It's not even so much the star seller impact, it's the lost sales, pissed off CURRENT customers who's messages are going to spam, and all the lost time and angst over fixing all the layers of wrong this has caused sellers. There's a report that spam errors caused by etsy won't impact a seller, yet even as of today, a week after that post, there are sellers still reporting that support won't fix things.
I've really been spinning on this one, trying not to say anything disparaging or speculative about how this is happening and how is it being fixed, I can't figure out a way to notify any potential customers that their messages might be going to spam, wasting time checking folders and then having anxiety that I might forget and miss a day checking my spam folder.
Like many people, I already have enough to worry about in life outside etsy that the compounded issues here are making more of an impact on my sanity. How do you make any kind of announcement to potential buyers about this problem without sounding like an idiot?
