Where are all of my listing descriptions? They have ALL disappeared! I noticed a thread from February 2024 but nothing recently about a test?
Look under the photo when viewing the listing.
Yes, they are gone from the narrow right side of the listing and APPROPRIATELY placed right under the photos. This "old style" listing / selling technique shows a potential buyer not only photos, but the full written description. What a concept!

Some are in a "test" where the description is now under the photo on the left. Do you see it there?

Oh yes, I see it there. Thank you!
I can see them under listing images. This may be a change or a test. Etsy moves things around periodically. They test, retest and test again. Since Etsy is rather excessive about testing I've found having very informational photos helps most. We never know how shoppers are seeing information due to Etsy testing and dependent on what kind of device they are using.
It's FANTASTIC having it on the left. That's where it was years ago and makes complete sense - right under the product photo where it belongs. It is a much wider space so the description doesn't look like it goes on and on and on (which is why no one reads them). Put the reviews on the right, if you like.

I added descriptions to a new listing and nothing (sadly) shows. Here is the listing, https://www.etsy.com/listing/1887957962/baking-cookies-with-story-easter
Not sure what I am doing wrong but appreciate any help!
Thank you everyone for the reply's. I just hadn't scrolled down to see that it's now on left.
@OrangeZebraDesigns I saw the Description moved the other day. It's funny because my eyes are still trained to go to the Right, like a trained porpoise going thru its routine:)
Lol, so true!
I've looked and looked, under the photo , to the left of the photo but it is no were to be found . I've even had people contact me to ask about sizes because they can't find the description .
Its so great to have the description back under the main pic, as it should be. Is there a bet going on as to when they will take it away again?
It's a test.I still see it on the right.
Finally a possible explanation of why sales have stopped despite efforts. Whenever Etsy does live testing screwing with our listings, things come to a halt.
