Yeah, I got 5 credit for being new to the site. It cost me 4 credits to create a sales event. It allowed me to take either a certain amount of money or percentage off each listing for only the days I wanted, then the listing will automatically got back to normal price after the promotion.
I had 1 free credit I used to delete the last tag I had and replace it with "black friday etsy" but i can't see the benefit. I will have to pay for more credits to add "cyber monday etsy" to my tags, and all that will do is replace my last tag- which is "black friday etsy." So I'm certainly not going to pay to replace my black friday tag with my etsy tag.
Also, I have to edit every listing manually anyway right, to add my sales promotion in the desctiption? Might as well change the tags while I'm editing the listing. That will only take a little extra time.
Unless there's a way to add something to all your descriptions in bulk? So I don't have to go through all of my listings, one by one, and include my black friday promotion.
