Re: Treat Yourself Group Discussion

Sorry Green Life Center. Basically another Etsy type selling platform. Very ground floor feel to it, but with zero results it isn't very enticing.

Re: Treat Yourself Group Discussion

I just went for my follow up and luckily he just trimmed exess skin from my wound area but he thinks it is beginning to heal. At least the infection is minimized at this point.

Re: Treat Yourself Group Discussion

The skin on my thumb just keeps peeling off, not looking good to me at this point

Re: Treat Yourself Group Discussion

Two more weeks in, and still can't return to work yet. Waiting for the skin to grow back over the wound now. At least the infection is gone. Just really tender now. I go back in Wednesday to see what the doctor tells me.

Re: Treat Yourself Group Discussion

Yeah Rosey, I poked my thumb while at work, and the cut got infected really bad. Two days spent in the hospital and everything. Looks like I go back next Wednesday and will see what they say then. At least the infection is gone now, but it was really bad for a while.

 

School starts on Monday for our kids to head back. Summer sure flew by this year.

Hi Rosey and teaman, Glad you are feeling better teaman. 

School doesn't start in our area until the last week in August. Is your daughter going to a local college or will she be going away and living in a dorm?

Re: Treat Yourself Group Discussion

Not sure how any US seller can remain loyal to Etsy at this point. How in the world can Etsy favor the first 48 listings in any search in the US based solely upon if the seller offers free shipping. Complete idiocy, and a disgusting way to treat their loyal sellers.

Re: Treat Yourself Group Discussion

I'm not caving in to offer free shipping either since shipping isn't free. Etsy's search is so messed up I don't believe anything they say anymore. I might have to branch out to another venue, not sure yet. People are talking about Baroqoo. I haven't tried it yet but their customer service is great. I did ask them a question and got an answer very quick unlike on this site. I just had a sale today for over $100 so until I don't have any sales I will remain but definitely looking elsewhere.

Re: Treat Yourself Group Discussion

So hard to find these teams or whatever this way to communicate in teams. 

hope all is well with everyone. I’m ramping up for the holiday craft shows. I offer free shipping but still not getting sales or noticed. Oh well, when I do get sales All is good.

Re: Treat Yourself Group Discussion

So sorry to hear about your dog Rosey. I know how hard it is to lose a pet.

I sell in spurts, not as good as before. I refuse to offer free shipping. I cannot do it in this shop with all the different weights and the variation listings would be a nightmare. They obviously didn’t think this plan through. It’s almost impossible for vintage shops. 

I’m missing the warmer weather already and not looking forward to the winter months.

Re: Treat Yourself Group Discussion

hi everyone,

Hope everyone is having a great new year. Make sure you all are up to date on the new advertising that Etsy is doing. It is in the forums and questions and answer pages. You can find it in your shop too.

Re: Treat Yourself Group Discussion

Hey Rosey, I’m not quite sure what I think about the new advertising. For this shop, I will be required to pay for the advertising. I don’t like Etsy telling me what I have to do. Hope you and your family are well.

Have you heard anything about Debbie?
