Anouncement:
I'm writing this 30 minutes before I have to go to work, but I have to get it off my chest and make things official. After thinking long and hard, I've decided on a few things
1) I'm no longer putting custom dicebags first. I won't stop making dicebags and I won't stop doing commissions fully.
2) This is not new but, I only work in the weekends for my shop, because I have a 40hour job.
3) Etsy is not my choice of platform anymore
Since I'm working in sales, I've learned a lot about turning profits, and truth be told, I'm not making any with my shop at all. That's why I'm changing some things to keep my little dreamshop alive.
I'm stopping the idea of a commission based shop, because I feel like it's draining me at this point. I dont ask to get payed for the searching service I provide, and I go over budget on some customers for their dream bags. That's why I've decided that the prices I have now, are the prices for excisting bags. If you do want a custom bag, we shall discuss reasonable prices, fit for the bag you request.
Speaking of which: I'm only open on weekends due to my job. I've told a lot of people who want to buy my bags this already, but sometimes I don't get the feeling people understand. I love each and every customer I get, but I can't check or do things on say a Wednesday afternoon, I put a automated message on facebook messenger for that, please understand that I am working alone and in my free time, because I love doing what I'm doing so so much.
Lastly, I've decided Etsy is no longer my choice of platform for commissions and outside EU shipping. I'm simply not turning my services and products into profit with this platform anymore. The amount of money they take from creators is, lightly put, outragious. I'm mostly paying the shipments all by myself, since they take from that as well. I could up the prices on Etsy, however, that mean you guys would pay for my account, which I don't see fit with my ideals. That being said, I do continue using paypal as a paying method, since they take way less off.
If you guys have more questions, please put them in the comment section so I can answer them openly for everyone to see.
With lots of love,
