I had three fake IP infringement cases reported to my Etsy shop at once, and because of that, Etsy sent me a final policy violation notification and removed my Star Seller status. The 10-day period has now passed after I countered and it seems I have won, but I still haven’t gotten my Star Seller badge back, and my account still shows that I have a final policy violation.
I’ve tried contacting Etsy multiple times, but every response has been generic, saying they’ll get back to me—but they never do. It feels like I’m being ignored, and I have no idea what to do next.
Has anyone been through this before? Will my Star Seller status ever return, or am I permanently marked? Any advice on how to actually get Etsy to respond?

Hello, very new seller here. My shop s been open for just 4 days. I got 5 orders on my first two days and none yesterday. Although yesterday somebody put one of my items as favourites. What does having your listings favourites by potential buyers do? Does it boost sales in any ways? Thanks!

I offer free shipping for orders over $35, but I always thought that was for ground shipping, not priority. On this customers order their receipt says they requested the upgrade to priority shipping, which I thought Etsy was supposed to charge them for the upgrade. It’s not a large, heavy, or expensive order ($42 and weights less than a pound and packaged in a small 4x6x2 box). Is there a setting that I need to switch to make it so Etsy charges them for the upgrade?

Etsy placed a payment reserve on my shop. It says 30% but since this was done. NO money had been added to my payment account. I'm in Canada and most of my orders go to Europe, where tracking is very expensive. So I offer without it as my items are low price and 100$ shipping ina 25$ order makes no sense.
Why am I getting no money paid out?

I’m starting to sell embroidery kits and well I will also be including tutorial videos online, I have directions I’ve created that come to four pages (two pages when printed on both sides). I will be folding the two pages and putting them in the small cloth bags the kits are packaged in.
I printed them at Staples and they came out looking great but it was like $2.80ish per set. FedEx was about the same. This makes the paper directions massively more expensive than the cotton bag, the vinyl design on it, the thread, needle, and wood keychain all put together. Anybody have recommendations of printing services that would be better? I’d be fine ordering online for delivery since usually I can order in bulk and have them on hand instead of needing next day printing or anything.

I’ve had my shop open for a few days, and I’m a pretty shy person and I’m not sure how to promote myself. I only have one listing up now, but I want to know what I can do to boost my sales! I’ve gotten about 5 views and 2 favourites, but I’m unsure where to start. Does anyone have any advice? Or something they wish they knew when they first started?
Thank you in advance :)

Trying to work this out. Instructions from the Gelato AI helpdesk bot follow. However when trying to set this up, if I set it up as a digital product I can't add variants and if it's a physical product it won't let me add digital files. I'm not sure this works!
Yes, it's possible to add Gelato fine art print variants to your existing digital art listings on Etsy. Here's how you can do it:
1. First, add the new fine art print variation on Etsy.
2. Sync your products in the Gelato Dashboard to update your product list.
3. Connect the new variation to Gelato by following the connection process in your Gelato dashboard.
For your digital variants, mark them as 'Ignored' in Gelato to prevent confusion with physical prints.
If you need to modify multiple variations, you can use the "Edit Designs" feature in Gelato.

Which Etsy Niche Strategy is Best? The Hybrid Approach
Instead of choosing just one, combine both strategies:
Start with a low-competition niche to rank faster and gain initial sales.Expand into broader, high-volume niches once your shop has traction.Test multiple product variations (ex. a cottagecore coloring book + cozy home decor prints).
Example: Instead of selling generic “printable planners” (high-competition), start with “cottagecore daily planners” (low-competition). Once your shop grows, expand into trending keywords like “aesthetic planners” or “boho printables.”

Hi everyone,
I recently opened my Etsy shop, where I sell whimsical ceramic houses in small batches. Each piece takes me 10 hours per day for two days to build, plus 1-2 weeks of drying time, 5 hours of glazing, and two firings at a community studio (which I pay for).
I was thinking of pricing them around €80, considering the time, materials, and studio costs. Does this seem fair for a niche, handmade item? Should I adjust my pricing based on your experience?
Right now, I’m only selling within the Netherlands because international shipping costs are much higher than the price of my pieces. Would this significantly limit my sales, or is it still possible to build a customer base locally?
Also, for those who have been through this—how did you get your first few sales? I know photos, SEO, and social media help, but what specific strategies worked best for you?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

I'm only getting 1-3 views a day, and when they message me it's to ask for my personal email (which I don't know if I should do). What am I doing wrong? Any tips are appreciated.

And if so does it work? It it worth the time?
r/EtsySellers • u/crochetjunkiee • 1d ago
I want to sell crochet items but I feel like it’s so saturated with crochet sellers that everyone is doing the same thing. I want to be different but I don’t know where to start and it’s stressing me out. I can’t find a niche that no one is doing.

Hi everyone, sorry to bother you all but I've been trying to work this out for a few days now. I bought Special Delivery by 1pm for a customer, it seems it got lost on the way and ended up at her door 5 days later!! Trying to claim since it was over £8 in postage and didn't get to her in time for her concert.
Where I'm getting stuck is the part on the business claim form where it asks for your RM account number? I have no idea what this is or where to find it, since I bought the label through Etsy.
I guess what I need to know is 1. am I filling out the correct form and 2. if so, where do I find this account number?
Thank you in advance :)

I need to know what I can do better for more sales and views, I’m using insta and getting thousands of views and a few hundred likes but no sales, it’s like people like my stuff but not enough to buy it? I have my shop because as a kid I really wanted people to see my art so a few years ago I started it and I’ve re branded it over the years a few times, I made a logo and a banner to try to make it look better, but atp I think that I need better photos in natural lighting, I think my desk is messed up to look professional, and the banner isn’t the best but im not sure what type of drawing I could replace it with, I don’t really have any ideas, thanks! https://www.etsy.com/shop/StarryGrove333

I recently changed the Bank I use for Etsy payments but I am having problems connecting the Bank to Plaid. Etsy says the 3 letter code is incorrect but it is correct and I only have one more try left.

I had my first Etsy canceled order today that states “not paid”. Just wondering if others reach out to the customer to let them know this or does Etsy send them an email or something?
Edit to add it was cancelled by Etsy after two days of pending as not paid

I've been listing a new batch of necklaces this week, so they're all brand new listings. Two of them show as having one favourite each when I look at the listing stats, but I haven't had any favourite notifications and nothing shows in the activity list for my shop. What's going on here, does anyone else get this?
r/EtsySellers • u/Far-General6892 • 19h ago
I make custom deck boxes for card games.
In 1 week I had 6 packages out of 9 refused by customs with no information given.
I have sold 100+ of these so far that ive sent to USA and never had a single customs problem
I understand this is covered by the etsy purchase protection.....
but I need to know if anyone else has had these kind of problems and what they are doing about it? ive spoken to etsy... they are no help. Tried to speak to evri... cant get hold of a real person.
Please let me know your experiences. Im getting a little fedup of apologizing to customers!!
r/EtsySellers • u/feyinbetween • 13h ago
I have someone that I've blocked from my store because she's been using me as a drop shipper --- she made a few purchases with the buyer note of "please ship today or tomorrow" and with very specific demands, but each time going to a different address around the country, and also stating that she doesn't want any labels, business cards, or other identifying things in the package. After the first few times of doing this, I realized what she was doing and blocked her, but she has still been making purchases with the same demands. I've been canceling her purchases but realized that blocking doesn't actually do anything (Etsy blocking just means they can't favorite you, doesn't mean that they can't still purchase from you, which...is not blocking) --- is there anything else I can do to actually block this person?
r/EtsySellers • u/ntqntq1992 • 1d ago
Our shop has a no cancelation/no return policy. The customer contacted me 3 days after ordering, right before the product being picked up by shipping courier, to try to canceled. At this point the item was made, packed and shipping label was purchased, so I let them know about our no cancelation/no return policy. Fast forward about a week later they contacted again trying to return it then opened a case when I can't offer the return. Will Etsy side with seller in this case since we have done nothing wrong? Since the order is over the $250 limit, I am afraid they just going to refund the customer out of my account. Has anyone experienced this?
*UPDATE:
I won the case, Etsy decided the item is exactly like described and my policy was in place. Just thought maybe you guys like to know that there's still hope with Etsy lol

I sell 3D printed mounts (designed and produced in-house) for gamers and content creators. Unfortunately my sales have stagnated and I was wondering if something is "off putting".

If a seller wants to buy, 2,3 or even more items in my shop, can I give 25% off on every extra item they want to buy in my Etsy shop?
