Full Version: Etsy: Update on New Billing System
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Quote:As soon as the system is tested and ready, we'll deploy it so that you can check out your new statements and pay off your due balances. We'll then email every Etsy seller their august statement along with useful information about the new system.

To recap, here are the enhancements you can expect:

- Monthly statements contain *only* the activity that happened during said month

- Clear, easy-to-read account summary

- Ability to make partial payments towards your total balance

- Downloadable .CSV files of your monthly statements

We are investigating the possibility of accepting PayPal payments for Etsy bills, but for now the only way to pay your due balance will be with your credit card on file.

We recognize that you're all anxious to get your bills straightened out -- believe me when I say that we're even *more* anxious than you are. You will have ample time to pay off your balances, as we will not be issuing overdue penalties until January 1st, 2008.

Quote:Please note that Etsy bills will no longer be auto-charged. We are working on implementing an opt-in auto-charge system, which we'll debut after we're sure the new billing system is rock-solid. This information will be provided in the email that will be sent containing your august statements.

Update:

Quote:The new billing system is now online!...

Q. My bills don’t match up to what they said before! Why are the opening and closing balances so strange?
A. The old bills have been completely reorganized into monthly statements. These statements will only show activity a single given month, so payments and charges only show up in the month you actually made them. Expect this to clear out in future months as you pay off your bill on time!

Q. You said that charges from other months wouldn’t appear, but I see some at the end of my statement!
A. The bills are based on the UTC time zone, and the pages are displayed in the EDT time zone. Because of this, charges that were made in the last 4 hours of the last day of the month will appear to be based in the following day. This is done to ensure data consistency throughout the rest of our system....
