This year has been the worst ever for me. I got the 2023 year in review on my dashboard from Etsy. I really didnt want to look at it because thats when reality sets in for me. When I opened it Etsy showed I have 146 listings. I have 194 listings that Im paying for. Does That mean that Esty isnt advertising the last 50 items I made? I am a custom leather shop and my shop is made to order so 50 listings is 8 months of work.
Etsy does not advertise your listings unless you are enrolled in off-site ads or Etsy ads.
@Petescustomleather: "Does That mean that Esty isnt advertising the last 50 items I made?" Are you asking if your listings are "advertised" or "included in search"? A few other threads about the Year In Review have intimated that there are discrepancies in the numbers reported.
Included in the search. I noticed that the 3 people that asked me about purchasing leatherwork were refering to old listings that I made when I opened my shop 5 years ago.
