When do we start making some profit ...
Perhaps Im being impatient. But heres my stats for my shop in the last month (my first order came in on 26th ish of October, I opened it in September). I've had £342 in orders, £144 to Print Shrimp, £104 on etsy ads and offline adds and £147 in etsy fees (that includes the listing fees for my 400 listings so far) .... I'm so far at a £106 loss - which is fine as I know I have to invest to begin with. But just wondered when you started to see a healthy profit - Etsy fees a real killer!

Wow - I'm at 380 listings and the thought of the cost of getting to 2k listings makes my eyes water! What motivates you to keep going?

@Mel Betts I'm not really active on other social media so I'd be starting from scratch to even build a following to get out there on SM which is why I felt I had to use the ads. I'd be nervous to turn them off now! Lol

Notifications on issues with sizing
Is there any plans to implement an email or message being sent when a print we upload isnt the right size? I accidentely uploaded an incorrect image size for a print, so it went to the printers with some of the image cropped and as a result my customer wanted a refund and Im issuing that plus a replacement so Im out of pocket, however I just didnt log back in to see the error until it was too late and it was already being processed. Without constantly logging back in to check for errors - is there a setting to have these errors sent to us?

@Mihai Volintiriu it was when I placed the order

thanks I appreciate that, as I ended up out of pocket refunding the customer, and ordering him a reprint

Digital Prints on the same listing?
Hi Guys! I’m on my second sale and tinkering with pricing, and wanted to also add a digital print variation alongside the unframed/framed and sizing? Is this possible or does it need to be a separate listing? As when i tried it asked me for digital print unframed, oak frame, black frame, white frame etc which obviously doesn’t make sense

I found the issue with this is that if you have postage costs on your profile for certain areas of the world, it will still charge them for digital. I had a USA customer last night who ordered digital and it charged them for shopping so I had to in and refund them. I think the general idea is to list digital separately ... Given Iv already spent £50 on listing fees ... It looks like to duplicate and separate out the digital ones I'm going to have to spend another £50 🤷😂

First Sale!
I got my first sale!!! After weeks and weeks of hard work, listings etc, I finally got my first CA-CHING! and then low and behold, a few hours later - another one. The relief is real! Good luck to everyone else in these early days, holding out for their first order.

@Emma Newman I have 260 listings before I got my first sale. I post 5-10 every day. I am using Etsy ads, and have now had 6 sales this week. 4 of them via ads (1 off-site) I want to turn them off as even with 6 sales, I'm just breaking even against listing and selling fees now - but I'm concerned the flow of traffic will come to a halt so not sure what to do.

Normal or not ?
Is this normal to have so many views and visits and have no sales. It’s my 5 days since my shop opening do I need to be concerned

Its just taken me 7 weeks of hard slog to get my first sale - and then I got another one a few hours later. I knew it would take some time and momentum, patience is key :-)
