Re: ETSY seller for 3 years then suspended..
I should have been more specific...... trouble started a few months ago when ETSY underwent more changes to their system, they changed their look , how items are searched for etc.... some people were affected by this, I was one of them. I was getting emails intended for other sellers. Other sellers were getting my emails. I even received feedback for something I don't make. This was straightened out after a week or so. Then again after another minor change my sales dropped, or so I thought. Turns out some sales were never dropped into my account $ or invoices. I didn't notice until many items were late and ETSY was checking on them, sales I didn't even know I have, and never been paid for. This is where I don't feel comfortable spending money out of my pocket to make and mail items I have yet to be paid for. 22 of the 70 I did make and mail because they were completed via Paypal but the rest were DC. I feel poorly for the customers though. Refund will have to be given from ETSy , I don't have their money to return . its a BIG mess now I went from 4000 plus sales great feedback to horrible HORRIBLE feedback. They only thing I can do is start a new store, BUT ETSY still wants me to fill the 48 orders or shut me down. They will find the money eventually and pay me, but I am still left with the feedback. Hope that cleared things up a bit.
On top of everything else I did get sick. Will be having surgery in a while so all of this will wait until 100% of my attention can be focused on work and I am hiring 2 part time ladies to help out. Just trying to get my game plan together.
