Protect Your Seller Reputation

From answering repetitive shipping questions to managing angry buyers when USPS loses a package, our VAs act as the patient, professional face of your shop.

Message Triage & Snippets

Maintain your Star Seller badge by ensuring every initial message is answered within 24 hours.

  • Saved Replies: Utilizing and updating your Etsy snippets for fast, consistent answers to FAQs.
  • Order Tracking: Checking USPS/FedEx statuses and politely updating buyers on expected delivery times.
  • Digital Downloads: Helping non-tech-savvy buyers locate and unzip their digital purchase files.

Case & Review Management

Turn angry buyers into loyal customers and protect your shop from Etsy algorithmic penalties.

  • Issue Resolution: Handling refund requests, coordinating return labels, and processing exchanges calmly.
  • Review Responses: Thanking 5-star buyers publicly and professionally addressing 1-star reviews to show excellent service.
  • Case Escalation: Gathering proof of shipping and communicating with Etsy Support when a case is opened.

Custom Orders & Proofs

Stop going back and forth for days. Your VA gathers all necessary details so you can just make the item.

  • Requirement Gathering: Asking buyers for missing names, dates, or photos needed for personalized items.
  • Custom Listings: Creating private listings with the correct quoted price for special buyer requests.
  • Proof Approvals: Sending design mockups (from Corjl/Canva) to buyers and tracking their approval before production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the VA know Etsy's specific policies and Star Seller rules?
Yes. Our Etsy VAs understand the importance of the 24-hour response metric. They know how to mark messages as spam correctly, utilize Etsy's built-in snippets, and navigate the case resolution center without violating Etsy's terms of service.
How do I give them access without risking my shop?
Security is critical. We strongly recommend using secure password managers like 1Password or LastPass so you can share login access without revealing your raw password. They operate under strict NDAs and are supervised by the PM.
Can they help with listing SEO and tags too?
While this specific role is focused on Customer Service and order management, our VAs are cross-trained. If the inbox is quiet, they can certainly use tools like eRank or Marmalead to refresh your tags, titles, and descriptions as directed by you.
Why do I need a Project Manager if I am hiring a CS assistant?
A poorly worded reply can result in a 1-star review. Your free Sagedoer Project Manager acts as an internal Quality Assurance editor. They spot-check the VA's replies to ensure they match your shop's friendly tone and verify that they are following your specific return/exchange policies correctly.
