[QUOTE="pearlsnblume, post: 9494879, member: 141"]I respect your opinion, but can not agree with most of what you said. I have been selling there for about 11 years there and had my share of a few very bad buyers who were liars plain and simple. As far as seller protection, this is not about insurance. This is about being told that if a buyer says they did not get it or it is NAD, etsy sides with them now. In the states here, if you show that the item was delivered and even signed for by the buyer, etsy still sides with the buyer and lets them keep the item and gets a refund. That is not seller protection. And you can not file a claim with the post office that it is missing, if it shows delivered. I personally know some sellers there who have had reserves on their money with absolutely no reason given and no explanation. Yes the bots interfere too much. However, how many sellers have to suffer because the bots are wrong and they can't get their sales money for months on end... if ever? There are many documented cases of sellers shipping items out only to have etsy cancel the sale, refund the buyers their money so the seller loses both their money and their item. I don't think it is a rarity on Etsy as you mentioned. There are even ways on FB that tell people how to buy stuff on etsy and get it for free due to etsy's lack of real monitoring. I am glad you are not having the many issues that are now on Etsy and I hope that continues.[/QUOTE]
