And what did we see?

We saw tons and tons of Favoriting on our products but we didn’t see an upswing in sales. We believed that people were probably just favoriting our products to save them and then BUY them later. We saw a trickle of sales but nothing exploded in comparison with the explosion of numbers favoriting our products.

So What’s Happening With Etsy?

When Etsy first came on the scene, their focus was on making their associates (shop owners, you and I) successful. After-all, if the sellers were making money, Etsy was making MORE money. Their focus was on “Handmade” items which made it an outlet for hard to get, personally handmade crafts. The concept was right on… as long as Etsy stuck to THAT concept.

Did that result in a change?

After all everyone who had favorited our items would be notified immediately by Etsy’s system of the change in prices, BUT No Change. No upswing in sales. In fact our sales still remained at less than 5 sales per month.

So again, what did we do?

For ONE we continued to PAY ETSY for listings, commissions and promotions.

Did that make a change in our sales numbers?

You’ve got it…. NOPE! It’s like a gambling addiction and the house ETSY always wins.
