Two things I want to make you aware of which might have a negative impact on your sales. I have recently found out by mistake through a customer from France that Etsy is supressing your listings. Yes it's a thing. What does this mean? Etsy is showing only certain listings or none at all, depending on regional laws or just algorithm manipulation, or a combination of both. I had listings which the customer was looking for and I sent the links directly, which he couldn't access as they were blocked in France. Etsy calls it "Geo-suppression". To be fair I was not surprised to find this out as it just enforces what I was suspecting for a while now. SECOND ISSUE and this is a big one: Do yourself a favour and check for your artwork on Temu or eBay as it might be there, sold by others. I have found my artwork being sold across multiple shops on both Temu and eBay, in the thousands... I already filed multiple Intellectual property reports with Temu and I'm trying to get the shops removed, unfortunately they are not as strict as Etsy so I have to keep pushing them. This is where a collective effort would hopefully be successful. With eBay, I am waiting to enrol in their VeRO programme which will allow to report the infringing content. If you do find any infringing content, below are some links and materials to help you. https://www.temu.com/intellectual-property-complaint.html. https://www.ebay.com/sellercenter/resources/verified-rights-owner-profiles Get your artwork removed, especially now before the holidays, don't let them profit off your work.

Hey! I'm new and just getting started. I've got my first few listings on Etsy and excited to keep going. The one thing I am unsure of is if I am upscaling my images correctly? I'm creating them on Midjourney and using the upscale button on there before I download. I'm then resizing the image manually on my computer to the maximum pixel and quality in Jpeg format. So my images are 9000x12780 and 96dpi. Is this sufficient, or should the dpi be higher? If so, is there a free way to do this? Most upscaling softwares I've looked at promote 'free' but are actually paid after a trial.

I’ve created images in midjourney and upscale creatively before downloading them, when I preview the image it says it has 72DPI which I don’t believe is enough for printing although Tom has said in his videos that if you upscale creatively it will be good enough quality for resizing to any size. Do I need to do anything else to the image or is it actually ok for resizing and printing as it is?

Any tips on how to increase my conversion rate? I have a total of 90 listings so far with just one sale—I clearly need to change something. I'm not sure if my mockups or designs are bad. What else could I improve? I've also been running ads, but so far, no luck. Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/JourneyWallArt?ref=dashboard-header
