Review of Etsy
Etsy was once THE most dynamic online marketplace for artisans, artists, suppliers of craft wares & vintage second hand sellers. Now amidst the multi millions of items listed per search, genuine sellers are having their paid for listings buried under the amount of 'made in china' mass machine made bits that scamming money rackeeter-ers (from my shoppers experience in Britain) are rebranding as THEIR handmade items. All they do is take a 75p chinese machine made junk jewellery necklace & put it on a new backing card with their shops name stamp then resell them for on average £15. That is a disgusting mark-up & they are NOT hand-makers nor do any of them qualify for Etsy rules of sellers, BUT let Etsy know of any shop scamming customers and? Nothing in most cases, Etsy seems to now have preference for turning the profiteering sales while scamming artists / artisans & other legitimate sellers who have fee's & advertising responsibilities to make money off of shops selling high numbers of TRENDING mass machine produced bits. I have shopped on Etsy for sixteen years dedicatedly to support many shops with artists I adore the works of, but it is getting tiring searching new searches to see so many machine made chinese bits being rebranded and resold as sellers handmade items. I would rather buy directly from the chinese sellers, (than be scammed by Brits,) paying £15 for necklaces that CAN be purchased directly from chinese shops online for 75p. And there's far more than necklaces being rebranded as Etsy sellers wares. I paid £55 for a bespoke handmade dress to last week see there is a 'made in china' label within it and contentions with some customers in reviews who had later discovered the clothing label too. The dress was stunning & very well made, that was not the contention, the shop owner who is British & selling in Britain as if those dresses are handmade in Britain & she simply needs time to make them herself, hence the long wait to delivery dates, had not disclosed anything relating to made-in-china, nor given any due respects to them being made-in-china at all, yet is selling dresses for £45-£55 a piece + delivery. Etsy appals me. It has for some years. I barely want to log in but there are genuine sellers on there who do deserve a global platform but also deserve a site that they are fee's, reputations, time & dedications investing themselves within, which highlights, champions, elevates them AND NOT ITEMS THAT BREAK ETSY RULES OF SELLING. Machine made items have enough shop selling platforms globally, Etsy was intended to be a global handmade market-space. Having reported many scammers to Etsy, I can only think that the site no longer perpetuates its origin ethics, though it still spouts on about them as if they still origin ethics matter to Etsy at all.
Review of asos
Placed a large order over a month ago and still haven’t received it. Tracking status has been stuck at “inbound out of customs” for three weeks now. I’ve reached out to the care team twice and have been told both times to wait longer and then reach out again if I don’t receive it (knowing that nothing is going to change). With the new tariffs in place, I would not recommend any U.S. residents order from ASOS.
Review of Pinterest
Absolutely horrible, they told me i eill not be getting my account back and what did i posted? Semi nude art... and yet there are millions of worst nsfw in the app than art. My pins falls into education/art category, it wasnt meant to be nsfw anyway.
Review of fiverr
the good thing is when fiverr likes you you get warm leads, but there are many things i can think of that could make the platform better, first fees are high for both freelancers and buyers but I'm not sure lowering them is an option you guys are considering, second the mobile app is almost useless just as a messaging app, why don't freelancers get the analytics on there like gig performance analytics and more information, when i want to check my analytics i have to open fiverr on my mobile browser then enable destop mode then misclick becasue it's so miniscule to navigate on desktop mode, third is, good freelancers don't get recognized because the algorithm only relies on reviews to determine that, another metric that hurts freelancers is when they get messaged but don't get an order fiverr sees that as weak conversion from the seller when the message can come from bots and still hurts the seller. but at least fiverr is an inbound game, i hope it doesn't turn into upwork with briefs which makes everyone compete for scraps and no one makes money not the freelancer nor the platform because the outbound model just drastically brings the market down by low quality freelancers which also as a byproduct leave a bad impression on fiverr buyers. and also yes apprently briefs hurt the seller when you engage with one but don't sell, the algorithm sees the freelancer weak and lowers impressions on gigs. also some bugs like on the desktop why is it when you hover over a gig with the mouse cursor the video turns white while loading the preview instead of staying at the thumbnail until the video preview loads... also talking about the thumbnail, we have to put the thumbnail in a couple of frames of the video as well so the thumbnail gets displayed as sometimes fiverr shows a random image from the video instead of the thumbnail itself there are youtube videos that talk about this. also promoted gigs could be seen as a hailmary of fiverr dying because of not being able to hande freelancers and buyers organically, so this fiverr ads thing could be giving an unfair advantage to low quality seller on the expense of high quality ones but i can't complain now personally i just reached level 1 after 6 years! and i am planning on using fiverr ads. natural selection i guess haha. hope i was helpful if anyone on the fiverr team read this, have a good day.
Review of ups
customer service is so terrible and poor help. for over a week they have been saying every day on the phone that I will get the package today or tomorrow. now it turned out that my package was lost and stolen. the worst company that can be. the package was important and expensive. be careful, if you do not want to lose your package then avoid this company.
Review of squarespace
I'm a web developer and have had a few clients that tried Squarespace as their site's platform. With initial setup, it looks like it will offer a great solution and design options. Unfortunately, over time it becomes an exercise in frustration.Updating existing pages, especially moving pictures, and fine tuning a page's look is nearly impossible. Simple choices like font size are too strict and hard to customize. I suggest going to another solution and only doing Squarespace as a last resort.
Review of gog
I initially went to GOG to find old game titles to play on my Linux box with emulation. The selection was huge. I've since been using GOG for new/er games and it is great. They do not have every release but the selection is still fantastic. Being able to download the full installer for games is another bonus. I spent 6 mos without the internet and being able to install and play games was a bonus. I try to recommend GOG to all my gamer friends.
Review of fineartamerica
Fine Art America is a great place to find multiple artist and fine gallery photos and art work. Their prices are very reasonable and shipping has always been good. One can find almost any type of art they are looking for in multiple categories. My experiences has always been top shelf.

Review of opera
This browser is next level, a lot of free and unique futures, free social media, bar, included, free VPN, crypto websites supported (the only well known browser that support this), free crypto wallet, etc. The only place I don't use opera, is on my ipad. The only browser that doesn't work as a layer two on safari, is Brave browser on ios.
Review of nbc
86% shows 1 star only because there is no option for zero stars. heard on fox they hired the RNC leader then fired her. didn't even know NBC still exists. last time i saw it years ago a man looking woman [ still unsure what he she was] was in tears that trump won. if this person is still there get ready to cry again. trump will win again.
Review of namecheap
⚠️ They suspend domains without prior notice, without explanation, and leave you hanging for days without any resolution.🔥 What happened?A few of my domains were suddenly suspended without ANY warning or email.I discovered this only when I noticed all my services were down — no DNS, no access, nothing.I immediately contacted Namecheap support. Their answer? “We can’t help you. You need to email the Legal Department.”So I did. I emailed legalcompliance right away.More than 24 hours later: still no reply, no update, nothing.Meanwhile, my services are offline. My users are affected. My business is losing money.🧢 Namecheap’s excuse?"The Legal team is busy. No estimated time of response. Wait."So just like that, you lose access to your domain, and they leave you in the dark?No warning. No ticket update. No time frame. Just silence.This is not how a serious registrar should operate.❌ Final wordsIf you’re thinking about using Namecheap for your domains:Don’t.This experience proves they can take your services offline with zero notice, and leave you with no support.Look elsewhere. Choose a registrar that values communication, transparency, and respect for its clients.
Review of lenovo
I purchased the Ideapad 5 15" May 2020 for school and everything seemed great. Fast shipping, worked/looked great right out of the box. I have been happily using it for the past 8 months when last week (January 11th 2021) I was opening the lid and I heard a cracking noise. The left side of the hinge had popped out and now is causing the lower left side corner bevel around the screen to pop off. I cannot close the lid or tilt the screen at all as I risk further damage. I did not drop it, it has been sitting on a desk for the past month. I called Lenovo and they said they are aware this is a common issue, but it still isn't covered under warranty. This is a powerful computer (I'm typing this review on it now) and can tackle all my programs I need for school with no problem, but the exterior build can't even hold up to a year of regular use? I have been so careful. Purchasing it was a big deal to me and I do not have the money to get it fixed or buy a different computer. I am disappointed with Lenovo and can't believe they get away selling such poorly designed computers for these prices. I cannot recommend this company.
Review of getyourguide
Very personable tour with Tony in Belfast. He made the tour come alive both historically and emotionally. His in-depth knowledge and understanding was superb. He was generous with his time as well. I would recommend this tour for everyone. Maith thú Tony, buíochas mór. Maurice and Mary Galway.
