FILTER OF DEATH for UK shops

[TheAmberSunflower]

Dramatic? Decide for yourself. When desktop users click on any 'Ready to Dispatch in' filters - the 'Shop in European Union' filter automatically comes on!! And it stays on even if the dispatch filter is unchecked. Result? ALL UK SHOPS BECOME INVISIBLE. All the buyer sees are EU shops.

I'm aware. But are Etsy? This is a crazy situation.

If I search and select the filter for despatch in 1-3 business days Etsy automatically applies the filter for "items from the United States", thereby excluding all UK shops!

In the UK we are currently facing multiple postal strikes throughout October, November and December, so customers are far more likely to filter for a quick despatch. As a UK seller, this is disasterous!!

I agree. This issue needs to be at the top of Etsy's To Do List.

Mine does too and has for months

It's unbelieveable!  My sales have reached rock-bottom already and the 14 days of strike action by Royal Mail in November is going to kill sales off completely.  I'm busy moving stuff to other venues to try and bring in a little bit of income for Christmas.

I have reported it twice through community and help

and also here, where, where enigmapuzzlestudio said they would escalate,

but please others log it too, to more that log it, the more it might be seen as a real issue

[TheAmberSunflower]

Exactly!
