So I bought a ring on Etsy.

It’s a nice ring.

.

.

Sterling silver with aquamarine.

It seems well made and wasn’t expensive.

Problem?

It doesn’t fit.

.

I wanted it for a large finger on my right hand and ordered the size 10 1/2 I always wear on that finger.

Clearly this wasn’t a 10 1/2.

I contacted the seller, who turned out to be Prateek from India.

.

.

Uh, no you didn’t.

.

.

You sent me a 9 1/2 to 10.

And when I sent Prateek this picture (of the ring sizer I bought to avoid problems exactly like this) to prove it?

He never replied.

Grrr.

😡

  2. Ooh, Prateek is taking a pretty big risk there. Etsy sellers live and die by their ratings, and clearly he’s down for a bad one. I wonder if it’s possibly a sizing difference between the US and India the way there are different shoe size numbers between the US, UK, and mainland Europe? Either way, he clearly needs to fix this. I hope he does.

      1. I recently had a problem with etsy. I bought a rubber bracelet with a God Quote. I never remove my bracelets but after a measly month and a half the ink rubbed off. So I am left with a gray bracelet. I wrote a shit review and the seller cried and wanted proof, so I took a photo. They then insisted I change my review because they offered a replacement, but they want the other back. I said etsy doesn’t allow customers to edit or remove reviews but the seller can request. So I added a star and said they would replace it, but kept the rest of the shit review in tact.

  6. Oh that sucks. And sometimes it just isn’t worth the time it takes to fight over a return, send it back, etc. The most you can do is put a picture up and write a review on Etsy. Because there’s always time for vengeance.

      1. Would an American company state that when selling abroad?
        I know when I ordered a pair of boots from somewhere in Europe they sent the right size — it said so right on the boot. But there was no way I could get my size 12 foot into it. They said they had no idea sizes were different in North America, and refused to take the smaller boots back. They sent what I had ordered as far as they were concerned.
        I sold them to a friend at a loss. They were no good to me.
