Cannot share Star Seller on social media.

[peculiarpots]

Hi all,

I think I'm having a senior moment! I am trying to share star seller status on social media but I cannot work out how. I am sure that I have previously shared via the email from Etsy which does say share on social media but when I click on the link for the custom image and suggested post I see sales promotions, newest listings, reviews and favourites. Is it yet another glitch or am I doing something daft?

It was late for Jan, and completely missing for Feb and I think March, so perhaps it's also missing for April.

I don't think it's you, I think it's etsy.

Etsy hasn't released the ability to share.  It may not happen or may be late.

Etsy sent out the email to "share it far and wide" but the link goes to a page that has no star seller badge to share.  This lapse has been happening, which is pretty short sighted.  Etsy gets a lot of free marketing by encouraging sellers to post the badge in their social media feeds, but of course sellers can only post it if it exists. Maybe they are quadruple checking the spelling of April.

Interesting that Etsy is encouraging sellers to share the SSP to their socials but the rules are actually saying you're not allowed to...
