Etsy! Stop With The Shopping Cart Pop Ups Already!

[DreamGoExplore]

The constant pop ups about putting an item I favorited in my cart and buying now is over the top Etsy.    If I wanted to buy it, I would put it in my cart.    But I didn't...I favorited it.  I'm about to go un-favorite everything just to make this stop.

I put something in my cart a week ago, waiting for payday, and every flipping page I go to, my own included, there it is, popping up and nagging me that IT'S GOING FAST!!!!!!

Well, if it's been going fast for over a week it should be worn out by now and quit popping.

Just wait to you put something in your cart and a few days later you remove it and YOU still get those annoying popups telling you to hurry it's going fast and to go to you cart to purchase it.

The problem was the item was NO longer in my cart, so I couldn't remove it.

I even tried adding it back to my cart and got an error message I couldn't add it because there was only 1 of the item.

It did that crap for a few weeks and mysteriously just stopped one day.
Drove me crazy!

What really irks me is that there are so many of this same complaint in these forums and elsewhere on the internet, and Etsy is not doing a darn thing about it.  No one is a fan, Etsy...make it go away.

@DreamGoExplore  yep but that's part of the test. They put this super annoying thing in and monitor how people respond. How many click on it, does it result in a buy, how many un-fave everything or flat out leave just to avoid it... then they decide if it's worth chasing off a few to keep pushing to those who will put up with it. Testing tolerance levels is a classic etsy marketing technique.

YES PLEASE.

Those popups about every single thing you fave are SO SO ANNOYING!

I am a seller and imagine how much they must also annoy shoppers and buyers! They will stop faving and shopping on here.

As it is no sales hardly this year!

Etsy take away the annoying pop ups which also drive my computer crazy while promoting, and fix the darn search on this site so things people search for come up instead of all kinds of other stuff!

Why must everything you do Etsy be so annoying and never helpful to sellers!

I unfavorited all 160+ of my Favorites.  The pop ups have stopped.  That is ridiculous.  I should not have had to do that.

i un-carted and un-favorited everything.

etsy was doing the pop up thing for...

sold out items!

hurry! only 0 left in stock!

bleh.

I've unfavorited and stop putting anything in my cart on Etsy.  Etsy is a frustrating site to shop on these days. This is worrisome.

I was actually trying to buy something the other day, unfortunately for me I was on the laptop and every.single.tab. I opened had that DANG slider....which follows you down the page so you have to click it away, lest you explode in a rage.

Honestly at this point it just makes them look desperate for sales. I guess they're getting to the point of running out of ideas for how to make next quarter look better than last.......

I think Etsy is mad and punishing me for complaining...  Since I've posted this my item views have drastically dwindled, even though I'm running a sale.  Guess I won't be getting Star Seller status this month, lol.  I've been debating closing my shop this week (I'm moving soon anyways and need to pack things up) or just letting the items sit until expiration then close.  Etsy used to be a fun venue for me to sell vintage, but it just stresses me out now.  And its hard to compete with all the largely stocked shops that are reselling retail items (not handmade, not vintage).

I wonder if we should all do this, after all it is a form of harassment and so it the review requests when you first sign on.

What to Do if You're Being Harassed

Etsy doesn’t tolerate harassment, discrimination, or hate speech of any kind. 

If you experience harassment on Etsy, we’re here to help. We want you to feel safe and welcome while buying and selling on Etsy.

We recommend you do the following:

1. Send one message to the other member and let them know that you don’t want to hear from them anymore. 
2. If they respond, do not answer them. 
3. If their behavior continues, contact support and Etsy will investigate.

Of course, they removed the link.

YES!  SO YES!  It’s making it so hard to shop on Etsy.  I already ranted about all the hoops to jump through to leave reviews.  But this is worse.  Please. In the name of all that’s holy.  STOP bugging me.  At least let me opt out.
