Hey everyone, I’m starting digital selling on Etsy. I know I might be a bit late and the competition is really high now, but I’m planning to go all in and take it seriously.

I had a few questions and would really appreciate advice from experienced sellers:

• How long does it usually take to get your first order?
• Roughly how many listings should I have to start getting attention from buyers?
• As a beginner, should I invest in ads or focus on growing organically first?
• Does Etsy actually promote new accounts, especially if you run ads?

My product is religious activities, a tracker

Any tips or real experiences would help a lot. Thanks in advance! 🙌

Hi, I’m trying to sign up on PayPal but it’s saying my email is already linked to an account. The thing is, I’ve never created a PayPal account before.

When I tried to log in or recover it, I saw that the phone number attached to the account isn’t mine, so I’m not able to receive any OTP or verification code. Because of this, I’m completely locked out.

This is a bit worrying since it looks like my email might have been used without my permission. Could you please check what’s going on and help me secure my email? Either I need access to that account, or I want my email removed from it so I can create a new account properly.

Let me know what details you need from my side. I’d really appreciate a quick response. Thank you!

I started a thrift clothing business on Instagram, but it didn’t get much reach or sales. I still have leftover stock—what’s the best way to sell it on other platforms, offline, etc? Also, is it worth restarting the business on a website or a different platform, and how should I approach it differently this time?

I’m planning to start selling digital products on Etsy in the mental peace/wellness niche, but I’m not sure how it’ll go. If I don’t get good results, I might switch to physical products later.

Is it easy to switch from digital to physical products on Etsy? Will it affect my shop’s views or ranking if I change my niche like that?

Is this a good approach or should I stick to one type from the beginning? Would love some advice!

I’m planning to start selling on Etsy but I’m a bit confused about what to sell. Should I try listing different types of products and see what works, or focus on one category from the start and stick to it? Would love some advice!

I was running an online thrift store on Instagram, and now it is almost dead, not a very good experience with Insta thrift because you always need to depend on the Insta algorithm. If they want to make you grow, it is up to them, but if luck is not on your side, then you will get almost zero views, which would immediately make you lose confidence; fewer viewers means fewer chances of even getting a query, leave aside sale, or you end up spending on meta ads that would make sales per cost very high.

So after all this, I want to switch to eBay and try some reselling there, but I am confused about choosing a product as eBay is full of everything. Where can I get an untapped opportunity, or should I go for general products that everybody is involved in?
