    I bought a 50 € “silver ring” that was made out of copper on Etsy. After it started changing it’s color and painting my finger black i searched for it on Ali and found it for 1,10 € there.

    I couldn’t revive the 5 Star rating i gave the shop, nor did they or Etsy get back to me after inquiering. After that i stopped using Etsy completly.

      Yep. Etsy stopped caring completely when they realised how much revenue drop shippers were bringing in. There was no way I could compete with silver plated copper from China with personalised engraving for $15 when the chains took 8+ hours to make and were made with pure silver. This was back when silver was $30/ounce. Now it’s $91. And the chains were 2-3 ounces by the time I was done.

      How long was it? Most banks let you do a credit card charge back for at least a year after purchase.
