Is this odd? 50+ sales since September - not a single review

Help for Seller

Actually that’s not true, one person in November left a raving review thankfully because that was all that was holding me back from star seller status. But since then nothing!

I sell organizers customized with a name. Every single buyer gets a thank you message with a mock up of their font and color choices, even “sign up with Apple users” respond confirming that everything looks good so I know everyone is happy.

At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter, I’m still getting sales but at this point I’m just starting to feel like it’s odd?! In my heart of hearts I’ve considered maybe people weren’t *disappointed* with the product but not thrilled enough to leave positive feedback so they just move on but I don’t think so - I have buyers messaging me that they’ve had friends order from me and loved them so they are ordering one now - news to me!

I’ve also had a few people message when they received them saying they “love them sooo much and thank you again!” In these cases, I’ve responded super graciously and then mention that five star reviews are always appreciated if they have a moment! But other than that I just leave it alone because I get the feeling Etsy is already pushy about leaving reviews.

Is that just the nature of the times? Is anybody else experiencing this? When the next selling quarter is over will I drop from star seller status because I don’t have any reviews from the last ___ months? I’m almost out of business cards which is the only thing I tuck into the order. I’m considering having some wording on the new card about leaving a review but again, is that poor taste?
