DAMN ETSY

I WANTED TO SET UP SHOP ON ETSY. I CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE PAGE LOOK ALL PRETTY HOW SOME OF YOU GIRLS HAVE YOURS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO PUT FOR THE SHIPPING, POLICIES, NONE OF IT. I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT. MAYBE I'LL COME BACK TO IT TOMORROW WHEN I'M NOT COMPLETELY FLIPPIN FLUSTERED. ANYWAY, ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREAT!

As far as your policy, read others shop policy to give you some ideas.

Ashley B. Instead of always having to go to the post office I'd suggust getting a digital scale. It really helped me out. And alot of people are nice on etsy, you could always message someone if they do something your not sure about.

Or alot of people on here are also etsy. You could always message themHappy

I'm kind of confused as to what your question is...

If you don't know how to set up an Etsy shop, I suggest looking through the Etsy how-tos (there are loads of articles on how to set up a shop and how to run one) and having a browse through some of the more popular shops to see how their owners have decorated them. There isn't much you can do to make your page "pretty"... you only get to customise your banner.

Also, were the capitals really necessary?

You can tell she was aggravated, and when something is making you frustrated capitals are totally necessary. Helps get it out. LOL

in the us, you can also order flat rate boxes
you can order them online at usps.com, they come in different sizes
the boxes and delivery are free, and then you can price shipping accurately but which box the item fits in
