- 21Why does Etsy automatically refund buyers without seller approval?Marketplace support closes customer disputes and issues refunds instantly without reviewing shop policies or seller input. This leaves merchants out of pocket for both the item cost and shipping fees after buyers misuse products or demand unearned returns months later.
- 15Why hasn't my online order shipped yet?Uncommunicative sellers and confusing tracking histories leave buyers stranded without updates on delayed packages. This forces customers to navigate repetitive support systems and guess whether their order will actually arrive.
- 2Why are my legitimate customer reviews getting deleted?Automated fraud filters frequently flag and remove genuine reviews, leaving businesses unable to recover them because customers cannot realistically provide proof of purchase months later. Asking customers for documentation also frustrates them and risks damaging relationships. Meanwhile, platform support rarely responds, leaving merchants feeling helpless when real feedback disappears.
