Hello,
I have been selling on Etsy for a long time now, but in the last month my ad click spend has increased by about 5x. I don't understand why. If Etsy is using this method to increase their profitability, it is very disappointing. I have had to reduce my overall budget due to advertising costs. I hope this issue is resolved soon.
Is anyone else experiencing something similar? Do you have any suggestions on how I can manage this?
Etsy ads are a waste of money
Etsy ads can be profitable if you know how to use them. Read the available articles in the help center and the legal disclosure on how they work. There are various factors that can affect your CPC, including your listing quality, competition and how likely your listing will convert to a sale.
