Etsy Merchant Feeds is a self-hosted tool that allows you to create XML feeds for use in Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Google Shopping, and probably many others, so you can better advertise your online store, if you have one.
Opened a shop there, listed one of @vaviurka's handmade teddy bears, filled out all their creepy, intrusive bullshit (bank account, payment verification, identity verification), item online, all good.
Two days later, account suspended. No reason given, no email sent, nothing. Apparently I can appeal, but not sure for what.
What's an alternative that works, or do I have to make my own webshop because commercial internet is useless scum?
I love my work as an illustrator. I also love my work as a pet-sitter. I absolutely love it when my two jobs collide.
This is a pencil portrait I drew for a pet-sit client.
Pet portraits can be commissioned through my Etsy store, click the link below to order yours (hurry spots are limited)
So after a year+ back on etsy I've decided it's cheaper to just run my own site and I'll probably still have the same amount of sales
Etsy is costing me about $150 a year and I'm selling about $30 more than that.... that's a lot of fees
Which if I have to pay retail or even wholesale for supplies, it's basically $0 profit and the only reason I had any profit this last year is because most of my sales were digital patterns
So now I'm creating yet another website and realizing I have so (1/?)
Expire except for a few digital patterns that sell on occasion. It's just not worth it for how much I end up paying in fees.
I also need to work on homework today but I don't want to... lol. This week is the last week of my Bachelor's though so I can't just not do my finals. 😑
GREEN appreciate post! (2)
Green is fresh and lively. It's scientifically proven we're naturally programmed to be happier in green environments. In urban areas green pops so much, like we just crave the sight of it. And in nature, it harmonically fits the environment.
