  1. I sell little electronics bits on #Tindie just for fun. The unhinged US #tariff policy made a mess of that for every international seller on Tindie.

    Interesting – I searched products on Tindie for "tariff duty" and many prods come up w text apologizing but excluding US buyers, or coaching them to expect a charge to receive their shipment.

    In Canada, our post office doesn't accept the order at all unless the tariffs are pre-paid to avoid probs at the delivery point. Not worth the effort.

  4. So it seems like @tindie has done away with PayPal disbursements? Having to sell in USD was always a wrinkle of using Tindie but at least I could keep those funds in PayPal in USD.

    Now Stripe converts those funds back to my local currency and Tindie charges me a fee for doing so?

  5. So regarding the ongoing shitshow with leaving @tindie )and trying to get them to delete my account data (see earlier nonsense from today mastodon.social/@concretedog/1 ) the only thing they ACTUALLY have deleted is a community thread I posted yesterday. Seeing as they didn't actually delete my account... I've just reposted it... interested to hear if anyone else is trying to leave #Tindie and having issues. #GDPR

  6. So my #tindie acc. Got a snarky reply here this morning saying my acc was deleted.. but, dear reader, it is not. It's simply frozen. All my data, orders, stock, bank deets are still there. #GDPR next. I realise this migjt take time so why tell me its deleted? @tindie @amrowsell

  7. Finally off #Tindie. Glad they shouted at me one last time. It was so cool back when I first worked for them. Sad for those days, but the last few years of it were depressing and were run terribly. Onwards!

  8. for the love of all thats holy @tindie I sent a "delete my account" email on the 25th April and it's still all there... @amrowsell is there anything I can do to sort this?!? #Tindie

  9. Well, the good news is @tindie payout worked, took a day, but no fees.

    Bad news is no sign of the $2500 of "waitlist" orders - only one Faikout sold...

    So may be no point in keeping stuff listed on #Tindie anyway - clearly customers have lost confidence too.

    #Lectronz is going really well though - highly recommended.

  10. #Tindie doing a survey.

    Yep, @tindie is asking what they need to do.

  11. I still don't have my "Is Tindie still fucked" bot. @tindie #tindie

  12. Still have an account on @tindie despite using the correct way to request deletion of my acc and data on 25th April. Might have to go via #GDPR right to erasure complaint soon. #tindie

  13. I clearly need an "Is @tindie working yet, daily bot"

    FFS #Tindie talk to us, to me, reply, say what the hell is happening.

    Will you EVER come back in to service. If not, just say and we can all walk away.

  14. I am not sure #Tindie @tindie really have any future.

    There was a way to do this, if you were not incompetent.

  15. Seriously @tindie do you want to stay in business at all?

    What is the latest excuse?

    Anyone wanting my stuff (and the Tindie wait list is well over $1500 now) go to shop.revk.uk and buy there.

  16. Turned out I had already opened a shop at Lectronz in March 2022, but I never enabled it as its features were rather limited back then.

    My Tindie shop is in permanent Vacation mode now, waiting for better times to come. I still got some payments in there waiting for disbursement, so let's see what happens. But from all the bs they've been feeding their shop owners, I won't be surprised if the whole thing disappears.

  17. Migrated my little electronics shop from Tindie to Lectronz today. Took some effort to get all back-and-forth links between the shop and my website in sync again, but at least the import tool at Lectronz made copying the product pages from Tindie easy.

  18. A month of #tindie madness.

    I have popular products and a lot of waitlist items now we have stock at zero.

    I'll open up stock, but only once disbursements are working.

    THIS HAS BEEN A MONTH @tindie

    The communications at EVERY STAGE has been totally useless.

    Someone has even written a whole new (better) Tindie from scratch and launched it in this time even.

    Other established platforms are getting way more sellers, such as #lectronz

    Mad!

    Why would a seller use you now? Tell me?

    Boost!

  19. @tindie so, nearly a week later.

    I wonder what the latest excuse is, or if they will even bother with an excuse.
