Did This Unpopular Etsy Change ACTUALLY WORK?!😲(I think it did!)

In this month's update I'm talking about how it was a completely different month for my handmade business on both my Etsy shop and my Shopify website compared with last month and how Etsy in particular, have come back swinging.
As far as Etsy's comeback goes, I think this may be down to a recent (and very unpopular) change they've made recently. But we'll see how July goes and as always, I will report back.

    I have the same, traffic down, sales way up!! The last two months were the most successful for me up until now! For me it started with the gift mode introduction. Hope it goes like this in next months as well 😍

    Glad to see you can claim some progress. It's always energizing. Thanks for sharing some balance considerations, so important. Rem to work on some stock for Q4 so you don't burn yourself out later. Be well and game on!

    Aw thanks so much, Olivia. 😁 And I know I couldn't believe it! I'll be keeping a close eye on my shop over the next few weeks to see if it was just a one off. I really hope not! 🤞

    Thank you so much. Taking about dispatch times I thought I would check mine on Etsy and realised I hadn't put them back after I had extended them due to being away a couple of weeks ago. I feel stupid now that might be why I have been so extra quiet.

    Congratulations on getting your taxes done. Mine still are not done. I suspect it will be a job for August. You might be right about the change in the dispatch times meaning more sales. Etsy does seem to be on a speedy kick these days.

    I realized every Etsy item has a 'Report this item to Etsy' button, and it is easy to report non-handmade/vintage items. Is this a new system? I hope this works for honest sellers.

    You can report items if you believe they violate Etsy's terms of service, it's just whether they actually do anything about it.

    @@KimBliss Is that clickable system always there? I only realized recently. OK, but I was too excited. You are right. That all depends on how Etsy responds. I am working on opening my vintage jewelry store. Whenever I search for something for reference, conspicuous nonvintage jewelry is on the first page as a 'best seller.' It's so discouraging:(

    Everything in slow mode over here. My freelance/bill paying job has been slow sense May. No panic yet but it has giving me more time for my art projects. So the paint is splattering and 3d printers are running.Halloween and Christmas art full speed ahead. Good luck with your house updates. Hammer on!!!🔨😁
