I made this pattern while my partner was trying to beat the boss at the top of Bilewater.

So thank you for giving me SO MUCH TIME to work on it!

The ones we've tested (left outside for a week) still seemed fine to me! That said, if for any reason there's any UV/rain damage please feel free to let me know and I'll send you a replacement or a refund. 👍

Star★Salts @starsalts.bsky.social · 3d

Yes they are! They're metal so they're pretty durable.

Star★Salts @starsalts.bsky.social · 3d

Yes! We're currently working on getting those restocked (although the tariff situation has put a massive delay on these :') So it goes)

After a week of trying to contact an actual human being I managed to actually talk to someone at Etsy! Only to then be told to send an appeal... to an email I have already tried to contact and have since been left on read... And I guess that's just the most fitting end to this.

Star★Salts @starsalts.bsky.social · 4d

Ah thank you!
Unfortunately still no response so, I think it's safe to say I'm never going to bother with Etsy again ahaha.

Ahh gosh thank you so much for the support! 😭💜

Star★Salts @starsalts.bsky.social · 7d

Ah thank you so much!
I plan to officially relaunch my storefront later this week.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to pay out of pocket for shipping my remaining orders because Etsy refuses to release my funds and isn't letting me purchase shipping labels. They're not even allowing customers to check their order status so their janky automated system is screwing over everyone ://

Star★Salts @starsalts.bsky.social · 12d

I'm currently in the process of relaunching my Shopify!

Star★Salts @starsalts.bsky.social · 12d

Current status: still trying to contact the last living human being working at Etsy! I was told to request a callback only to be given a link to a defunct page. Then I was instructed to try via the app and well. Looks like my journey for human connection continues...

Star★Salts @starsalts.bsky.social · 14d

Thank you ! I do have a main store but I haven't had much time to really work on it/fix some bugs.
I guess now's the perfect time ahaha

Star★Salts @starsalts.bsky.social · 14d

Considering the amount of AI slop on their platform, I'm not holding my breath ahaha,

Star★Salts @starsalts.bsky.social · 14d

But of course when I'M the one reaching out to Etsy about a dropshipper violating their policies/stealing my original, non-IP artwork they not only ignore my requests for help and allow the store to continue selling my work but they then flag MY work for IP INFRINGEMENT 😭😭😭

Star★Salts @starsalts.bsky.social · 14d

It seems that Etsy's automated system went completely haywire on my account because literally every single listing of mine was marked for violating their seller policy and caused my store to be fully suspended :') Here's hoping an actual human employee looks at this soon !!
