Didn’t qualify for stellar seller

[BargainBronx]

I use Pirate Ship for shipping according to Etsy I missed 13 tracking numbers not qualifying me to become stellar seller. I crossed referenced the order number to the tracking numbers 2 where canceled and the rest on Etsy show in transit some far back as 10/11/22 as a buyer I would contact seller. No buyer has contacted me . They have all received their items. I provided all tracking numbers. Before I print the label I ask buyer to confirm label information. Says I missed a tracking number on 11/16 thats today. I know it on it. I check messages I check pirate ship everyone has their items. Etsy shows no update starting still in transit when it has been delivered. I am sure they would have connected someone by now if they haven’t received their item. Help working so hard going above and beyond to have them confirm labels to protect myself and them. On my side all orders are clear and tracking where provided so it disqualified me this month not to get stellar seller. What can I do this is a big mistake 13 missing tracking and no one contacts me about it. Help

You might have bigger problems besides no Star Seller badge.   You're listing store-bought, non-vintage products as handmade.

I have over 5,000 Pokémoncards lots from japan. I should post. Go vintage hunting. For now its what I can get delivered

Hello @BargainBronx,

We've double-checked the orders that are affecting your Star Seller, and we can confirm that the tracking number on these orders can't also be tracked on the carrier's website. It is possible that the number being entered may not be the tracking number, or a slight error may have been made in entering the number. Please check the carrier and the tracking number match. If the carrier and tracking numbers do not match, this will count as an invalid tracking number. You can also check our help center article explaining how to add or edit a tracking number.

Thank you very much!

Well resellers don't deserve the star seller.

[BargainBronx]

Not very nice. If you work hard you should deserve what is offered. I don’t over price and some don’t have access to Sanrio. I get crafty when I over come this thank you for the positive feed back. I don’t deserve it.  

[BargainBronx]

Wow my apologies for not having a crafty mind. I just went through my 3rd round of Chemo need extra income have a friend in japan that helps me with imports. I take pride in my packaging. I make people smile with washi tape and stickers what a welcoming community thank you all. I didn’t deserve cancer either at 42. What a loving community. Wow I just want everyone to enjoy what Sanrio did for me growing up. Its sad how you all think. You are right I don’t deserve anything working so hard making every package as special as can be small gifts big smile. Wow pretty hurt

I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis and I hope your treatment is successful. But I’m afraid that doesn’t give you a pass to sell items that are not allowed on Etsy.

[BargainBronx]

Not asking for a pass was upset that I was told I don’t deserve a star. I buy my washi tape and stickers letter sets here none handmade. Thanks I will figure something out to continueto sell items you can’t find in the US. I will have to call and ask what I can do.‘seems like resellers aren’t well liked.   Not asking for a pass at all. It was my mistake to ask a community. Negativity gives you creativity

@BargainBronx 

washi tape and stickers are craft supplies and allowed to be sold here.

I'm not going to give you a hard time for selling items that run afoul with etsy's item requirements. I mean, honestly, I've seen a lot worse and your buyers seem happy.

I'd just advise caution because I feel like one of these days etsy will finally start cracking down on this and enforcing their rules and you might get caught up in it and if that happens your Star Seller badge will be the least of your worries.

My friendly advice? Don't put your eggs in one basket. If you haven't already, diversify and start selling on other platforms.

Best of luck with your treatment!

[BargainBronx]

I sure they will I will customizing drawstring bags to put the items in. I have been here for 3 months. I completely understand 80% of my items are  importeditems you can’t find here. Negativiymakes creativity. Stood up last night to come up with creative items I can add on. My eggs are all over the place. I don’t overprice. I package every item with Love. Its an experience to open up a package.I don’t just slap a label on it. Its like how do we know these hand made items are made by the seller. They can be reselling someone’s creation and claim they made it. Thank You for your advice. Im working on adding handmade items to their orders. Packaging isn’t enough. Ill get there it was dumb of me to ask. First time on Etsy its only been 3 months. I completely understand this place is for the creative mind . It opened last night with negative comments. Thank you

Look, I know chemo is awful, not just the chemo but everything else that goes with it. The fear, despair, everything terrible you can think of. I know and I feel for you, truly.

Let me just explain why people say this to you about Sanrio because you might not know. On Etsy you can only sell handmade or designed by yourself (not using anyone elses Intellectual Property like Sanrio or Disney, etc) or Vintage Items or Craft/Party supplies.

Anyone going against these rules is subject to have their shop shutdown without recourse or ever being able to open another one. The Sanrio Company is known for doing sweeps on Etsy. This means they shut down all listings using their IP like Hello Kitty, etc. As you know when you listed the items you can only select 'handmade' to be able to list a new item. This is a problem because when Sanrio's bots see this they will assume that it is counterfeit.

If your items are genuine Sanrio then your best bet is to list them on a platform that allows this. Etsy doesn't and I'm not saying that to be mean. I'm really trying to help. On top of everything else your going through you don't want a possible suspension hanging over your head. Please find another platform if you haven't already, where you an legally sell your items.

I wish you all the best and hopefully your chemo is over soon and you have a successful outcome.

[BargainBronx]

Thank you can add handmade items to my reselling items. Like add a key chain to a bag or pouch, a personalized pen to notebooks , bookmark. Drawstring bags to go along with their purchase.  I saving to buy a cricut. 80% of my items are unique cant find in the US. Can that help I cam sew drawstring bags to send their items. 

[nineteen27]

no.

if you sell a pouch with things inside... the things inside have to be handmade vintage or supplies.

there is no work-around on etsy for reselling your items.

sanrio is the most aggressive of all brands to remove items from this site.

you can sell your items on ebay.

but on etsy... they have to be handmade or designed by YOU, vintage of 20 years or older or craft/party supplies.

[BargainBronx]

ok I can do that. Thank you good advice. How about making drawstring bags for plushies

[nineteen27]

you can sell the drawstring bags.

you cannot sell those plushies.

you did not make them... they are not at least 20 years old and they are not supplies.

[BargainBronx]

I cam buy 25 rolls of washi tape for less then a dollar each an sell them for $4 each. My mistake to ask a question. I will have to open up my creative mind to feel welcome. 

[AudaciousAttire]

try ebay

[BargainBronx]

I have but lots of over seas sellers. Im have Amazon, Poshmark , Depop . I wanted to be part of Etsy seems like I cant . I have some cute plushie that you can’t find here. I just want to share and want others to get the chance to buy a unique sanrio item. 

[BargainBronx]

Its all good. I can figure something out. I will call to clarify if I can add handmade mirrors i can bedazzle to a pouch. Or a cute drawing bag with their name on it to keep their plushies safe and clean. Buy a cricut to make stickers and add then to a bookmark or mirror. I will call and ask thank you. 

[Jewels2at]

Holy Trade Embargo!!!!

1) Infringing

2) reselling

3) marking things as handmade that are not.

Remember, your shop reflects on your integrity.

[Jewels2at]

I was going to suggest you move your items to Amazon or Ebay...

But they already have the same items for much less.
