CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE US REALLY TRYING THIS????????? |
My mail carrier might really do that! She is great, although admittedly I live in a really small town and we tend to chat by the mailbox when I'm outside and see her coming. There are some real perks to small town life!

oh well, there are other postal delivery places. they should know not to run off customers. |

Yes, June, I do the same.
I have a feeling though that they are going to get tougher on us. I ship a lot of things overseas and I just have a bad feeling about it. I'm ready to close up my ebay business and postage is one reason :( |

ME too...after 10 years, between the ebay crap and postage crap and the new tax laws...it is no longer any fun...nor is it profitable...[/quote]
You are soooo right! All we do is make Ebay rich :([/quote] I pay over $300 a month....so tired of it....I never have nasty customers on Etsy,,,but on ebay...OY... |
Jacquie, I haven't had problems with customers for the most part. It's the fees that make me nuts.
And the new tax thing really did it for me. I don't use Etsy b/c of what I sell but it's a very nice site! |
