Not sure if all his stuff is like that but what I read seemed to be that way.
As for the onion, I've never seen one that was yellow outside an purple inside. I've seen yellow/yellow and purple/purple but never yellow/purple. T'was very strange for all who beheld its countenance!
Etsy is perfect for selling one-of-a-kind pieces, but when it comes to something I've mass produced their internal system completely bites. Shopify is set up to make your life soooooo eeeeeasy when dealing with items that have tens (my posters, prints) or even thousands (my booooks D of duplicates.
The downsides to Etsy is that getting your buyer to pay is a two step process; they have to "buy" the item and then they have to understand directions enough to go on and separately pay for it through PayPal-- a surprising number of people don't understand this and think they're done after the first step. With MyShopify, payment is instantaneous. It's impossible for them to buy your product without paying for it immediately because it's built into the checkout process.
And when it comes to notifying buyers that their order has gone out, Shopify works like a dream. there's an invoice page and all you have to do is click this one button that says "Add Tracking Info" and you can put in their confirmation number right there. And if you can only send out part of their order (like, when someone buys a poster and a book, they have to go in two separate packages. Or if one item is out of stock and I'll be sending it later), I can notify the buyer of that in one click too and send them two separate tracking codes. It's all recorded on the same page and so easy to keep track of.
With Etsy? PHAH. You can click 'item shipped', but the buyer isn't notified. You have to login to PayPal, which has the wooooooooorst functionality EVER, and go through the mental pain of wrestling with that horrible site to send out a single tracking codde. And ONLY a single tracking code. Pretty regularly, people have a different address listed on their Etsy account than their PayPal one, so when I send the confirmation email through PayPal it says that I've sent their package to the wrong address (even though in reality I've sent it to the address I got through Etsy) and then I get people who write to me all panicked or angry that I've somehow gotten it wrong-- the best is when they hit "stop payment" on it.
Basically, Etsy's internal system is a complete joke, but it's okay for dealing with a couple individual pieces. Shopify makes my life easier in every single way when it comes to dealing with multiple orders for the same product.
