Should I message a buyer about a 4-star Etsy review with positive comments?
Anonymous • in 4 hours • No answers yet
I run an Etsy shop and recently received my first 4-star review after a streak of 5-star reviews. The written feedback was very positive, but the star rating still dropped my overall average a bit.
I’m tempted to message the buyer to ask what I could have improved, but I don’t want to come across as pushy or make the situation worse. What’s the best way to handle a 4-star review when the comments are glowing—should I reach out, or just leave it alone?
