Etsy

I had a seller account on Etsy, everything went well, sold good amount of products in first 2 months of opening my shop. On 25th of December, my account got suspended without any email or message warning. They closed my business just like that. Didn't get any explanation what happened, so today I don't know any reason why they closed it. Try to appeal, with no success. Worst thing is they still owe me over £580 of my money which I made and they still did not pay me. Them customer support is horrendous it's actually non exist as they have only option to send email, but they never respond. Absolute scammers! I advice for sellers to move out of this website, open your own website as ETSY ARE FRAUD.

Etsy has a lot of cool stuff from small business that you cannot normally find, so i really recommend shopping from there for things like art work, room decor, DIY objection (earrings, necklace etc). Shipping is relatively fast depending on how soon the seller ships out the product, but its a super safe platform to purchase from!

Etsy support team members should really get themselves jobs elsewhere as they are champions with being slow, ignorant and poorly trained. But if this is what the Etsy management wants, then they have reached the goal. My messages take weeks of not months to respond, never contain anything helping and in 100% it is brushing me off their laziest shoulder. Shame on you, guys, and may you have the same attitude from everyone when you need help.

Etsy encourages scammers apparently but not protecting buyers and refusing to shut down obviously fake shops. How many people get ripped off before Etsy does something: apparently it's internal information they can't disclose. Safe to say, shop elsewhere, unless you enjoy being scammed.

Etsy closed my shop after have 100% reviews with lots of repeat happy customers with NO warning or way to even contact them to speak about it. If you are a newcomer to Etsy WATCH OUT. There are sellers on there who love to attack new people. They will flag your items and get them pulled out of your shop. The fact that they let all this drama go down and give us innocent, minding our own business sellers the cold shoulder makes me sick! I'm a single mom who finally found a great way to make income doing what I love and now it is ruined because of jealous, vindictive women. If anyone else knows where I can go to sell digital images (instant download) please let me know. Besides Etsy rakes you through the coals with their fees. Everything has a fee attached.

Can't check out. One step to final checkout and I get some stupid screen which says something about me not being authorised to change information.? Whatever. Taking my dollars elsewhere. Thanks for nothing!

I used Etsy for the first time last week. I made two purchases both of which were processed and shipped promptly. The Christmas cards I bought are adorable and I can't wait to send them out. Great quality. My body butter will arrive this week and I look forward to using it. When I had questions prior to the purchase, my questions were answered quickly and with the utmost courtesy. I plan to do my holiday shopping on Etsy in an effort to support small businesses. Please note that every seller is individual and unique so I could've just as easily had a crappy experience. If I did have bad customer service or shipping issues, I'd blame the seller not Etsy.

I ordered five different things from five different sellers. Two of the items (the expensive ones) didn't look anything at all like the pictures that were posted online. And one item was never shipped. That's basically stealing. I'm currently having a hard time getting anyone to help with a refund. Don't waste your time or money!

"Unfortunately, my experience with Etsy as a seller was extremely disappointing. I have a silver jewelry business and have been represented on various online platforms, but I have never experienced such disrespectful behavior from customer support. I spent six months trying to register for an account, only to have it suspended shortly after receiving a congratulatory email. Despite sending numerous emails requesting clarification and providing all necessary legal documents and business information, I received no response. As a result, I find it difficult to trust a platform that can block my account and withhold my funds without explanation or communication. It is truly disheartening that such a large company would treat their sellers in such a manner."

Now this Etsy scam has reached further heights by paying review websites such as this one to remove negative reviews and replace them with fake positive ones! In November 2017, Etsy did have 1,028 negative reviews which suddenly dropped to only 114 in December! Worse yet, the scam site was proclaimed the winner of "Sitejabber's 2017 Customer Choice Award". Ridiculous! Etsy is determined to remain the leader in Internet fraud business and they are doing all that it takes to silence their victims! Brutal criminals!

Etsy was once well known for giving artists the ability to get their work noticed. This site has become a safe haven for individuals selling works that blatantly infringe on copyrights. I do not want to open a store on their site if they can't even protect well known copyrights from being infringed upon. Etsy's policy allows the company to turn a blind eye to completely obvious copyright infringements. A user can even come forward with information that Etsy should care about, but the site's stance is they will not move forward on the matter unless contacted via SNAIL MAIL by the original artist. This means, as long as the original artist or copyright holder never finds out, then Etsy profits.

I've been selling on etsy a long time. My sales have been terrible no one can find my listings. When you look for something handmade its mixed with the vintage. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. I advertised to bump up my products so someone would find them. I sold 1 thing at Christmas and they are returning it. I see others with products that aren't as good as mine for more money. Clearly there is a pecking order I'm real sick of it. The site is very disorganized. Their listing categories suck they don't listen and aren't doing anything to make it better. BTW I make my living online but can't seem to sell much on etsy

I was a seller on Etsy for 4 years, 4000 sales and 100% feedback. They shut me down for "infringement" for using the words "inspired by". I did not use images but used colors similar to characters. This happened while my shop was on vacation and items were unavailable to view to the public. I was a sucker for paying hundreds in fees every month when all these 20 cent listings with high shipping are obvious fee avoidance. Not to mention all the blatant copyright listings Etsy is making money off of each time an item is listed and each time an item sells. When I asked what I could do to reopen my shop they told me they take this issue very seriously. I hope they didn't type that with a straight face. Search "Minnie mouse" on their site and 49,000+ items come up... very serious I see... what a joke!
