Beware of Alchemy
If you haven't used Etsy's Alchemy yet, be careful. You need to process everything through Etsy so it will register correctly with Paypal. And don't be lax with any deadlines - and don't make your deadlines too long - you lose the opportunity to file with Paypal for undelivered items after a time.
I ordered a custom wine cork backsplash from an Etsy seller (would love to place the name here, but my Etsy conscience is telling me not to). And our relationship was cordial and relaxed. I made the due date July 31, well - we were both fairly lax about it, After it was finished I paid.....
I kept convo'ing about when it would ship and all I'd receive is excuse after excuse about why it hasn't shipped. Finally at the end of September I received a convo that it had shipped a 'couple of days ago'.
Well, it's now the end of October and it hasn't arrived. I've contacted the seller numerous times with no return contact. Not a word about the delay with my $100 purchase. I feel very badly that this was my one and only experience with Alchemy and it's been poor.
Not only have I lost my ability to file with Paypal but I have no way to leave feedback because it's been so long...
beware.............
