As always, continue…..

Okay. I was a good girl and made the bracelet.

[ChrissiLynnDesigns]

Good Morning! I agree, Gayle...summer here went by way too fast! It's been far too wet as well.

Terri...I did stickers through Vistaprint. They did not need a vector file...I used a .png file for mine. Very easy. They have a lot of templates and choices for all different colors and styles. They are a bit more expensive than I would have liked...I only ordered a few to see how I would like them, and I'm thinking about going back and ordering more.

I'll try and post pictures on FB a bit later. I'm sooooo glad today is Friday!!! I have a weekend with very few obligations, and I'm really looking forward to catching up at home and in the studio. I'm meeting a client for a repair project at 1 pm....then the rest of the day should be much easier, especially since my big worker's compensation project is nearly complete.

CG, it's what dh did to keep snow away- bought one 3 years ago and we've barely used it. Before that- back breaking shoveling very year

[heartsabustin]

Bracelet is in the mailbox, supper is prepped for reheating later, new stuffs are listed here. I'll call that a successful Friday's work.

I guess I'll go throw a load of whites in the wash.

Gee, my life is SO exciting. :D

[GayleDowell]

Had to go peak at your new stuffs Erin. I love your banner! How did you create it?

[ChrissiLynnDesigns]

Back from meeting my client. What I thought was only going to be one project turned into 5!! Yay! :-) Such a sweet lady too! She met me at the bazaar I did a few weeks ago!

[heartsabustin]

Here on Etsy, Gayle? I upgraded to Etsy Plus, at least until December. That's one of the options, is to have several pics.

[GayleDowell]

Oh cool. Do you like the upgrade so far?

[GayleDowell]

I guess that means you can downgrade too?

[heartsabustin]

You can downgrade. You get 15 free listings a month, $5 in PL credits, the cool banner - it's pretty good so far. And I have a nifty Super Seller badgein my shop now - i don't know if that's part of the upgrade or not.

[Untwistedsister]

ooh, just looked at your new page layout Erin. It's very nice. I like the way you get different size photos too. You know I've never done a PL? I think the super seller badge is a test. If you hover over it, it tells you how you earned it.

[heartsabustin]

Oh, really?

[PPennee]

Not seeing a super seller badge on my phone? So if you do Etsy Plus you get a badge no matter what or is there a specific criteria?
No offense at all Erin but that kind of thing annoys me. If there's a badge that implied a seller is better than others for whatever reason, why doesn't everybody know about it and the qualifications to be eligible?

[heartsabustin]

I didn't even know it was a thing until today. I can't see it on my tablet

[Untwistedsister]

You have to click on a listing to see the badge.

[Untwistedsister]

Pennee - you have the badge too.

[Untwistedsister]

What makes them super? This shop has a history of:

More than 25 sales

Shipping on time

Excellent reviews

Seems a little unfair to new sellers.

[PPennee]

Just googled it and yes, definitely not a thing for new sellers. Yet another EBay knock off like their Power seller badges except Etsy isn't giving sellers any benefits except the badge

Type: Testing a "Super Seller" badge on some listing pages

What we're testing: We’re adding a "Super Seller" badge on the listing pages of sellers that are eligible. Sellers are eligible for the "Super Seller" badge if they:
- Have more than 25 sales:
- Ship on time for the majority of orders (including sellers who sell digital downloads);
- And have 5 or more reviews, with the majority of reviews being 5 stars.

[heartsabustin]

Those are some lowish standards. LOL

[Untwistedsister]

Good morning. I fell asleep fairly early and woke up to a cramp in my calf. Oh well, early start to the day.

I have to agree with Erin on the lowish standards.

[heartsabustin]

Morning - I hate waking up to cramps. That's the worst.

It rained all day yesterday, and today we will go drag limbs at FILs. That ought to be entertaining. I do believe I'll wear my hiking boots today.

[cgwhitfield]

Good morning.

[kitkingdesigns]

Good morning.

[PPennee]

I agree Erin- "super" implies a whole lot more than you have 5 good reviews and 25 sales. So in other words- almost everyone is a super seller which makes it completely meaningless

[GayleDowell]

You got that right Pennee. I noticed I have one too. I feel like I'm in kindergarten again when everyone gets a star for participating.
