Do NOT use Etsy's canned policies for your business. Your business is unique and it is yours, not Etsy's. Your polices and information about your processes, procedures, turnaround times, pricing strategy are as unique as snowflakes. No business is run the same. Write your policies and make sure to have them published and available the DAY YOUR SHOP OPENS. Review them often and adjust them accordingly. This is the best way to avoid future issues with customers. Clear and concise policies are the blueprint for a smooth running business. By you following those polices and customers following those policies, there should be no questions or issues. However, if a customer has an issue, you can simply refer to those policies to clear mostly anything up with the customer. You are not responsible for the customer reading those policies before they decide to make a purchase from your shop, but that doesn't excuse them from those policies should they neglect to read them. Stick to your policies when an issue arises. If your policies are complete and concise, problems should be minimal with customers.

If you are a handcrafted artisan, make sure to incorporate the fees that Etsy charges per sale, into your pricing recipe. If you don't, these charges will eat up your profit margin.

Never forget that you are under the umbrella of Etsy and their policies, despite that you may be a company with your own existing policies and procedures. Etsy will undermine these often. If you are not willing to be undermined as a seller and owner of your own business, then Etsy might not be for you.

I usually set aside 30% of my earnings for taxes. It might seem like overkill, but it really saves me from the nasty surprise of a huge tax bill. Even if you end up paying less, having that cushion in a separate account keeps things stress free when tax season hits. It's worth the peace of mind!

Open a dedicated business bank account. Keeping your business income and expenses separate from your personal finances simplifies tracking and makes tax time much easier.

Once you find your niche, look for ways to make it ever more unique. This will narrow down your competition. It's like finding a niche inside a niche inside a niche. Like, go from hats to trucker hats. Then from that to leather patch trucker hats, then to custom leather patch trucker hats, and on and on.
