4/17/2023 0 Comments Etsys new thumbsup![]() ![]() eBay does seem to be the most strict but even they let people price gouge & sell items that are misrepresented. All these platforms are the same, they say you can't do this or that but then they allow it & make money off of the items they allegedly don't allow. If it wasn't allowed, they simply wouldn't allow it. ![]() I thought items had to be handmade or vintage to be sold on Etsy or craft-related, but that's not the case at all. ![]() This particular seller is on several platforms & misrepresents their items as vintage when they are literally in my local TJMaxx store right now. I see a TON of new items that you can find in the stores right now being resold on Etsy & I reported just one of the sellers & their listings & Etsy did nothing. I stay on Etsy because I make OOAK and Etsy DOES have the eyeballs. Etsy has a bad habit of not counting all messages, sales (if I get a sale of multiple items from one buyer, it only counts as one sale), shipment tracking, etc. Not every old shop is a Star Seller (a complete joke!), as many don't make enough sales to qualify, even if their reviews, customer service, shipping, etc are 100%. Look for older shops (5 years or more) that don't shell out cheap junk. I have repeat customers that know they won't get a bespoke item from any other shop as fast as I may be able to do it.Įtsy isn't totally a bad place. They might get closed down, but they open another within hours. Had Etsy not allowed POD onto the platform, imo some of the resellers would have a tougher time starting shops. "Vintage" is supposed to be at least 20 years old, which is laughable, but there it is. As a handmade seller on Etsy that also has a vintage & supply shop on Etsy, I see resellers of sweatshop made "handmade" items in direct violation of Etsy's own rules. ![]()
