Recommended Shops

on Front page... below the gift card banner OR the browse sections photos..above the handpicked treasury traditional "front page"

Anyone seeing this? Guessing it's just a test. Only been on mine for the past few days.......

Wondering how these shops are picked for the buyers/accounts?... and How do I get on the Recommended Shops...list? lol :)

I've seen it for a few days as well. It is definitely tailored to the user because the shops they show me always correspond to what I have been searching on etsy recently. I think it's a good idea, I've seen many wonderful shops I have never found before. And it's shops selling what I buy.

i agree, probably works like on amazon
i think it´s a good idea

I've noticed something like that if I sign up from Firefox. A couple of shops I noticed are featured often in FP Treasuries.

[RobertaValle]

I have them.
In mine, there are shops selling what I sell, so not really helpful for shopping.

I see the Recommended Shops on my Nook, but not my laptop. I think they need to do EITHER the Recommended Shops OR the Browse category buttons - not both. Both is messy and ugly.

And I love the fact that in my jewelry shop, they keep recommending other jewelry sellers to me. Really? Yeahhhhhh, no.

All I see is three browse boxes featuring a product, but not recommended shops. I feel left out.

Erin--you don't buy from other jewelry folk? I do! And I love seeing what other people are making.

Hmm, I don't have it. I even opened Etsy in Firefox and I still don't see it.

I like the idea, but I wish there was more variety. Mine keep showing the same shops over and over again.

I HAVE seen it too

Do they only come up on the mobile version? I can only seem the recommended shop section on there.

[TOMgirlApparel]

I have them on desktop as well as mobile.

For those getting similar items to what they sell or lack of variety, is that because you run searches for your type of items or a lack of variety in your searches? Because it seems to me these recommended shops are tailored to your search history. Not as helpful to us as shop owners, but pretty cool for the non shop owner.

I see them too (on my laptop) and mostly similar to what I make, because I like to look for other shops doing beadwork.
Already seen a few now that I didn't know about and quite happy with it, but I do agree that the frontpage looks a bit messy and cluttered.

Oh I've got that too, it appeared a few days ago and I like!
