August 8, Etsy

Hello again, I have not written here for a while. I have been trying to figure out what all changes that Etsy had made to the shops and I also have been making changes to my 2 shops. 

 StreetCrossingDesign.etsy.com

 VickiesVintageroom.etsy.com

 I had added a whole lot of items in my shops in the past few months, and a whole lot has been sold. I lost track of how many sales between Etsy and eBay. Used to eBay was the biggest seller for me. Now it has been Etsy. Last weekend I had 5 sales and usually I get 1-2 sales a week. Sometimes I do not even get that. But, I am still working at it and trying. This is all an Etsy shop owner can do. I have already sold over the amount I sold last year on Etsy for the whole year. So this year it might double.

 The changes:
Pictures: You now can add 10 pictures. This is great for some items. Such as books, clothing, etc..

 sales and coupons: they are trying something new so that people will see what is for sale with coupons and so on. Will wait to see how that turns out.

 Stats: well this has been a bad ordeal for most of us. We have to now work 3x harder to get views when we need to be listing. They are slow to get the stats updated and they shut down or mess up a whole lot. Will just see where this goes with the stats. 

 Will post again, till then Tata Vickie

Etsy has changed a lot

I have been now on Etsy for 7 years. I have 2 names of course and one name StreetCrossingDesign.etsy.com started in 2012. My second name has been online for 5 years. VickiesVintageroom.etsy.com I have seen so many changes happen in the past 7 years. There has been new leaders who came in and turned Etsy upside down last year. Some for the good, but some for the bad. They are continuously changing things for us all and it gets very frustrating continuously making changes.  I am not making nearly as much as I did in the past and I am not having as many sales. I have contemplated going off Etsy for years, but I just keep hoping it gets better for my sales.  Last year I had double the amount of sales as this year. I am not putting as much in my shops to keep the cost down, but this I am sure is not helping.  I like How Etsy teams were fixed. If you want to post something and someone is to favor it, they have to go to that page. By doing so then you get more views. But, it is not rea

Etsy today, February 21st

Well, I am sorry I have not posted on here for a while. I have been trying to adjust to the new changes that Etsy has once again made. This time to the teams and forums. I have not been posting as much due to the fact that they take out the money immediately as soon as a sale comes in. If you owe more than you get on a sale, then you have your entire sale swiped from you. The Teams are no longer letting you show the item that you post of pictures. So you now have to click on each item individually to favor or heart that item. Oh well, you have to roll with the changes they make if you want to sell on Etsy. Life is how it is.  My shops are doing okay, not as good as last year at this time, but I will work at improving them starting today. Once again my shops names are StreetCrossingDesign.etsy.com VickiesVintageroom.etsy.com

Etsy Shop changes coming up, hints for helping with new shops

Just when I got used to the last changes to the Etsy shop. Now they are changing things again. I guess they are making it easier for the customers to see everything there is about every customer before they buy. Just the editing of the shop and the items I have already there, will be much more frustrating. If I want to move something from page 5 to page 1, I do not see a way to do this anymore. I am just to move things around with an icon or something.  https://www.etsy.com/shop/streetcrossing For more hints to help the shops grow. I got my 100 sales this past month. It only took me almost 4 years, but hey, I did it. I do not sell things that are always being looked for. I sell things that are hard to find most of the time. I try to sell things that I had once sold in the past if I find another also. One of the biggest things that I noticed that is important to do in selling on Etsy--> Those tags and titles . Tags have to be there and are important. I try to do all but 1 or 2.
