One Major flaw with Etsy is they will penalize you if you are "late" processing orders.
When selling personalized products, being "late" is the customers fault, 9 times out of 10.
Reasons why you need to Extend Processing time
Customer forgets to send you a photo
Customer asks for many revisions
Customer is slow to reply
No matter the reason, you want to keep your Etsy account in good standing!
There is a Solution!
You can "update ship date" and extend your processing time, without seeing the dreaded "overdue" message.
Click on your order inside Etsy, and choose "Update ship by date"
Then choose +10days, to give plenty of time to finish revisions and production
Warning! You can only do this 1 time per order, so best to extend a good amount, we recommend +10days.
