Just this past month, I purchased three items on Etsy from three different sellers. Two of the sellers never shipped my items and were NOT Star Sellers, however, one of the sellers shipped my product quickly, and was indeed a Star Seller. I now have 2 “cases” on those sellers who took my money but never delivered.

I don’t necessarily agree with “how” Etsy is evaluating their score for “Star Seller”, however, I suspect there are many unprofessional sellers on Etsy that could ultimately cost Etsy their business.

I have the Star Seller badge. Typically, my activity for jewelry is slow this time of year, however, I now have new buyers which I usually don’t see until Nov/Dec.
