Closing Handmade Etsy shop due to Payment methods issues.

[PastelWoods]

Hi, after a long time of struggling with many technical issues... Finally I get message from potential customers saying she is getting error " The shop you're trying to order from cannot accept PayPal payments" I tried to do every possible thing and last resort being contacting Etsy India but sadly no one has got back till today.

Even the Etsy India Payment have been showing paused for many months. But yet I kept going on making Etsy payments and ads. BUT today when I finally had to decide to close my Etsy shop before things go out of hand. 

Firstly India payment is not working so I cant sell to Indian customers

Secondly Paypal some issue is showing but I made all the possible changes... but in vain!

And there is no help from Etsy side. So do u think its better to shut down the shop now ... because I am a sole small handmade business owner and I cant afford to keep paying huge amounts without any sales... 

What do u guys think? Is there anything I havent tried?

Dear You are not alone !!! We are also facing same issue. All customers reported issues with payment, they are not able to make payments for the products. 0 Sales since this update was rolled out.

I reported this to etsy team 100 of times but every time they said it is working fine now. Previously our system has glitch but now everything is working fine they keep on charging advertisement fee listing fee for +1000 listings but 0 orders, For many months we keep on paying and keep  on reporting etsy but till the date etsy team did not take any action to remove this glitch. I am petty sure there system still has this glitch and etsy know this but they do not want small sellers to do business so they are running the website with glitches. Everyone in the world is greedy for money. Etsy too.

Before this blllsit update our store was getting 5-10 orders everyday. Since this India payment update rolled out our business on etsy is 0.

WAKE UP ETSY SMALL SELLERS ARE IN TROUBLE SINCE THIS GARBAGE UPDATE WAS ROLLED OUT. DO SOMETHING.

I guess then we do not need etsy anymore... thanks I tried to contact etsy they gave me Paypal no but there is no such closure. Nobody responded. You cannot report anything in Paypal and the India Paymrnt has been on pause for many months yet we keep paying Etsy fees every month. Sad but true...I guess being small business has not much support from anyone.
