#18 I think I oughtta ask the Jesus on a Laptop seller first, but I’m pretty sure it would be allowed if I send you a handmade printout of a certificate. I’m so doing it.
@#15 whimsicalis…-
as a seller on etsy, i get that vintage & art items can be sold there. but this stuff should not be advertised on etsy. no matter how nice she appears to be. you aren’t really receiving anything tangible-she’s basically using etsy as an online advertisement/website to do dionne warwick/psychic friends shit.
sorry, just my 2 cents.
ps- i do think there are some gifted people out there with a talent to be mediums, just don’t think it should be whored out on etsy.
oops- i retract my psychoticness- you said you “hated” not “hate” to report her…so that means you did, and you, like me, feel bad about it, but still knew her shit was illegal.
thanks and sorry for the jumpin’ down your throat
You know, if I were in the market to hire a physic, channeler, tarot card reader, etc I would no sooner hire someone of the internet than I would stop at one of these places I drive by. Word of mouth and personal recommendations would be the way I would find someone.
I just figured it out. My kids do some crazy amusing shit. I’m going to type it up, print it out then put my coffee on it, glue a few beads to the pages and sell it as laugh therapy.
btw, most of the talented mediums don’t even whore themselves out anywhere for any amount of money. most of them are “ashamed” of their gift.
one of my best friends has a psychic relative and once in a great while i will taunt him until he gives me a reading..but he is very shy about it.
ps- some of the stuff he said has come true, so i am one of those nuts that does believe in this stuff, IF it is in the right setting…
If you need a good mind fucking I will do it for a few bucks. Don’t forget to have your social security number, credit card number, date of birth, bank account number. I will also need your Mother’s maiden name and a copy of your driver’s license. I will need your home address and your place of work and what your hours are, so we can schedule your mind fuckings around work hours.
Don’t you worry I am certified through a Church- you can trust me.
Iscream…was it the capillary damage on her nose and cheeks that gave you that idea? I’m from the Palm Beaches and I know they are worshipping at the Chanel temple by the sea as we snark.
I’m not sure if a teleconference is tangible enough to be sold on Etsy. Assuming she is giving the classes over the phone… it isn’t very clear what her format is.
Alas, I’ve sided with #43. She’s got a point. If people flag this seller, then why not flag all the copyright violators and vagina porn while we’re at it.
According to their website they are having a service at 5:30pm this Sunday at the church in Palm Beaches. After that its on to the Super Bowl bookies since they’ll know who will win.
Nothing at all to do with this listing but – I just had my cat castrated and am so sad the vet wouldn’t let me keep the bits. They would have made great owl eyes or fairy eggs or some kind of magical Twilight whimsy. I could have named them Bella and Edward. *sigh*
#50 madamedefarge – you totally win “Regretsy Comment Of The Day”.
If only I knew how to insert a pic of that lovely red ribbon I see floating around… perhaps someone more savvy could do it for me? The madame deserves her props!
I’ve decided that for a LIMITED TIME ONLY, I will give readings for free… just convo me with your yes or no question and I will get back to you with the answer.
I hate to get into all the technicalities, but this looks presented as a service, since she’s charging by amounts of time, and services aren’t allowed, right?
“This lesson will be via phone. Please leave a message, I will return your phone call as soon as possible to set an appointment time for your class!”
If she’s really a psychic why do i have to leave a message, won’t she know WHEN i am calling and just pick up the phone?
Why doesn’t she already know what time I want to make my appointment?
Man, if I had just a little bit less scruples, I could teach people how to be psychic too. But noooooo, me and my damn sense of honor, gotta sling sandwiches to pay the bills instead.
I would trust this lady before I’d buy food from Etsy, and at least she isn’t selling worn goods, specifically earrings or hair accessories (don’t these sellers remember getting checked for lice as a kid in school?).
There is a blog floating around somewhere out there. What the guy/gal does is scour Etsy and checks the business name for valid business licenses and whatnot, then posts the sites up who aren’t legit businesses.
pleasedontpickme- just had to look up what you were talking about- i had bookmarked this link the last time someone mentioned about etsy sellers being “called out”…here is the link again, for anyone who is interested… http://etsycallout.wordpress.com/
Gunfunnit! Ya got me twice today. First that chocolate bacon “In a Room” … and now I had to scrape myself off the floor after I deciphered the message in the crystal ball. Gad … I’m lost in admiration and this doesn’t happen often.
I’m not going to even look at Regretsy again until my stomach stops aching …. and I can get myself under control.
Etsy has really gone over the edge to allow this bunk on there. Tell me exactly how is it related to handcrafted, vintage or supplies? Just because she’s more than 20 years old does NOT make it vintage!!!
I’m actually scared to write anything snarky. She could start combining her very special “pyschic” ability with say, an actual craft, like voodoo dolls. She would find me and cause me to get an ass zit or something painful.
She haunted my dreams last night. But they were only in black and white. Need to fork over 50 bucks to get some colorful ones.
OOoOOOH! I wanna take her class! Then I will know for SURE in advance what will SELL on Etsy and I will know exactly what to make with the cheapest materials and I will be rich rich RICH! $50 is a small investment in myself and I could right it off on my taxes!!! as a business investment! SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!

She has gone and corrected the spelling of ‘psychic”
she is onto us Killer!!

We can test that theory further – she’s also left a ‘t’ off ‘psychic developmen(t)’ in the tags.
Or maybe it wasn’t left off on purpose. Perhaps we’ve got it all wrong and she’s actually offering classes on how to develop men via psychic brainwaves. If so, the evil side of me could be…
February 4, 2010 at 4:38 pm
How can she sell this on Etsy? Is it because it’s the art of bullshit?
February 4, 2010 at 4:40 pm
I’m psychic I can tell this crap will be on regretsy and then I’ll actually sell something ooooo…
February 4, 2010 at 4:40 pm
“Holistic Horseshit” is a great category!
February 4, 2010 at 4:40 pm
About the only thing they ever predict accurately is that you are going to have a very high phone bill anyway.
February 4, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Of you had taken her class you would have seen this coming.
February 4, 2010 at 4:41 pm
PRICE HAS SINCE GONE DOWN TO $40!
February 4, 2010 at 4:41 pm
I love the new holistic horseshit category! That’s a group that needs more mocking!
February 4, 2010 at 4:42 pm
I thought Etsy rules say you have to have something tangible once the deal is done.

I’m going to open a babysitting business on Etsy.
February 4, 2010 at 4:42 pm
Is Etsy now the moderne version of the ‘Whole Earth Scatalog ‘?
February 4, 2010 at 4:43 pm
No, ducksnew, they have said this is allowed. Actually, they said tarot card readings are allowed, because you get an email or a PDF file.
February 4, 2010 at 4:43 pm
ok, bronc, that crystal ball image was FUCKING awesome!!!!
and fyi, i am reporting this nut job.
because i can and i will.
February 4, 2010 at 4:44 pm
I predict that there will be yet more wonderful whimsicle fuckery for many days to come.
That’ll be 60 bucks, people.
February 4, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Next we’ll see people becoming ordained ministers on Etsy.
February 4, 2010 at 4:45 pm
She seems like a nice lady. I hated to flag her.
February 4, 2010 at 4:46 pm
#14 great idea! Wanna become ordained in the Church of the Cyclops Baby Jesus? I’ll list it!
February 4, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Oooo – someone to help me interpret my notebook of ideals…
And, ditto on the crystal ball image. A tip of my turban to you, Bronc.

How about a Bad Attitude Development Class??

Your class will be individualized for your level of bitchiness.

Maybe the tangible thing you get is a Magic 8-Ball to help “channel” your new talents?

#27 because someone who already conned your friends and family is more trustworthy than someone on the internet?
February 4, 2010 at 5:00 pm
Well the IF part was the operative word but yeah, if I were in the mood to get screwed I’d keep it in the family so to speak.
February 4, 2010 at 5:03 pm
Every time I need a good laugh I stop by Regretsy….you never disappoint, and the kicker…it’s free! LOVE the picture…sure had me laughing…
February 4, 2010 at 5:04 pm
I’m totally going to be a “life coach” and whore myself on Etsy. This has sealed it. (or teach people how to primal scream. I haven’t decided yet.)
February 4, 2010 at 5:05 pm
@#27 Suda, I use the Zoltar machine at Shakey’s, only costs a quarter (or token).
February 4, 2010 at 5:06 pm
There’s only TWO in stock!
We better get on it, quick! Before someone else buys them up!
February 4, 2010 at 5:06 pm
I just figured it out. My kids do some crazy amusing shit. I’m going to type it up, print it out then put my coffee on it, glue a few beads to the pages and sell it as laugh therapy.

Any matchmakers on Etsy? I bet she & the ‘artist’ of ‘Adam & Eve’ fame would make a cosmic pair.

If I were to “read” this lady, I think she drinks…a lot.
February 4, 2010 at 5:18 pm
btw, most of the talented mediums don’t even whore themselves out anywhere for any amount of money. most of them are “ashamed” of their gift.
one of my best friends has a psychic relative and once in a great while i will taunt him until he gives me a reading..but he is very shy about it.

February 4, 2010 at 5:23 pm
I think it’s sorta like politics, if you want to sell it you’re probably not qualified.
February 4, 2010 at 5:26 pm
Please…people…we have to get on the same page here.
Stop flagging these people on etsy. It is like building a dam on the river of awesomeness.
I realize that there are Etsy rule violators on here, but they bring so much joy. I want them to keep it up.
I am calling for a boycott to all flagging. May the whimsicle fuckery flow forevermore!

She posted this on Etsy because her psychic abilities let her know it would lead to massive exposure on Regretsy.
Fame whore.

People need to flag MORE bullshit.
If you read there “Pledge to handmade” or what ever gay ass pledge they called it, many things totally violate the policies.
Just make it another Ebay. So far within the last few days, items that have made it on here are shit that shouldn’t be sold on Etsy.
I’ve got all kids of junk I’m about to list on my new “Vinnage” site.

Sorry, but I’m not learning anything from anyone who has a mullet.
February 5, 2010 at 7:47 am
I’m actually scared to write anything snarky. She could start combining her very special “pyschic” ability with say, an actual craft, like voodoo dolls. She would find me and cause me to get an ass zit or something painful.
She haunted my dreams last night. But they were only in black and white. Need to fork over 50 bucks to get some colorful ones.
