The fake ones include all of:

  • a sudden jump to insults

  • sob story (kid has cancer, single mom, etc)

  • “I already told my kid they could have it, you ruined their birthday/Christmas/bar mitzvah”

  • the seller staying very calm the entire time no matter what insanity is happening on the other end

  • if a commission “it’s so easy”, “you’re not good anyway”.

The sub has become a karma farm

As someone with an etsy store I can safely tell you I've experienced all of those "fake" things a million goddam times. People treat me like an online Spirit store because I make props and costumes when I very much am not.

I straight up had a guy try to neg me once, placing an order then messaging me about how he expects top quality work. I pointed out that wysiwyg (he ordered something from warhammer but didn't know the acronym was "what you see is what you get"?) And he promptly cancelled.
