⚠ WARNING! I do NOT censor people or delete comments, even if you disagree with me, or post something not-nice about me. HOWEVER, KZfaq DOES censor them. If you want to post a negative comment, the following things will get it removed & potentially get you auto-blocked from my channel by the algorithm: 1) If you leave a comment that is insulting to someone or would be considered "mean" 2) If you "reply bomb" (e.g. reply to lots of other comments really fast) 3) If you make a not-so-nice comment about how I look. I would like as much discussion, both good or bad, to be able to happen. So please keep these things in mind before leaving a "negative" comment. Thank you 🙏

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Etsy bug that has been in existance for about 4 years now, that automatically suspends new shops for "copyright infringement" when they upload their first product, one that isn't infringing. Etsy laters denies anythign was done, and most people get access to their shops back after 90 hours or so.

Saying things that need to be said. Good on you. Etsy has a reputation for banning stores for seemingly no reason. You have told people what the reason may be.

@WholesaleTed 9 ай бұрын

It's true, they don't communicate their reason for banning people well at all! The most common reasons are: 1) There are LOTS of scammers on Etsy. So new stores are often pre-cautionary banned, and those pre-cautionary new store bans can be easily appealed. Etsy is just testing you to make sure you're a real person, essentially. They don't communicate about this ban at all and people just suddenly get banned before they have listed any products often, and don't understand why. 2) Having a low customer satisfaction score, which is much harder and less likely to be successfully appealed. 3) Selling copyrighted products - which is also much more difficult to appeal.

Thanks for yet another great video, Sarah! I have a small POD store, and I love to learn as much about this business as possible. My biggest problem though is the feeling of "overwhelm". I feel there are so many things I should do, ought to do, that I might not yet know that much about (SEO for instance), and everything feels urgent, and because I'm still learning I don't know what is really urgent and should be prioritised, and what is urgent but don't need to be on my list of the 10 things I should prioritise first. Could you do a video on simplifying the most important steps to get ready to sell products, and different strategies to try to get your first sales? Anyhow - I love your content and your straight forward approach to things, keep it coming!

@WholesaleTed 9 ай бұрын

Thank you! And actually, I kind of did make that video. It was my latest video. Have you watched it? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hs6llsZi2rPQnKs.htmlsi=FLqXkpNxHZnOKtir It's really not that complicated. It comes down to: 1) Identify a product/customer base that you can do different/better. 2) Create products for it. Only add in products good enough that you would buy. Quality over quantity. 3) Be descriptive in your title/tags/description. Don't overthink it, just do your best to be descriptive. 4) Keep adding new products regularly, because the way the Etsy's algorithm works as I described in the video, it will help it a lot to just keep adding items regularly. You could set yourself a small goal, like add 1 per day. If your products are both great, AND fill a gap in the marketplace, that is the key to fast sales. Most people don't do that though. They just focus on niches with lots of great options already and don't add to it/improve it.

Really helpful. Had never considered the 'out of stock' angle before. Maybe one solution is to limit inventory numbers, then refresh, but not ideal if you don't want to intervene in your processes too often.

@WholesaleTed 9 ай бұрын

That is an interesting idea. Something I'd note is that you also don't want to go out of stock continuously as this also impacts your algorithmic rankings (this includes your own store, as Google isn't a fan of stores going out of stock all of the time). But it is an interesting idea to manage your risk! This is literally something I have dealt with, so its a genuine, serious thing to think about before jumping into a product with no alternative suppliers.

@SpeedbirdHeavy 9 ай бұрын

@WholesaleTed thanks for the tip, good timing as I'm hunting for cool products to sell for Christmas. Will certainly bear this in mind! Nga mihi nui 👍

@lihtan 4 ай бұрын

I'm thinking another idea would be to keep your own stash of inventory at home. If you suddenly run into a supply chain issue, you can still fulfill orders (although with a higher shipping cost). It keeps your customers happy, and also buys you some time to update your store listing, or find another supplier.

My biggest pet-peeve is how the size designation is too arbitrary not just between brands, but within brands too. Furthermore, the a "large" in women's wear is not a "large" in mens... A "large" size might be medium for another person. I don't understand why we don't use universal measurements such as shoulder-widths, hip-widths, chest and waist circumference, and arm/leg thickness all in centimeters. That way, it doesn't matter what a brand considers to be "large" or "medium" etc... I refuse to buy from a store that doesn't list the dimensions of the product. (I could care less for the packaging dimensions.)

@meonlyta 9 ай бұрын

Fab video thank you! I got banned from etsy, they didn't email me to tell me why and they didn't tell me why when i asked them via an appeal! How is anyone supposed to improve if they don't tell you!? 🤔 🤦‍♀️

@WholesaleTed 9 ай бұрын

So, due to large amounts of scam accounts being created every day on Etsy, they temporarily "ban" a lot of new accounts. That is what the suspension message I showed at 0:02 was - it was a "new account suspension." If you appeal this "ban" they will reinstate your account very fast, usually within a week. This account was reinstated in about 3 days after appealing it. It is very, VERY common to get "banned" within your first few days (sometimes within your first hour!) and people mistakenly believe that they have been legitimately banned. They'll sometimes even blame POD and say that is why they were banned, even though POD providers like Printify have a direct integration and are an official app partner with Etsy. It sounds like this was your "ban" - however, they do NOT explain it. You can see my suspension message didn't explain it. They just ask you to appeal it. It is confusing. The reason Etsy seems to do it, is to stop the scam accounts. The scammers don't appeal the ban, because they know they'll get caught. From Etsy's perspective, it is crucial that they stop scammers, because they are processing payments. Credit card companies like Mastercard/Visa do NOT tolerate scams. They have to be more careful than say, KZfaq, which isn't as vigilant at stopping scammers in the YT comments. It is annoying, and frustrating, but it isn't personal, and you weren't banned for doing anything wrong 🙏

There was also that fear in the back of my mind that i could be banned at anytime since I heard of a lot of stories just like what happened to me. No clear violations, original artwork, tried to do everything according to their policies. On shopify I can now truly create my own brand. Without those worries.

Some ethical considerations and duties that many "drive-thru" You tubers skip and/or ignore just to earn cash is a significant problem of individual responsibility nowadays, but the best parts is that the information that you provide is transparent, considers the ethics of ecommerce, and an excellent springboard for the viewer to embark on their own extended research and walk down the 'print on demand' path with more confidence. I am retired from teaching, in Tasmania, but too old to retire and too young to hire, therefore I am building my own multiple stream ecommerce business. And 'print on demand' seems like a nice little creative side hustle.

I mean you even go out of your way to tell people how to leave negative comments without getting them censored like is their such a thing as too nice? anyway your channel is great love it thanks.

Can you do a video on how to market our store?

When you already have orders but your on-demand provider is out how do you switch providers and can you use print on demand just for plain t-shirts with nothing on it and can they do Fabrics like just organic cotton linen and wool do you have the video on these sorry to be a pain

It has happened to me once, I fought it because the design was mine, another time was a cheaper t-shirt. I now use only one brand and I am more expensive.

Honestly, I think more people like you should raise their price and increase their quality instead because as I said in this video here, raising your price often helps you, not hurts you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hs6llsZi2rPQnKs.htmlsi=FLqXkpNxHZnOKtir

I have had an Etsy store called Barrs Boutique for 3 months with 30 listings and still haven’t made a sale how do I know if people can view my store? Being from nz I always wonder if my audience is only from nz?

Etsy cancelled me twice for no reason as a new store. Lost appeal. Still fighting Etsy. Starting Shopify store instead. Etsy needs to be sued.

I didn't fully understand the last part - if you choose e.g. Monster Digital as a print provider, people that live in Europe have to pay a lot for shipping and wait a long time for their product. You said that the Hoodie is printed in the USA, Europa, Canada and Australia - but all these are different print providers and you have to choose one, right? I don't understand how it is possible to provide a cheap and quick shipping for every country... Maybe I understood something wrong. I live in Germany and would like to provide a quick shipping with low costs around Europe, but maybe then I will miss a lot of income due to people that live in the USA, right? Hope you can help me!! xx

its been a few years since ive been on etsy, but when i was trying to get on it, you had to have the product already made and couldnt be from a 3rd party. You had to be the one crafting it yourself. have the rules changed? might have to relook at etsy again

@WholesaleTed 9 ай бұрын

It is true. And that is the compromise! I think that is probably the main "theme" in this video. I've seen a lot of videos from people promoting selling unique items, and promoting the potential profits from it, but they also DON'T talk about the risks. I have been stung by all of these in some way-or-another, and so I've learned overtime that there is a flipside to a lot of this stuff too. And so it's really up to each individual, risk vs. reward. But I think it is good for everyone to know what the risks are, so they can go in and choose to make them, if that make sense!
