hello.

so just today i had an idea to open an etsy account to sell some paintings. within about an hour i got potential buyer who had already paid. But when i tried to verify my bank account for the transfer, etsy was like “we do not support (my bank) at this time”. I was thinking “well, you could’ve said that when i was setting up my account”, because i had to do this and that with my details to get the ball rolling.

I have autism and a very bad habit of diving head-first into things, which in this case obviously blew up back in my face. the buyer was purchasing from another country with euros which was likely how i got into this mess. I didn’t initially want international trading but etsy seemed to assume by default. I had a meltdown because of this confusion and now i’m trying to delete my account. i understand that there’s places like revolut that i can use as an account. but by this point i don’t care anymore, i just want my account gone.

I’m also trying to get a job and have done for years (i’m 20 now) and i’m still trying to find a placement that might take me in. nothing seems to be working for me at the moment. i just want to be making some £££ but the universe quite clearly doesn’t want that.

guess i just wanted to rant. thank you for coming to my tedtalk.
ik this isn’t really a aibu but idk what else to category this under.

My best advice would be to sleep on it and tackle the problem tomorrow. You’ll have a clearer idea how to deal with it tomorrow.

I don’t trade on Etsy, but you could try opening a supported bank account, see if you can use PayPal or just explain to your customer and return their money. There’s always options x
