I donate all my profits to charity, and I had thought about trying to boost sales by using Heartsy, but my markup is far too small. However, its good that Eddie from Heartsy commented here - clearly someone there does listen after all :) <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/erikaprice" rel="nofollow">Erika Price Jewelry</a>Erika Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15258466132635578080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019814718435380006.post-35409041997523672632011-05-31T16:15:34.613-04:002011-05-31T16:15:34.613-04:00Thanks Photo :) I appreciate your comment because...Thanks Photo :) I appreciate your comment because I really was just trying to lay out events and timelines of what my experience was.

I was just offered a feature on a similar site (smaller than Heartsy and slightly different structure) called Very Jane. I am definitely NOT priced for wholesale. When I ran the numbers I would lose on every item I sold. For advertising purposes, I can see it being worth something, but not much.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528337266061304890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019814718435380006.post-14805524154706229752011-05-25T23:20:44.970-04:002011-05-25T23:20:44.970-04:00Thank you Eddie for your post.

I tried to write a very fair blog post, that even gave some credit to certain things despite me being upset with Heartsy. <br /><br />I am in touch with someone again, who is working hard to come up with a solution to help me.<br />We are going to take a phone call tomorrow to try to iron out some things. <br />Honestly I would feel much better to know that my best interest is at the heart of these deals and that the things that did go wrong can be fixed. I am certainly not perfect and don't expect a new website to be either. I just expect accurate information, and an honest effort to fix things when they go wrong.<br /><br />Time will tell. If a new agreement is reached I will happily post the update here.<br /><br />Thanks for reaching out to help. <br />JanetAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722889905070289021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019814718435380006.post-38000522357818423972011-05-25T23:11:25.788-04:002011-05-25T23:11:25.788-04:00Hi Janet,
I'm Eddie from Heartsy. I'm so ...Hi Janet,<br /><br />I'm Eddie from Heartsy. I'm so sorry to hear about your experience on Heartsy. Over the last few months, we've worked with hundreds of sellers on hundreds of deals. We try our best to craft a wonderful experience for each & every seller but needless to say we certainly make some bad mistakes from time to time :(<br /><br />We clearly did a very poor job in our communication with you, both as it relates to the structure of the deal as well as the expectations of the deal. We're very sorry for how stressful this whole ordeal must have been for you. I can assure you that we're making changes internally to improve our communication to address the specific issues you have raised.<br /><br />I think it's important to keep in mind that Heartsy is only a few months old. With our rapid growth, we've experienced growing pains that sometimes spill over to our sellers. Nonetheless, we've introduced thousands of people to 350+ Etsy stores and driven our sellers over $300k in sales, so we're optimistic that we're at least doing a few things right. We have high ambitions and have a long way to go toward achieving them, but we've certainly come a long way in just a few short months. I can't promise that we won't make more mistakes, but I can promise you that the selling experience on Heartsy will continue to improve every day.<br /><br />Once again, I'm very sorry about your experience, but we sincerely appreciate your candid feedback. It gives us the opportunity to continue to learn from our mistakes and maximize our potential. If you have any additional thoughts, questions, or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me personally at edjames@heartsy.me.<br /><br />Best,<br />EddieEdward Jameshttp://heartsy.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019814718435380006.post-82143851231720131052011-05-25T23:10:42.688-04:002011-05-25T23:10:42.688-04:00Thanks for sharing.

You know, the weekend before last, I spent quite a bit of time in your shop looking at how you did things. (I guess you could say that I look at you as a role model) :) I want to do it like you! And this negative experience for you, doesn't change that for me! Thank you so much for giving us all the benefit of your experience. I'm sure that you'll continue to be a success!

They should know that customer service is very important in maintaining future relationships and sales. The fact that they just brushed you off is just RUDE on so many levels! And I'm glad to have read your post. Sometimes, people don't hear about the bad side, and only focus on the good side.
