I just started selling a few items on Etsy. Well, what an awful company. Their customer support is incompetent. They keep removing one of my listings due to “medical statement” prohibition, to which I’m making none. I asked the support to elaborate where my error in listing is and they can’t state it themselves—they can only remove it.
On my last sale, Etsy charge me $7+ for a shipping label and it said i had saved 30% on shipping cost by purchasing with them.
Mind you, I might be new to Etsy, but I’ve been selling online longer than Etsy has been in existence and I’m quite familiar with many shipping costs. I was only shipping 5 cosmetic spatulas— 2 inch silicone spatulas. Out of curiosity, I asked the employee at the post office what that would’ve cost if I had bought directly from them. His response $4.82. So Etsy ripped me off by $3. Let alone its false advertising
Time to remove my listings from there. I just wanted to try it and it’s not worth it.
