My 1st Etsy Purchase

So earlier this week I made my first etsy purchase from MamaSheCrazy. I bought Key Fobs, yes I am still trying to find out what a Key Fob is. I also bought a couple other things from her. I have never actually bought anything on etsy myself before, but I figured I could by from some big name company or from some actual person who is a fellow Etsian.

It is so weird being on that side of the sale. Etsy tries really hard to make it a "normal" purchasing experience, but its just not.

First off it was extremely easy to purchase something and locate my shopping cart. Then they take you directly to PayPal. The thing that I did not know is that etsy does no automatically combined the shipping discounts. So, even though I offer shipping discounts (as does Mama) they were not taken into effect.

So, I paid and received my seller's message which was good. It had a lot of things that I was looking for including an explanation of how I would have my shipping overage sent to me.

Now I am not a patient person. I want and I want now, which is why all of the things in my shop are ready to ship.

Mama offered package shipping so I was able to focus my energy in to compulsively checking the USPS tracking.

It has been a great experience being on the other side of the etsy purchase. I suggest that everyone does it.

Post Note -
The package arrived a couple days after I originally wrote this and the key fobs were Fab!
