A couple of months ago I opened an online shop at etsy.com

Sale is very slow. There are too many sellers and I am not exactly getting my supplies cheap. I am selling some cheap stuff I can get in shops and sell it in USD.

Yesterday I received an email notification from Paypal. Someone in some island I never heard of bought 2 sets of erasers from me.

The payment process says completed. So I have to send out the goods. Honestly, shipping cost is not cheap but I have factor in the cost and make a small profit from it.
However, the money stays in Paypal.

Not sure if this is a valid sale or not. Can the Paypal status changed into “cancel” or “withdraw” later?

I’ve not put up anymore new items for sale for a long time. I also don’t have time to go bargain hunting for stuff to sell. There are too many sellers from Asia selling similar products.

Maybe I should look for something made locally which appeals to Americans or Europeans. It has to be craft supplies or handmade goods.
