about Mock-ups from PlaceIt?
Personally I don’t like using placeit mocks as again they aren’t actually photos of the exact product you are selling, unless you can find some that are specifically the right products that you’re selling like a Bella 3001 shirt for example.
Economy is NOT worth it for the tiny savings. Ordered a sample April 21, expected delivery May 4. However on April 27th it was in my town. (Per tracking) so with that said it looks like it’s going to sit locally till the 4Th. I see no logic for that.
Yea I think it's just too long to wait for the savings as well
I just opened, and they suspended mine. I decided not to try to get it back. I've decided I don't need the hassle, or worry about them doing again, and they ignore you, don't help, or assist you, and won't tell you why they suspended you.
Same here...."after thorough review...that's it...good-bye." It literally took 3 minutes from the time of suspension and their "thorough review" to be concluded. I've filed the appeals every 2 weeks just as a FU to them. I've been on Etsy since 2012, I know the rules, I follow the rules, and I did not violate any policies...yet some random person in another country decided I could not have a POD site. I do have Cassiy's online course subscription, I will snoop around in there and follow her advice. If that doesn't work, I am not wasting my time on Etsy for that. Etsy is not what it once was. I sell more on Amazon now than I do on Etsy. Running out of patience with them. I make them money, treat me with respect.
I totally understand! I did provide the links in the description to file an appeal and get Etsy to call you directly if you change your mind in the future! Again hopefully they will fix this process soon for other new buyers so this stops happening. Wishing you the best of luck!
Same for me. I was banned almost immediately. My Etsy career was over before it started lol.
@@hoosiermamma2726 I hope the advice in this video helps you get it back asap as it has been helping multiple people in the past few weeks get their shops back! Try the call link in the description and even the complaining advice I shared as that seems to be making a difference.
I had mine suspended and chose the " have them call you" option. They called and i was told that on their end, I was opened! So in 2 minutes I was resolved!
I can’t believe Etsy would collect people money then give them a reply like that! That would seem like good grounds for a lawsuit. Me personally, I love Etsy as a seller and buyer and never had a issue but I’ve heard so many who have and it it very sad. Hope they get their sh#@$ together this time.
There’s more Etsy updates such as mock-ups. POD mock-ups from printify, printful etc. will be only allowed. However, other mock-ups from creative Fabrica, bundle sites, and Etsy sellers selling mock-ups won’t be.
Is this confirmed??
Please provide your source. Using the Printify/Printful mockups of a shirt is no different than one made by an independent mockup shop. Each one is just a picture of the product, not the actual product the customer will receive. It literally makes no difference and Etsy as a multi billion dollar company must understand that.
Actually, in one of Etsy's last Q&A's, they mentioned that there was a mockup confusion going on.
This is copied from Etsy's policies
"Items made with production partners.
If an item is created with production assistance, the listing’s photos should be of the finished product or an image supplied by the production partner that accurately depicts the item the buyer will be receiving. Sellers are responsible for ensuring that these images properly represent their finished items."
You are allowed to use other mockup photos other than the printing provider (Printify, Printiful, etc), but you must make sure it is the same product.
If you're using a Balla Canvas, then your mockups must be Balla Canvas, not another brand of shirt.
So whatever product you are selling, just make sure the mockup is the same product you are selling. Hopefully, this helps with any confusion.
I did cover the mockups issue, here's the link to that time stamp. This was confirmed by Etsy that you CAN use mockups, they just have to accurately represent the products. ua-cam.com/video/hzbyxs7Y9sk/v-deo.htmlsi=GC7bQNI4-XIxgimm&t=639
What is the phone to call them? How to file to Better Business Bureaux?
You can go right on their website the bbb.org
I wish I could understand all about it and make money for mi and my kids.
I hope my videos can help you a lot!!
Thanks to you I found Kittl!
I really want Etsy to let us select which listings we want to allow gift messages for. I want to use this feature so bad but I sell more than just tshirts and not all print providers offer gift messaging. So it sucks that I can’t use the feature at all. Alternatively, Printify should require print providers offer this service in order to be listed on their platform. This is desperately lacking. POD gets a bad name sometimes because it’s limited in customer experience. It’s so transactional and everyone would benefit so much by having more personable branding and customer service options - I’d even pay more for it.
I agree, at least they have added them in general and hopefully the print providers offering them will just continue to grow over time!
Will they give you your $15 back when they close your shop???
As of right now they won't but hopefully they'll make some changes to this. And like I said in the video, most people are getting their shops back now, you just have to fight with Etsy a bit over it. Also I should say that the majority of people don't have the getting suspended issue as well in the first place!
Quick question are you allowed to put words like shit on products for example im one fart away from shiting my self
LOL I hope you are because this is hilarious
Yes.
Is that a popular phrase ??
Do your research because what you think is going to be a seller, may not be a hit with buyers 😅
LOL as far as I know you are able to sell things like that! I've seen plenty of swear words on shirts over the years
This is just a blatant cash grab. The COULD charge the $15 startup fee to help curtail scammers and then credit/refund it when the shop reached XXX dollars in revenue and/or been on Etsy for XXX amount of time. Do they give the money back eventually? NO! They make a ton of money as it is and all the other 'improvements' should already be built into their cost of doing business. Let's not forget, this startup fee applies to ANY new shop, even for people that have had existing shops for years and want to open another. Just another example of corporate greed.
Also, if they close your shop and the appeals don't work, contact your credit card and have the charge removed. You're paying to have a store on there, not to have them scam you out of money.
Can we sell feminism shirts? Can we use “activism” as a keyword?
Really?
@@darkparker7500can we?
Yea I would think it would be safe as long as you aren't specifically trash talking any one person from what I've read!
This is old news 😭
Glad you were already up to date on everything, I just hadn’t covered some of this on my channel yet. Sorry my video didn’t bring you anything new, I’ll try to get to things quicker in the future ❤️
Cassiy when I submit my phone number to call Etsy, I get an error message saying something went wrong. Any advice?
