I've also noticed it. I like it :) But I've just also noticed a post of another seller here on Etsy. I copy it:
PLEASE SIGN.... !!!
"Etsy recently changed the search results algorithm enforcing local shops to buyers, although there is already a button “Shop Locally” for choosing to display results local shops. This means that shops from small countries won’t have the same chance to reach buyers, without buyers’ knowledge. We pay the same fees as anyone else, and the reason we have joined Etsy in the first place was to get global exposure, so we want Etsy to undo the recent changes, and give us all the fair chance and equal opportunity."
