Should I be using tags?

I did for a wee bit and then I stopped because I didn't see any difference in viewings and I didn't like the way it looked on the page.

But if it really is a good thing to do, I'll bite the bullet and try again.

Hi, Yes you should definitly be using tags. They are an excellent way for people to find you and items that are relevant to them!
Good luck to you!

I assume you mean on your blog, not your shop? I don't think tags make a huge difference as far as SEO goes. I do think they are helpful for your readers. I use mine mostly as categories: http://www.etsyblogteam.com/2011/02/how-to-create-page-of-labels.html

Yes, I was talking about the blog.
