Thanks to my friend who took me to your site and is letting me use his computer to vent. Tweet Share. Comments 11 Permalink. Tue Jun 3 The first question I would ask of the OP is: How much money is owed? If it's not that much, I say pay it and get your account reinstated. However, I don't think that Etsy can legally force you to pay the bill of your, I'm assuming, adult daughter.
You might want to do some online research to get legal opinions on this issue, and then contact Etsy and demand to be reinstated. My go-to threat for everything is a consumer complaint to the Attorney General, and Etsy's legal department is in New York. Wed Jun 4 In the world of online indebtedness, IP numbers are delinquent regardless of who used them.
That's because the penny pinching idiots who run the 3P e commerce world are incapable of training their employees to make rationale decisions. Don't get hooked on ebay!! Ebay band entire apartment buildings that share the same street address if so much as one person who may or may not still be living in one of the apartments has annoyed ebay.
The turnover in Silicon Valley must be astounding. None of these internet companies seem to have any institutional memory whatever and keep making the same stupid mistakes over and over again.
This is a fraud issue. I would not send an order to the same address no matter who they said it was. I sympathize with the OP as I have son who is a substance abuser and has stolen from us, but that is not anyone's problem but my own. I have to actually applaud etsy for this as they are protecting their merchants.
I side with etsy. OP enabled this behavior , so shares the blame. Thu Jun 5 Personally, I believe this needs to be more aggressively pursued at Etsy. Its one thing to "claim" it is because she used your computer. But you can register and buy on Etsy at any internet cafe computer, Ipad, etc. It is my belief that the issue is much broader involving possibly fraudulently used credit cards and other pertinent personal information.
The issue can not be corrected on a public forum - it has to be pursued at Etsy. If a given sale is not paid for, it's a simple enough procedure to cancel out that particular sale, and relist the item. Etsy sellers have full control over how and when they ship out their merchandise, so I'm not totally getting how this could have even occurred in the first place.
It would also help greatly if these cyber companies would NOT put all of their eggs within emails, and what gets gleened form cyber space. People within these companies NEED to learn that there are areas where person to person interactions is the only way to fly.

I'm amazed at how different life is two years later. Though the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life, I've grown so much as a result of having overcome such terrifying and daunting medical issues.
In a weird way, I'm better for having experienced these hardships. I'm more sure of myself these days and more confident I can face life's challenges better.
I have tried to turn this medical challenge into an opportunity and using this as a means to push forward with my small jewelry business and as a way to support myself again.
Your continued support is appreciated right now and even links to my shop are appreciated. Thank you to everyone who's helped and spread the word. Before you actually open your Etsy shop, you'll want to take a little bit of time to choose the right business name — because after you've started, you can only change your name once.
Moreover, if you think you might eventually expand your Etsy shop to a business website, Facebook page, Instagram or even an official business name, you might do some additional research to ensure that you can acquire things like a business domain name or DBA doing business as that match your shop's name.
The next step in learning how to start an Etsy shop is to list your items. Listing physical and digital items think printable stationery, patterns, stickers, gift tags involves separate processes. Add photos. Etsy recommends using at least five photos per item you can include a maximum of 10 so that customers can see your product from various angles and that the size of your images is at least 1, pixels square.
Additionally, if you have variations of a product — say, a t-shirt with multiple colors — you can include photos for those variations so that customers can see all of their options. Adjust your thumbnail. Complete your listing details. Give your item a title that describes the product in as much detail as possible, considering your character limit.
In the description section, you'll also be able to preview your listing for a Google search result, which can help you optimize for e-commerce SEO. Moreover, in your listing details, you'll want to ensure that you pay attention to the section entitled "renewal options. Each time the listing renews, you'll be charged a cent fee, so you'll want to be sure you remember this when you're starting your shop.
If you'd rather renew expired listings yourself, or alternatively delete them, you can select "manual" here. Shoppers find your item by searching for keywords in the search bar, so work backward and think about what a customer might type into search to discover your item.
Those keywords are what your tags should be. Complete your inventory and pricing. You can add variations — like sizes, materials and colors — and link the respective photos to those variations. Set your shipping price. You can also opt for Etsy to calculate your shipping prices for you which they recommend.
In this case, you'll be required to fill in item weight and size when packed. Then, based on that information, you'll be able to preview the shipping price that buyer will see. Publish your listing. When you're first starting your Etsy shop, you can include as many listings as you want. Etsy recommends at least 10, as the more listings you have, the more likely customers are to find you. This being said, however, you'll want to remember that your listings are not live until you finish the setup process, so you don't want to spend too much time on an extensive number of listings if you're looking to launch your store quickly.
Once you've added your items, you'll need to set up your Etsy payment preferences. With this option, you can accept credit cards, debit cards, Etsy gift cards and store credit and more.
Currently, Etsy requires that any seller who is eligible based on their location to offer Etsy Payments do so. Along these lines, although Etsy used to offer PayPal as a standalone payment option, as of May 15, , sellers in eligible countries, including the U.
Standalone PayPal is no longer available in these countries. Moreover, if you're eligible for Etsy Payments, you'll need to set this up as part of your payment settings — entering your bank account and residential address as shown above in order to receive your payment deposits from Etsy.
When you're starting an Etsy shop, this step will depend wholly on your country. In certain countries, Etsy will require that you provide a credit card for identity authorization purposes. If you're a U. At this point, you've successfully learned how to start an Etsy shop.
Once you click "Open Your Shop," your shop will be open. The URL for your shop will be in one of two formats:. Now that you've actually opened your Etsy shop, it's time to get started selling online. Just like a brick-and-mortar store, your digital store needs to be easy to find, beautifully curated, intuitively organized and constantly updated.
Here are a few more sections you can fill out to ensure that your Etsy shop opens and runs successfully:. Add a bio and photo. Your public profile is how visitors to the site can learn more about you, both as a business owner and as a person outside of your work. In your bio, you have free range to tell the public pretty much anything you want. Say a little about your background, your interests, your qualifications and tell the story behind your products, your mission and why you love what you do.
Set your policies. Also, be sure to include your returns and exchanges policy, and the payment methods you accept. If you've indicated "other" in your payment settings, you'll need to include information and instructions about this payment method in this section, as well as in each listing. Add sections. Group your items into categories so that buyers can more easily sift through your products.
A bit like a navigation bar, sections will appear on the left side of your homepage and include the number of products within each category. Rearrange your items. Feel free to move your items around on the page. Just like your personal "about" section, your store deserves its own bio, too. Advertising your Etsy store via social media is essential for garnering new business and keeping your existing base in the loop about new products.
