[QUOTE="KylieS, post: 9494873, member: 22292"]I've made over 400 sales on Etsy I have never experienced any of the problems you're describing - several sales over 1000 euros in there too (groups of items tho). It might happen in the future of course but overall it's a cost of doing business. 'No seller protection' just means Etsy doesn't automatically insure items you send against loss or damage if it's over 250USD, not that they will never take your side in a dispute. Things can seem little skewed if you read some horror stories in the Etsy forums, but really this sort of happening is a relatively rarity given the vibe of ses that are made through the site. When issues arise, there often seem to be problems with the automatic case handling bots refunding clients; then it usually turns out that gets reversed after the seller appeals to Etsy with evidence. However, while this has been my experience with ceramics and tableware, it might be different with jewelry because people can move such an item on much more easily than my wares, so fraudsters will target jewelry more than the sort of thing I'm selling. It's horses for courses but I wouldn't discount Etsy because of thier 'seller protection' ending at 250USD.[/QUOTE]
