@Mihai Volintiriu Thanks for this, its useful to bear in mind!! I have set it up this way so that when you scroll on etsy, it says £9.99 and free delivery for each listings (so its under a tenner and hopfully has drawn more people in). Currently on A5's im making about £2.44 after the etsy fees plus printshrimp print cost. I have had no issues with delivery so far so not gone for the extra £2 for delivery. But I will likely increase my A5 size price in the future if any issues. As im new to this my main goal for now is drawing someone into the listing and then hope they select an alternative size/greater profit. I have sold a couple A5s but these dont seem as popular so my thought is the reduction in profit could be worth it! Im monitoring it though!

@Bart Tutaj Thanks so much for your help! Ive give it a go and will see how i get along!

@Jan Ibbott Thanks for your help Jan. I have had my shop open for a couple years (however only just really started to use it properly) and there are no funds held or anything. Ive looked into it further and it seems to be very common that the payout and net amount dont match. However, from what I have now researched, it seems to be that the net profit is correct (as this accounts for all the deductions, as its net) however this is done per calendar month whereas the payout is on a different timescale. Over a year this should balance out (hopfully). Advice I have been given says: "The easiest way to think of it is, net profit = your sales minus Etsy fees, marketing, postage costs etc. for the time period you’re viewing. Payout/deposit = the money that is actually available to be sent to your bank at that point. They often won’t match because some recent sales may still be pending/not yet available for deposit, and your payout timing may cover a different period to the Net Profit figure. Etsy also deducts things like fees, refunds and taxes from the available balance before paying you".

@Jan Ibbott No worries!

@Jon Roberts I have my first stall in Sept so not 100% sure how it will go. However, I have prepared a couple A3 portfolios with 1 of each print. I used a local printer company (as this is for display only) so that I can demonstrate the prints. Then my plan is if someone wants to purchase, they order with me and its sent out the usual way using the etsy platform connected with Square and printshrimp. I have set up square (sell in person) and linked it to etsy so it has the full inventory available when you sell in person - all you do is select the item they want and order this way, they pay then etsy automatically account for any sales in your totals as well. This way, there is no need to carry stock. Coming up to xmas, I intend to go to a mixture of local markets to test it out, although aim for etsy online to be my main source of selling.

@Bart Tutaj thanks so much! haha yes, I thought it was a fun play on words! Hopfully the next month starts to pick up with the holidays coming to an end!

@Lesley Cameron thank you so much!

@Curt Howett thanks so much. A couple of them where from family or friends who made a purchase. I would suggest this is initally helpful for the reviews and seen others across skool/other advice platforms suggest simialr. However, the other ones where just from other customers - I hadnt asked them. My most recent was a line drawing of a cat and some text and sold in the US which I was really surpised to get a review for!! I think Etsy sends an automatic email asking people for reviews when they make a purchase.

@Graham Eagle thanks so much, i did think it must be more complicated than just not being ableto use one word. I was hopeful that not using any colours, branding etc and just a generic image would be sufficent however, it appears that the word becomes trademarked if when viewing the poster/ad/item it would become connected to the advertised tournament at Wimbledon, as youve set out- all rather complicated! I will certainly be avoiding from now on. Thanks for your help!

@Sally Wilson thanks, me too!
