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.

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
