intersting how sellers would keep on spending money on producing and shipping for three months for free? and no, the tracking number doesnt play a role
I started my shop in December and jsut recently started to get sales every week. I got this email a couple days ago. Thankfully they are still giving me 70% at the time of order. So I can still fulfill orders. That was my only worry. With Printify I haven’t even noticed a difference because by the time the order is eligible for withdrawal, 100% of it is available. I heard about this and thought it would be much worse lol I’m pleasantly surprised. Great video and thanks!!
I am an established Seller, have just had this put on my account. The only reason they may have done it is that I had a sudden bumper week of orders in the Xmas build up. Seems a pretty poor way of looking after hard working, genuine Sellers. There must be better ways of dealing with unreliable Sellers.
Hi, Sorry to hear this. :( While we understand Etsy's reasoning, we also agree this isn't an ideal situation for sellers. Unfortunately, it's out of anyone's control. The best course of action is to keep up your sales and continue providing excellent service. 💪Hope this gets resolved for you quickly!
same thing here, i even asked chat support for the reason and they told me it was the sudden increase. well duh, everyones had a sudden increase in the lead up to xmas! they just told me that since its automated, that it should be lifted when the bot sees the orders slowed down. so who knows when that will be :(
I buy my labels from etsy with tracking and I have missed deadline about twice this year and I don't have lots of orders, I still have a reserve on my account. They just need cash flow that's all.
Etsy starts feeling like Ponzi scheme now. I am feeling like I need to cash out all my money before continuing selling there considering the fact that they can suspend your account any time.
Where I live postal tracking is not free and the cheapest option costs $2 dollars extra. Prior to Covid shipping costs for my small items cost 50 cents. I was able to offer free shipping. They are now up a whopping 300% . If I add $2 tracking to each item that only costs $4 , I have to pass this cost on to the customer or operate my shop at a loss. Several customers complained about his and requested ordinary air mail. I complied and 99% of the orders I send without tracking not only get delivered but often slightly quicker since they don't have to be signed for at each stage of the shipping. As an aside , the increased postal charges meant that from having a wide range of things in my shop I have now had to drop everything except the one best seller since the cost of all the other things became too expensive. If you are selling expensive items then the tracking cost does not impact much but for haberdashery supplies it is a killer. The net result is that sellers operating from outside the USA are at a big disadvantage.
Hey, You should be able to see the tracking for your Printify item in the "Orders" section of your Printify account. If you do not see a tracking number, please check which provider you're using or request a tracking update from our support team help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/4483637997329-Why-is-there-no-tracking-for-my-order
Really ? LIE !! My order was delivered to the buyers with tracking numbers on time and still i get only some of the money ! talking to Etsy support ? it`s better to talk to a wall !! R.I.P ETSY !!
Hi, We know it's not fun when this happens. Unfortunately, this is quite common, especially for newer sellers. Rest assured your funds will be released. We recommend that you keep on fulfilling your orders as you normally would!

Hey! Congrats on the sales, that's awesome! 👏 Thanks for sharing your experience and keep going!
Holding one amount per shop as insurance is reasonable. Holding one amount per order, that's pure Etsy greed 😊
But what if you buy all your shipping labels through Etsy and have tracking for all of them??

I became broke by selling on etsy...what a scam
I clicked on this video because I'm ANGRY 😠
IT is PURE BS from etsy and that's all it IS! NO NEED FOR BUFFER BS! HONESTLY THIS IS WRONG!!!!!!
A question that is not related to the video, does the print provider operate on weekends?
Hi! That depends on the print provider and any public holidays in the provider's location.
How do i see the tracking page to show them the tracking on my shop for my digital orders
Hi! Printify does not fulfill digital orders, therefore, we cannot provide tracking for that.
its not true that if you get the star seller payment reserved will be lifted
When new seller money available for deposit ,it take 14 days but not yet
Hi! It may take longer as it varies per seller.
I have a reserve in my account . Also i see nothing in shipping and tracking

Etsy should never hold funds from a Mexican family owned Etsy shop. There might be unexpected issues
When your shop is put on reserve you just quit greedy Etsy
Hey! We know it can be frustrating. Rest assured, you will get your funds. Keep fulfilling your orders as you normally would. 💪
