On Etsy, I was asking questions to some psychic named GypsyyyTarot, and I posted a neutral, slightly negative review after a reading. He or she told me my error in how I read a disclaimer, and told me to go fix my review, so it was completely positive, then said "Sadly I'm not going to be able to do this order for you as now I'm unable to trust this client relationship any longer. You'll be refunded at the end of the day. Thank you and be blessed." in response to an order I made for asking about the disclaimer, which I didn't need.

Some people don't take criticism well.

To stop this from happening again, I might talk to the seller before I leave a bad review and make sure they won't ban me if I need to make a negative review.

I wanted to leave a note about this on Etsy, then realized I could leave it elsewhere, Reddit maybe.

Oh no, your psychic blocked you, who could have predicted that? I didn't even know there were psychics on Etsy. I thought these scams were limited to shitty little shops.

I'm mildly disappointed, though not terribly surprised, that etsy allows straight-up scams like psychics on their site. Their entire site has become a complete clownshow.

Try searching for anything, and their algorithm will show you completely different things than what you searched for. I bought a few tasteful MTG proxies there once, and now my ENTIRE FEED is populated by MTG alters and proxies with massive anime titties.

I wish someone would create an alternative to buy things from normal crafsty people, because etsy's not that anymore. They don't even treat their sellers well, so most of it is drop-shipped rubbish.
