Etsy-Fied

After my run-in last December with the doll crazy, I abandoned my Etsy shop.

I felt annoyed that I got burned, and annoyed that my only response from Etsy was to "contact the buyer" frig that. She's obviously got a stick up her arse about something and I am not dealing with that. So I left them sitting on ice for a month and dilly-dallied paying my bill to stick it to them.

It was petty, but then, so was the feedback I was left.

Today, I took a good look at my listings there and examined what has sold, and what I actually like dealing with. Thinking of shitcanning the doll aspect totally. I am fed up with crazies.

Narrowed my product line down to sewing related goods, antique china, a few vintage toys, hats, purses, gloves. I also like all things french, it's in my blood, what can I say?

I enjoy these things, and don't mind dealing with them. They are mostly low-end or hard sales, so I can afford to have them sit for awhile before selling but I also have the added assurance that my armoire can be emptied out slowly over time because I will finally be doing something about it.

So, over the course of the next few days, I am going to start my revamp, a few things at a time. I am also going to move my shipping time out from 1-2 days to 2-3, to give me time to track down an item that may have gotten moved. I am also going to add the shipping cost to smalls and offer free shipping. I feel like this is a good start point.
