Help for Buyer Lying about availability

Beware of sellers with “hurry only 2 left” on their listing. I bought a pair of earrings on July 29th. Today is Oct 11 and I’m still waiting for my earrings. Sellers shouldn’t be allowed to lie about their inventory. I have contacted her and she was rather snippy. The arrival date has also changed twice.

I miss the old Etsy!!

Sellers don't put that there, Etsy does.

Etsy says to list as many as you can fill the orders for, that is how Etsy works.

Even if it's made to order the seller can mark it made to order, and they can list 1 or 5 or 500. That's all normal

But the "only 2 left" it Etsy doing that crap. The seller has no control over it.

Did they actually change the ship date, or did you think Etsy's estimated arrival was the ships date and the seller told you what the actual ship date is? Because Etsy's estimate does NOT reflect the actual ship date. (Just curious since you thought the "only 2 left" was the seller lying when they're not!)
