hello can you explain to me why I don't have access to the forum even though I registered

Thank you, Jess, very helpful and informative video.

Oh wow thank-you will not even bother with doing this, no privacy is not worth the risk...

I don't like to drink coffee , but I like the coffee flavor ;)

Etsy should be reported, already deducting people's money, but still closing shop accounts, they should be reported

Hi Jess, I have watched many of your videos and they are really informative - one thing I am wondering I have not seen so far is what do you think would happen if I updated my ETSY shop thumbnails? I have started doing this for a shop and it seems my views are dropping rapidly? Would updating be expected to affect search/views? Many thanks.

Its not for everyone, youre spposed to use it in moderation and always taje your coffee fresh and not brewed for hours

Thank you very much Jess, it was very insightful. I knew about all of the fees except the 0.32% for the UK (where I am). I have just opened my shop and decided to opt out of offsite ads and not use Etsy ads for now. It's an experiment to see if I'm getting sufficient (or any) traffic and sales through Etsy. If I don't, then I might consider ads, but that would hurt my profit margins, no doubt

Opened new shop, payed 30$, i got 2 orders and i was suspended without any email or information. 1 order was canceled because it was paymet processing note all the time.

Thank you !!!

Couldnt find Alura on etsy …

i used to drink tea for all my life , but since two months i started in coffee,(nescafe,folgers,brasilian coffee)i get an intake of 3 quarters of spoon of coffee in a cup ,2 times a days , one in the morning breakfast with food,bread ,eggs, and for lunch ,i mean after lunch coffee with crackers,it keeps me motivated to do some chores at home, at night i have dinner with seltzer water and a glass of gatorade and i have good sleep.in fact i dont feel adiction for caffeine, my addiction is water,oranges,seltzer water

Been selling on ebay for 20 years might stay there

Payed the fee today but still cannot sell had listed an item a few years ago

Hey Jess Van Den, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel

So you are not caffeine free

I responded to your response of my comment earlier. However, I wanted to ask, do you have any videos on shipping procedures on Etsy? How to set up getting paid for sales?

hello Jess, thank you for what you do for yourself and the community. May I ask you, if a person opens a shop and adds me as a member, do they have to give me both the password and email of their account so I can log in as normally I would do with my own, or is it that there is some sort of way where they can add me by my Etsy or associated Gmail account? like I will be granted automatic access after they approve me from their side?

Great content. Thank you.

My first week off caffeine (3-4 cups a day before), I experienced memory and speech impairment, lack of energy, cravings, depression. Weeks 3 onwards, all of the above started to go away. 4 weeks since quitting …Never felt better.

While watching your video, I looked up items that are selling on Etsy. Everything from Black Adam shoes, a Marvel action figure statue in the original box, Levi's 505 jeans, Liz Claiborne purses, Tommy Hilfiger shirts, all new or a couple of years old. So how is this not took down? It is blatantly obvious. I just don't want to start an account and sell sneakers and jeans to be told i can't because it isn't made by me.

Recently I've gone down to one cup of tea or coffee every three days or so. What a difference. My anxiety has pretty much disappeared. And I've had it so bad.. What an impact

Thannk you so much!!

I go through this. It really hit hard after a relationship issue.

I love how you worded this❤ my friend & I are planning to open our own businesses on Etsy (separately) & I’ve been doing so much research. I ran into your videos & they’ve been a huge help! Thank you for sharing. Feeling motivated 😁

Thank you. I'm loving your videos so far. So helpful. Although I am a maker, I'm currently trying to get control of our service business because it's making the money right now. I'm so all over the place with everything and I have a good feeling about these books and this information. You have a new fan in me❤

Thank you for sharing. I like your relaxing sttructure. Do you do your own bookkeeping? That is the part I struggle with. I can't afford to hire anyone right now and I'm still learning. When do you make time to go over your financials, sales projections, etc? And you do you do it together?

For me, coffee is my wake up ritual. I almost always make my own at home or in my semi, because uts a LOT cheaper, AND I use much less grinds in it, than anywhere else.

a good nights sleep is more important than we can even imagine, so if the coffee is the problem cut it out. i love my coffee but i only ever drink one cup in a day but if i had problems with my health or sleeping i would give it up.

Hi Jess I'm also in Australia and planning to open a store to sell in the US. I notice that etsy has a markup when converting AUD prices to USD for US customers that works out to be more than 5%. Do you know if I can ask to be paid by etsy in USD if my bank account is listed as here in Australia? I thought a Wise/Revolut account could work or maybe a multicurrency bank acount. I'd like to have my store in USD and be paid in USD so that the store prices aren't changing everyday and to avoid the exchange rate markup, thanks

Also - a lot of baby blankets listed as "homemade" are coming straight from China. Buyer beware. I've seen a few sellers actually list the factory as a partner but most do not.

The "low skill - low will" seller is kind of depressing. I was so excited to start my shop but quickly discovered I was competing against bottom-dollar resellers and stopped listing. I have plenty of skill but it's hard to compete with resellers who claim to be homemade. Glad Etsy is vetting. Maybe I'll start to get traffic and start listing again.

❤❤

Thank you sharing your experience

It’s fair to assume they will control which demographics get higher traffic. Don’t ask me how I know this. I just do.

im trying to fast no coffee and sugar, its pretty hard. i dunno what to do so.. since kind a habit to me.. 😭😭

good vid, music distractful however

Do you still have anxiety?

Its terrible how caffeine is promoted especially in children and teens. With sodas, energy drinks and coffee Then they have to take pharmaceuticals for their supposed caffeinated actions and see therapists. Or cant sleep. along with manic emotional issues. Or rapid heart rate issues. And the worst is keeping that addicted mindset for years to come. Just say no and pursue happiness, thats free and you deserve it. Not a trendy drug for profit or illusions of its glamour

The problem is, that they get rid of good people too. Being banned for unexplained "risk factors" right after setting up the shop with only handmade clay figures was an experience that 1. shocked me and 2. - it seems that this happens to many of us, which is even more shocking. I will never buy anything from this company and focusing on share holders is the illness of society IMHO. Robot-service will break down everything, since it just does not solve all issues.

Hi from the Gold Coast Jess, just found your channel. Love your content (and calm delivery) so much! This was especially helpful for the next step with my Etsy shop. Thank you ✨❤️ Lisa

First time on your channel. Never mind your cat, they're pretty much independent anyway. About the new $15.00 fee...? What real business person in their right sane mind would complain about $15.00? First, this miniscule amount is a pittance, especially when compared to starting other businesses or franchises. Second, it's tax deductible. So if you're serious about your shop, STOP WHINING and pay the fee. It's a normal cost of doing business. I don't have a shop here yet but am planning several. Thanks for the vid.

It's not what is was supposed to be now. It's just about how much money Etsy can make and the original vision has been lost. Sad.

Yeah as a customer i hate going pn there and just seeing so much junk

I think it's time handmade sellers abandon Etsy. Etsy has gotten too bloated with resellers and manufacturing companies who can deal with high volume sales at drastically low profit. Sadly Etsy isn't really a place for the handmade makers anymore... and its time it reaps its losses and sink in reputation to that of Ebay or Offer Up... cheap garage sale items for a "deal". lol At this point WE are working to bring traffic! To be charged fees and possibly losing sales to competitors lowballing product price points, hurting our opportunities to make a decent profit. It's better to get own website if we're already working to bring traffic! :) What do you think?

👍🏼

Gah the vocal fry on this is impossible to listen to… make it stoooopppp! 😢

love it. Is it possible to do this with steel or is it too hard:

Etsy should be cracking down on the swarm of scammers that infest their website and on the lack of customer support that they (don't) offer!!!

No opening fee today. So this 20cent listing fee was there always?
