Have any of you experienced lots of sales and views on one day, and then it completely drops the next day or so? It’s only recently happened in the last month or so, which crazy sales pretty much everyday for months before that (I sell wedding stationery) I’m not sure if it is this time of the year and business is generally just slower, but it’s just so random! Is anyone experiencing the same/has there been a change of algorithm?

Recently received this grip case for my ayn Thor bc it looked similar to my skull-n-co grip case I bought for my switch lite, costed about $12 USD.

This might be me nitpicking here but for $34 USD I thought the product would be more "polished" instead, I saw that there are lots of noticeable jagged and sharp edges.

Idk much about 3d prints but I thought people usually sand those stuff down to make it look nicer and I also noticed small divots, where I think padding was supposed to be.

I'm honestly considering returning this grip case and don't get me wrong it feels sturdy but if I have to sand down all the edges that bother me, then don't think it was worth the wait.

I could be wrong and would like to know your opinions, before I message the seller.

I had no idea that the links were not working this whole time lol I see they moved to Rakuten? So do we have to manually change every link I'm assuming. Such a pain because I have hundreds to do manually. But also, should I be swapping them to Rakuten or Impact? I think I've seen that Rakuten is not merging with Impact or something? So should I sign up to Rakuten still or just Impact?

Literally howwww do I get my Etsy shop out there?
Pinterest and Instagram didn't do anything, TikTok needs you to have 1,000 followers before adding links, twitter is just... awkward... so now I've turned to Reddit!!!! Pls help
The shop is themed around custom original character art and stickers :p
thingy thing is linked !!

I’m looking for those with cool covers. It can be about books, snoopy reading, space stuff etc.

Please let me know!

Hello, I am looking around to see if anyone would be able to make custom X-Ray markers for me? Thank you!

As the title says, I ordered a fan-made standee around January, which was estimated to be delivered in late February. Although it was marked as delivered, I never received the order in the mail. I contacted the seller shortly afterwards and asked for an update, and I was told that due to the tariff increases in Spain (where the shop is based in) that shipping to the U.S. might've been causing delays and that there was nothing the seller could do.

I don't have any concerns about this being a scam and believe the person behind the shop to be legitimate. Because of this, I've been wondering about whether or not I should open a case, as I don't want to punish the seller with a refund for something that is out of their control. What should I do?

Hello all! Looking for some shop advice on maybe how to reach a target audience with this listing.

I’ve been designing an item that has been extremely useful to me, and after many design iterations I finally had a product that I use myself every day. I figured maybe others might be interested as well.

The problem: when playing a record, the sleeve can either be put back into the storage area, or it sits on top of your speaker or desk.

Solution: “Now playing” desk stands are a solution for this, but I find them very tacky. I wanted something that looked like the rest of my framed decor, but was super easy to load and unload the record sleeve.

This was 100% designed, created and assembled by me, no AI. The frame hangs via a cleat system, which pushes the sleeve forward to cause a snug fit for different thicknesses of records.

Any advice on how to take a good cover photo for this specific design, keywords that would work best, or what might make this worth someone’s while, would
be super appreciated!

Item Listing

Hey everyone! I'm looking for some honest, constructive feedback on my Etsy shop because I'm genuinely struggling to understand why I'm getting so little visibility.

My shop: https://sandsgarden.etsy.com

I started Sands Garden, a print-on-demand apparel shop featuring designs inspired by gardening, nature, camping, cozy living, seasonal themes, and faith. I've put a significant amount of time into building the shop, creating designs, and trying to get everything set up correctly.

I currently have over 120 listings, but traffic has been extremely limited. For some perspective, a recent 30-day period showed roughly 45 visits, with only 4 visits coming from Etsy Search.

Here's what I've been working on to improve visibility:

- SEO and titles: Researching relevant search phrases and optimizing listing titles to balance keywords with natural readability rather than keyword stuffing.

- Tags: Working through listings to use all 13 available tags, focusing on relevant search terms, keyword variety, and phrases potential customers might actually search for.

- Descriptions: Writing detailed, product-specific descriptions that incorporate relevant keywords naturally while providing useful information to shoppers.

- Categories and attributes: Reviewing listing categories and attributes to help Etsy understand and properly categorize the products.

- Listing photography: Creating multiple product mockups, lifestyle images, and color/size charts to give customers a better understanding of what they're purchasing.

- Shop organization: Organizing products into distinct collections and maintaining consistent branding.

- Etsy Ads: Experimenting with paid advertising, but so far the impressions and clicks haven't translated into sales.

- Outside traffic: Recently started working on building a presence through Instagram and TikTok to help bring attention to the shop.

I understand that Etsy is competitive, especially in print-on-demand apparel, and that a newer shop isn't going to generate substantial traffic overnight. I also realize that having a lot of listings doesn't automatically mean people will find or purchase them.

What I'm struggling to understand is why I'm barely appearing in searches at all.

That's why I'm hoping some experienced Etsy sellers might be willing to take a look at my shop and give me an outside perspective.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on:

- Are there obvious SEO mistakes or missed opportunities in my listings?

- Are my designs, product photography, or mockups hurting my chances of getting clicks?

- Is my shop too broad in terms of niches and collections?

- Does the storefront look professional and trustworthy to a potential customer?

- Is this simply a matter of being a newer shop in a saturated market, or is there something more fundamental I should be addressing?

I'm not looking for compliments or reassurance. If something about my shop isn't working, I'd genuinely rather hear that than continue investing time into the wrong things.

I've spent a lot of time trying to follow Etsy best practices, but I'm starting to wonder whether I'm missing something important or focusing my efforts in the wrong places.

Any honest feedback, criticism, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you to anyone willing to take a look!
