I noticed a really sudden drop in sales the last week and I've just gone in to manage my listings and the tags that were once assigned to my products had vanished!
If you get a moment, take a look at some of your listings, I would be interested to know if this is widespread.

I haven’t checked item tags but I have disappearing photos! Only noticed it because my main photo was different
I haven’t checked tags yet but I have disappearing photos! Only noticed because my main photo had changed on two of my listings … went in to check only to find all the rest of the photos were gone. Not sure what going on.
Sometimes I have whole listings disappear that I know I put on Etsy months ago. They aren't in the Sold Out or Deactivated folder, they are just gone. I start wondering why something never sells anymore that used to sell well, and find it's because it is no longer there.
I see zero tags on three of your coffee mugs - Patriarchs, ADHD and Frapp. Just a thought, do you use a Print on Demand supplier and do they have access to your listings?
This happened to me yesterday with several listings that I copied and I know tags were there before I posted. Went to correct an error on one and noticed no tags! Huh? Checked the others and same deal. Thought I was losing my mind. Awesome, this should really help sales. LOL
I wonder if it's all listings or just ones we copy?
That seems to have happened to me. I can see how I might fail to include tags in one or two listings, but they were missing in more than a dozen of my listings! These were older listings. Does Etsy delete tags on older listings?
OMG. I have a listing for a vintage sew on crest with a polo player on it. It is NOT Ralph Lauren and I did not use that name anywhere, not in the title, not in the tags nor in the description.
Now all the tags, or almost all of them SAY RALPH LAUREN!
This makes me look like a designer counterfeiter! WTF? It is 100% illegal to use a designer's name to sell a product not made by that designer.
@OneEyeCatStudio: "... Now all the tags ..." Do you mean YOUR tags (as on your listing) are being changed or are you referring to the artificial intelligence generated 'related searches' ?
'Polo' is a trademarked name of a Ralph Lauren product so it is not unusual for a search engine to make the connection that maybe want you actually want is ...
I just went in to look at some of my listings today and have found several that the tags have simply vanished from. This is annoying to say the least, and not the first time it's happened. I don't have the time to keep checking 200+ listings all the time to make sure the tags haven't randomly vanished AGAIN.
In Edit mode when editing listings. Listings that previously had tags had none. I replaced the missing tags, but this isn't the first time I've had tags vanish off listings. It may be an old thread, but this is how long the problem has been happening, and still is.
