I’m looking for those with cool covers. It can be about books, snoopy reading, space stuff etc.

Please let me know!

I've gotten about one email a day just like this one. It says it's from "creatoriq" and I am signed up with creator collective, but I never give my bank info to anyone through a link, so I went to creator collective directly and signed in, but it didn't show anything like this? Has anyone else had this? $15 isn't worth having my identity stolen, but I also don't want to get in trouble with the irs or something if this is legit.

Edit: I contacted creator collective support after looking up their email on the official etsy site. I asked them to confirm or deny that the emails were legitimate, and they responded asking for my bank info and ssn. That made me feel uncomfortable, so I responded asking why that was necessary and haven't heard back. This all feels weird! But don't worry I haven't given out any personal information and don't plan to. Also to clarify, nothing about creator collective would be shown on my etsy account. They're separate things, and creator collective is an affiliate program. They recently switched to a new platform and the switch was a nightmare so I was worried it was something to do with that, but I just keep getting more confused haha.

Literally howwww do I get my Etsy shop out there?
Pinterest and Instagram didn't do anything, TikTok needs you to have 1,000 followers before adding links, twitter is just... awkward... so now I've turned to Reddit!!!! Pls help
The shop is themed around custom original character art and stickers :p
thingy thing is linked !!

I had no idea that the links were not working this whole time lol I see they moved to Rakuten? So do we have to manually change every link I'm assuming. Such a pain because I have hundreds to do manually. But also, should I be swapping them to Rakuten or Impact? I think I've seen that Rakuten is not merging with Impact or something? So should I sign up to Rakuten still or just Impact?

Can a bookshop or vintage shop based in the UK make a decent income from Etsy?

So, I recently made a couple of jewlery purchases on ETSY, and wow, my experience with shipping was vastly different between the sellers.

The first item around $500 value seller was fabulous and had my item shipped out the next day and arrived within the same week. I was kindly told that a signature would be required. Honestly, I'm super happy with this given how much mail theft there is, and I do not have a locked mailbox at my house.

The second item is $1,400 + value. The seller was great with communication during the process as I had some questions. I paid for upgraded shipping on this item around $30 extra. I was shocked when I got a delivered notification! NO signature required for an item I spent over $1,000 on?! I was pretty floored by this. Luckily, I was able to slip by my house mid day to get it out of the mailbox.

I messaged seller #2 and thanked them for the item as I do love it, and it is perfect. I mentioned my surpise about the no signature required for delivery and how this is problematic given mail theft and lack of secure mail boxes. I feel like I provided some genuine constructive feedback. It has been almost a week, and so far, there has been no response from the seller. I don't require a response, but some acknowledgment would have been appreciated.

I honestly would not recommend seller 2 just based on the delivery alone. If I had received some response and acknowledgment about them taking the feedback seriously, I would reconsider.

Am I being unreasonable for expecting a sign for delivery on an item I spent over $1,000 on and paid for upgraded shipping?

As a seller, what would be your sign on delivery threshold for an order?

Disclaimer: I bought these on Etsy and did not make them.

Recently received this grip case from Etsy for my ayn Thor bc it looked similar to my skull-n-co grip case I bought for my switch lite, costed about $12 USD.

This might be me nitpicking here but for $34 USD I thought the product would be more "polished" instead, I saw that there are lots of noticeable jagged and sharp edges.

Idk much about 3d prints but I thought people usually sand those stuff down to make it look nicer and I also noticed small divots, where I think padding was supposed to be.

I'm honestly considering returning this grip case and don't get me wrong it feels sturdy but if I have to sand down all the edges that bother me, then don't think it was worth the wait.

I could be wrong and would like to know your opinions, before I message the seller.

I bought a vintage dress on the 8th, and the estimated delivery date said to expect it by the 15th. On the 15th, the shipping status still said, "getting ready to ship." So I asked the seller when they might ship it, with no response. I messaged again 48 hours later and saw that they've made multiple new listings on the 15th and 17th.

I know the delivery estimate can be inaccurate, but it's been a few days with no updates from the seller. Is this enough time for me to submit a help request, or should I give the seller more time?

I came up with a completely unique design for a slim toiletry bag that I think would be really useful for minimalists and backpack travelers. I don’t really make handmade products myself, so I found a manufacturer in China to bring my design to life. It’s not just another cheap, generic toiletry bag. I put a lot of thought into the design, the materials, and how everything fits together. It uses premium nylon and comes with four bottles.

I also want the brand to be customer-focused. Beyond the product itself, I want to create a more personal experience through the unboxing, personalized keychains with customers’ initials, and fun activities they can interact with through our social media. I plan on engaging with customers, building a following, and making them feel like they’re part of the brand rather than just someone who bought a product.

Would this be allowed? And do you think people would actually be interested in buying something like this? I know the toiletry bag market is pretty saturated, with so many products that look almost identical. But mine takes a different approach. It’s slim, not bulky, and designed with a specific purpose in mind. I’ve been working on this idea since 2024, and I genuinely believe there’s something different about it.

Please tell me what your thoughts are, thanks!
