You are an angel!!! Thank you! I finally feel like I can't start. if you had any idea how much of a godsent you were for me. I’m at the end of my rope and I didn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. I’m not trying to get rich. I’m just trying to make enough money to survive and feed my autistic son. I promise you this I will do everything in my power to pay this forward like you have, so many others want to act like they’re helping and they give you just enough information and then they sell you a course. In my mind that tells me they’re not really making money off of Etsy. They’re making money off of selling the course. God bless you.

@shawnshalest_hws Жыл бұрын

Etsy will charge you a listing fee each time you post a new listing. After someone buys an item from you that listing has to be reposted and Etsy will charge you another 20 cents listing fee. Because of this you have to say if you want Etsy to "Automatically" repost your listing and charge you the fee. Or if you want to "Manually" report your listing after someone makes a purchase. I keep all of my listings on Automatic so my listings are always available to my customers. I explain listings in detail in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7h7ebiqx5nSgas.html

Hi! I was wondering if Etsy is asking for payment details of your account isn’t it unsafe by any chance, like prone to scams?

@shawnshalest_hws 14 күн бұрын

Nothing is scam proof but Etsy has put measures in place so you know when it is them contacting you via Etsy messages. They use a 3rd party service to add your banking information. I also recommend using a business bank account to connect to your shop, not your personal account.
