And here's the article about the changes for UK and Australia users and the shop local. I haven't heard that it's applied to Canada yet, but usually the announcement follows actual testing. It's possible the increase in Canadian sales is the result of an internal Etsy test or it might just be an increasing awareness in Canada of Etsy as a marketplace.

For the Shop Updates, if you have Instagram installed, you should see it at the end. I've only experienced it from an iPhone, so I don't know if it would be different on other phones. It doesn't automatically share to other social media profiles & sometimes the menu doesn't come up. If it's something you've already shared via Shop Updates, you can click on the three dot button to share it again to your SM.

Julie, you can get to the Teams section on the Sell on Etsy app. When you're in the app, click the menu button (little horizontal lines) and you'll see "Teams" about halfway down the list.

Hi all. I created a new chat thread for November as I slipped up and didn't make the previous chat thread for November private when I created it on Sunday night. Sorry.

Happy post halloween all. I hope that it was a great weekend for everyone. My little trickers had so much fun, and they came home with their weight in loot. Counting it out and trading is half the fun.
Now I have to deal with the 6-month stash of candy sitting in my living room.... oh so tempting.

I am also hoping that the world will go back to normal now that we have had a full moon once again after the blood moon, Seems like there have been great disturbances in the force and I need to channel some inner Yoda.
Ok- playtime done. Back to work!

I'm wondering the same as Kristi, is the local search precedence live for Canada? Or just in the States?

Should we be able to Instagram a listing from the sell on Etsy app? I can't figure it out.

Margo, you should be able to select the Shop Update from the Sell on Etsy App. The last step should let you share on your social media. I haven't tried myself yet. If anyone has, could you please share if it worked for you?

Margo, I didn't realize we could (honestly I haven't really looked into the new app). I'll take a look and see if it's possible!

I have not found a way. I take photos with my camera and list thru my netbook. It appears you can post to Facebook through this app but not Instagram.

Anyone familiar with the Mom, Pop, and Tot Fair in March? I got a call from them this morning, and was wondering if anyone had any experience to share.

Speaking of the apps, I can't see how to get to the forums on either Etsy app. Is there a way?

Thank you Jillian! I'll see if I can find our forum from there. To me, the app is not as user friendly as I'd like. Mind you, I'm old. ish.
