Item in #carts - not visible

[ChezMargotVintage]

I have a 50% sale going on in my shop, and once I had the offer launched I noticed the sudden disappearing of all the statements under my listings - the ones reporting that one or more people had that item in their carts. That part looks quite important for the overall image of one shop, as it gives a sense of urgency to the possible buyer. I think there should be a different way to highlight that part without penalizing sellers that launch an offer.

What do you think about it?

Personally, I wish the cart thing were never there.  I have run a sale on occasion to get rid of it.  There are still potential customers that think they can't buy an item because it is in someone's cart.

@ChezMargotVintage  That's because you have free shipping + a sale - there is no room for items in carts under the listings.

Exactly, but possibly there should be a different graphic solution - since all those situation can easily happen on the same listing.

Decrease the size of the photo? Or show fewer items on the page? I don't know how else you could do it.

Etsy sometimes removes those cart messages without notice anyway.

I wish the cart messages were never there.  It's a pushy way to sell (get it while you still can) which isn't my style.  I thought it was supposed to be MY business.  Many still think there are none left to buy when they see that, so that's another reason to get rid of it.

I agree 100%.
