'UPDATE REQUIRED'. Etsy requires action on postage settings. Suggested fix is change from 'OTHER'

But..

All my shipping is done by Printify who fulfil my orders so I HAVE NO CONTROL over what postage rate PRINTIFY specify within their fulfilmnet system.

Therefore..

I should not change the ETSY side of postage options.

So UPDATE REQUIRED is not poissible to complete.

I believe I read Etsy suggested to choose the option which has the closest shipping  time frame. I'd think this is more important than choosing the exact shipping carrier since this will not always be possible.  POD sites should have this information listed for each type of item along with the maker.  So matching these time frames should help.  

Etsy is a bit out of touch with sellers.  This program focuses on the buyer.  Etsy is trying to insure a buyer/shopper can see when an expected delivery date will occur.  This is positive for buyers as estimated delivery times can be helpful.  What's negative is how Etsy has set it up.  This along with their addition to the PPP stating estimated delivery times are now required delivery dates on Etsy is bound to be problematic for sellers.  This is especially true in the upcoming winter storm months and holiday times.  It may help to keep this in mind when setting up shipping and processing times.
