Good Morning,
I believe my star seller rating was dropped in error. You are telling me one message was responded after 24 hours but i have proof with screenshots where the messages were exchanged after 1 minute and i was dropped to 67% from 100%. And unfortunately my messages were deleted but the buyer was responding to my messages and the conversation lasted 2 minutes
@BakedGoodsByAllison: Have you checked the applicable CSV file available on your Star Seller page (previous period for September Star)? When you look at the file remember that that the dates / times are in UTC (not your time zone), only the first message of a new incoming thread is included (all that counts for Star Seller), and usually a new incoming thread is not included until after the 24 hour reply window has passed regardless of when you replied. Star Seller stats (and the CSV file) seem to be updated only once per day so there may be an additional day's delay. There is also a link to the actual message thread so you can verify if the data is correct or not.
"You are telling me ..." Even if Etsy Support or the Help Pages sent you here this is a seller peer to peer forum, and should not be considered a way to contact Etsy, if that is your hope (although Etsy does sometimes read and reply to posts).
I don't see any link to the actual message all my responses have been deleted this is so unfair i work so hard to get star seller and your policies make it very difficult if there is a day delay
I am having the same exact issue.
I know so fustrating you work so hard to get star seller status only to have messages deleted and no proof. Lesson learned i will be screenshotting all responses going forward
That's a great idea!
