Instant Download - How is everyone getting on?

[CreateTheCut]

Just wondered how people are finding the new instant download feature? Personally I am loving it, just hope it stays free!

Yes, I think it's great! It's really freed me up to do more designing, and to clean up my tags and titles.

I'm LOVING this. Since everything in my store is digital, unless I have someone ask for a customization I don't have to do anything. Its like my store is on auto-pilot which is great since I can focus on creating and promoting. I hope it remains a free service!

I just noticed it! (haven't added anything new, in a while) I'm soooo excited!

I love it too. I'm just watching what is sold and smiling. I have more time for work.

Unfortunately, I had an unexplained glitch yesterday. The customer wanted to buy a bulk order so we worked out a deal. I created 2 custom orders for her because I needed that many to hold all the files. She goes to order them, puts them in her cart and checks out with PayPal. PayPal sends me the confirmation and the money but Etsy NEVER showed the items as sold and when she went to download them she got an error message. The Bugs folks are looking at it all now.

Ooo, hope you got this sorted out Teri, quite a pest for you!

I love it, the only problem is that's all I've been selling! None of my customizable items have sold since Etsy introduced the instant downloads.

I love it. It's nice to be out and about and not worry about having to send files!

Love it. Going to add some more.

I'm thinking about my scrapbook papers. They are to big to use instant download for them. But I see that others do. How big are your papers? Whole my set file is about 160 MB!! One paper is approximately 1,6 MB!

I think is a great feature! However I've decided to use Crafthub, I feel I have more control over my downloads and is more user friendly.

I need to check it. Thanks for idea.
