Seller cancelled orders from a sale
Hello—I’m not sure if this is a common thing or happenstance or whatnot, but I had an issue recently where I placed two different orders from an Etsy shop during a sale and on the dates they were meant to be shipped, the seller cancelled both with no outreach or explanations
I’d been a little worried about the integrity of the shop to begin with (they sell custom neon signs and have at least a few dozen individual listings for the exact same item), but figured I’d give them a try. Is this something other people have seen/are seeing? Is offering a big sale just to cancel orders a newer type of scam/issue going around or is this just a one off thing?
edit. to clarify, when I say “scam” I mean less about stealing money and more about it being a product that was never really for sale to begin with/would never have been sent at all. That’s on me for using the wrong term. Apologies for the confusion
