Originally I had purchased, in error, an invitation that would not suit the theme that I was going for, but I also duplicated this purchase. I reached out to the seller let them know the circumstance and not only did they refund both of these purchases, but we were able to collaborate and she designed and created a masterpiece that I am truly in LOVE WITH 🩷 They went out and above for me and for that I am so grateful! But also their dedication to their clients, the timeframe that it took for them to create this masterpiece was less than a couple of hours! Literally, they came up with something for me, just for me, that I am just so excited to share with all of my guests that will be coming and it’s one of a kind! This type of customer service and dedication to your clients, is very few and far between this day and time, and for that I honestly cannot tell you how much I truly truly do appreciate everything that you’ve done! 🩷 I will be back with more things for you to create for me to include for my business. I look forward to working with you on many other projects to come! Until next time, keep creating my friend 🩷 ~Naomi Sharp, Sharp Creations

One aspect of this app that I am truly becoming fed up with is that it continues to show me certain goods over and over, simply “because I viewed” something else. There are certain “personalized” suggestions that I find very unappealing, that display in my account on a repeating basis, or just linger indefinitely. As such, it very much feels as if they are being shoved down my throat. However, I have no way of getting rid of them. This phenomenon may be due to the algorithm the app uses, but either way, it really feels like Etsy is trying to force these products on me, despite my *complete* lack of interest. In view of this, it would really help to have a button or function that would allow the user to *permanently* dismiss or block any unwanted product recommendation that displays in the “Because You Viewed” section; perhaps one that says “Don’t show me this product any more.” ———————————————— This is a decent app but as reported in August, I find that I take the time to review a purchase and too often it does not post after I hit “submit.” It just disappears and then Etsy starts spamming me with requests for a review of that very item. In fact, this just happened again this morning. I read other reviews where the same phenomenon has been noted. Still, there is no improvement. Reviewing a seller feels tedious but I generally force myself to do it at some point. However now, I don’t think I’ll bother any more. ————————————————

Genuine etsy sellers are great. Quality items, fast shipping, great customer service, you can tell that they care. Dropshippers and resellers, however, are becoming more and more abundant, and I find myself constantly having to spend time assessing a shop to ensure that it is legitimate. Even some star sellers are obviously drop shippers. I’m sick of having to question whether something is handmade or not when now, seemingly half the products are straight from aliexpress. On top of that, the app updates about once a week at this point. The buttons are constantly moving around and it’s tiring learning the new layout only for it to change again. Not only that, but now I have to click onto a total of *three* pages before I can see my favorites list. Why do “discounts” and “gift mode” receive their own button on the main menu bar while favorites are hidden behind layers of clicking? Profit for Etsy, obviously (and not profit for the sellers, of course, who are riddled with ever increasing fees). The insane amounts of notifications as well? Don’t even get me started. Etsy clearly thinks I need to know every time every single item I favorited a year ago restocks, or goes on sale, or simply exists. And there’s no way to turn them off in the app. This app has so much potential but there is still much to be improved. (Or simply returned to normal, as is the case with the favorites button).
