Etsy should've kept the Handmade, Vintage, and Supplies categories and just added a 4th category called Print on Demand. This way, PoD sellers would know exactly how to list.
Forgetting to make sure that listings are set with help from a production partner is something I've done. Etsy doesn't force a choice so if you forget it defaults to "I did" IIRC. Etsy should have no default setting and force the choice before a listing goes live. People may misunderstand and choose wrongly but at least they made a choice.
I have a question, I usually post new listings by copying an existing listing as I guess most people do. But I can't find the option to pick "designed by or handpicked by". I know it will show up when you create a completely new listing but not when you copy an existing one. Can you confirm that? Typical Etsy fashion I guess 🥴
he watched the wrong you tube channels... only take the time from your busy production day to watch the channels that give up to date information and keep you informed ....like Brand Creators 😉 and of course Starla and Pam
I would not know that to not put the selection. I did it because I am due to print on demand, if I would not have watched another video or I had to go through all my listings and put that another company and then select print on demand I hope I got it early enough. I’ve only been on for roughly 2 months.
Etsy refunds money without using their own portal, They don't send you an email or notification in the portal they send it via your email on file with no way to respond to that email! you cant comment on the refund or case. If you can figure out how to comment with the assistance of customer service, you have to wait 24 hours for a response Im still waiting. The whole process is underhanded because even the refund is processed on your credit card and not through the portal so it is all a mystery. I am furious because I am out the $290 and I cant get my product back. So the customer gets their money back and etsy gets to refund my money and I get nothing.
If he was still under the reserve (new shop) … how did he get so many sales so fast ? What I’ve seen are shops that sell political and trademarked items get these super fast sales.
Kid tells the story about how his shop was shut down..”so…I was at work……. had a break…., used the facilities….picked up my phone.., was gonna open the app to check , but I dried my hands…”

This is what I was talking about!!! Not being able to talk with a live reasonable person that can THINK.
Why Etsy don't provide real live chat 24/7, I emphasize with person not AI! They will prevent everyone from getting a lot of headaches!
greed (that would cost Etsy money)
Etsy are an abusive scam.
A bunch of poorly trained AIs running am•ok and shutting down shops. That's what's happening 😑
I just open a shop on etsy 😢 the scary part they don't give a warning, need to study the policy with a microscope.
I'm in the same situation, with so many rules and uncertainties about everything.
Same thing happened to me. No customer service to talk to so I dipped.

What's a payment reserve (with Etsy) about?
he watched the wrong you tube channels... only take the time from your busy production day to watch the channels that give up to date information and keep you informed ....like Brand Creators 😉 and of course Starla and Pam
Does anyone know if there's a way to change ALL of the listings to fit the proper category instead of going through them individually?
Great question!!
Payment reserve is based on delivered + 1 or 2 days according to tracking. If no tracking then it holds the full day (60 or 90)
Also how do you go back and check listings to make sure they are set up correctly for POD?
I bet he didn't have the printer as the listed maker
What is the payment reserve? I'm not sure I understand.

So what box do we as POD sellers check off?
You should always be selecting tha tsomeone else made the product.
@@brandcreators yay! you replied. where is your how to set up shopify step by step?

Typically you would be placed on a reserve when there is a big change in velocity...which seems to be the case here
@@brandcreators Maybe he can get a hold of a person and get his shop fixed ?
