I rarely get messages so I rely on being notified by Etsy when I do receive a message. I was sent a message a couple of weeks ago that was a question about a listing, and was asking about if the price was negotiable. This question had been sitting in the spam folder with no notification from Etsy to alert me . Because it was about a higher priced item in my shop, I decided to follow through, and the potential buyer did buy the item. It was the only higher priced item that I sold this year, and I almost missed the opportunity to sell it to an interested collector because I most likely would have not seen the message if someone in the forums had not warned other forum readers about checking our messages because of them going straight to spam. I have been trying to remember to check messages daily since then, and have discovered other messages that are evidently being sent to spam. The messages are legitimate questions. In the case of my potential buyer, his acceptance of my counter offer was also in spam, so I almost missed it.
