How to find REAL artists?

Etsy used to be my go-to to find original art but I can’t find anything not manipulated or started with AI. This goes against everything I believe in so I’m here to see if anyone has other resources to find small artists in a one stop shop platform? I hate what ETSY has allowed the site to become.

My most recent search was to find a portraitist to do a custom work of my child.

Are we serious now?😭

I just ordered something from Etsy yesterday. And today I checked the estimate date for the delivery and it says December 5-21. Are we serious now? I’ve bought from this seller for months now and the estimate delivery and the actual delivery itself is a week or less than a week. Is this an error?

Got shreked with a copyright strike. Do I have a chance or is it Ogre?

I sell antique newspapers and I had a magazine from the 1880s discussing the then century old play “Puss in Boots.” I made sure not to reference Dreamworks at all but it still got hit with a copyright strike.

Am I within my rights to sell the paper given the play is over 200 years old and the paper is over 120 years old. Pic related.

US buyer getting asked to pay custom fees via in app message on Etsy that leads to a external site.

My wife was asked to pay custom duty fees for a purchase she made a couple days ago off platform.

She received a message from the seller in app with the word "kindly" and a link to some odd site (https://production(dot)alice-iot(dot)app/transit-party/21b1dc19-d567-4847-bab7-3bebb9997ab2/tracking/{trackingnumber}) that triggered my scam feelings.

Etsy support said I shouldn't pay anyone off platform. seller had 2 reviews and 15 sales and only open a month.

I asked for a refund because of additional fees not listed anywhere on my original purchase, I'm I wrong?

19yo seller based in Poland just launched my first listings, looking for feedback on seo and photos

Hi everyone!

I'm 19, living in Poland, and just launched my Etsy shop. Since it's Friday, I'd love to get some feedback on my listings and overall shop setup.

its my shop:

https://www.etsy.com/shop/IvShopSt

  1. How do my photos and listing titles look to potential buyers?
  2. Is my shipping info clear enough for international dispatch from Poland?
  3. What’s one key thing you recommend focusing on to get the first 5–10 sales?

Thanks in advance for any critique!

Should I Separate My Physical and Digital Wall Art Listings on Etsy?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m an Etsy seller offering physical wall art prints. Currently, I also include a digital download option as a variation within my physical listings.

However, since digital downloads don’t have tracking numbers, I’m running into issues with my Star Seller status.

I’m wondering if it would be better to create separate listings for my physical products and digital downloads instead of offering both in the same listing.

My main concern is whether creating separate listings could negatively affect my shop’s algorithm performance, visibility, or ranking.

For those of you who sell both physical and digital products on Etsy:

* Do you list them separately or offer them in the same listing?

* Have you noticed any differences in SEO, visibility, or sales after separating them?

* Could separating my listings have any negative impact on my shop’s performance?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice you can share. Thanks in advance! 😊

Multiple shops in one household?

Hi! Sorry if this is a silly question.

My mom has a very successful Etsy shop that’s she’s been running for years (same household). I want to open my own shop, however I don’t want to risk ANYTHING happening to hers. I currently have my personal account linked to an old shop that is currently deactivated (I used to sell some digital designs a long time ago).

I would like to create a completely new account from scratch to sell my items on. Would that be okay? I already made the account but am hesitant to open the shop. Can I do that or should I just reactivate my old shop and do a fresh start by renaming it?

Sorry if that’s confusing. Basically can I open a shop if my mom’s running one and I have an old deactivated one? Or should I reactivate my old one?

Thank you!!!!
