0:00 Welcome
3:58 Good morning! Question about Etsy shop. I have an Etsy account that I opened years ago to shop. Would you suggest starting a new Etsy now that I am ready to sell?
6:10 What about government rules in selling toys with eyes? I had ask a question in Ash & Tay and someone responded with there's lots of rules.
10:06 Not sure if this is an Ashley question? Etsy support is hard to navigate. Finally installed the mobile seller app, but it says my shop doesn't exist.
13:01 so I have my very first show coming up in about 3 weeks any tidbits for a new crochet/loom knitting on finding my groove on in person sales and dealing with customers please
15:45 keeping inventory is not a priority at this time but I know Etsy counts those in person sales as Etsy sales so that would get me "sales". it may be worth it to get my sales numbers up at first. I also sell at in person markets. What do you suggest about linking my square with Etsy? I will most likely sell different things at markets and be much more niche with my Etsy shop.
23:20 Where would you put this info for markets?
25:54 Do you have to have your plushies safety tested? The UK has really strict rules so I think I’m going to have to stick to selling patterns instead
27:03 Just FOUND a different request area for non Star Sellers.... When I clicked on my picture, it took me to a page that says "My Support Requests". It shows my previous request & link for new request.
27:41 When are you planning to release any gift card holders that are Christmas designs?
30:25 Ooh Bags are exciting!
52:00 My biggest confusion is what Canva designs are legal to use and sell
