This is regarding the Etsy app, not the Etsy Seller app. As a buyer I'm frustrated, but as a seller I'm concerned.
In my app there's no way to search favorites. I can only scroll through them.
My concern here is that buyers who have saved our listings won't be able easily find them again. For example, I want to give everyone in our family a fun DIY kit for Christmas & I've saved ideas all year. But I can no longer search for them in my list - I must now scroll the entire thing. As a buyer: kinda a bummer. As a seller: lost sales, wasted ad dollars.
I deleted the app and reinstalled, and the problem was solved for one day. Now it's back. I can search my favorites as usual through the Etsy.com.
Is this an issue throughout Etsy? Is the issue visible to you?
Omg I’m having the same issue and it’s driving me INSANE. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Favorites works with search function for a little while then goes back to a clunky list I cannot search.
Yes! How are Christmas shoppers possibly going to find their saved things in a favorites list they can't search? For those sellers who amped up advertising a month ago to get into peoples' favorite lists in advance of Christmas - ad budget wasted.
Etsy support says they'll email me.
