Same here, when I use my usual Safari, no shipping details, when I use Chrome, the shipping info is below the reviews along with descriptions!!!! All of this are located at the bottom of the listing
I have only just noticed today and wondering if this has been going on for a while!
When buyers are viewing a listing it is no longer saying (ships from a small business in what ever the shop location is) in fact there is no indication at all now where the item is being shipped from, even when you add it to you cart its still not saying?? the only way to find out where it might be shipped from is by visiting the shop (and just how many buyers actually do that) That really could have a massive impact on sales, buyers want to know where the items is being shipped from!
Bottom line, what they have done is ILLEGAL !!! They should know what is legal and illegal to do and stop testing the waters. Time for their coding department to GO They have been causing so many issues
I've been looking around for more information on the legality of this practice within the UK. The 2004 Price Marking Order was referenced earlier and it seemed a little ambiguous so have now found the Consumer Protection (Code of Practice for Traders on Price Indications) Approval Order 2005 which is a bit more specific for online sales:
'2.2.4. If you sell by distance contract, make clear any additional charges for postage, packing or delivery, so that consumers are fully aware of them before they commit themselves to buy. Where you cannot determine these charges in advance, you must indicate clearly how they will be calculated (eg 'Royal Mail rates apply'), or specify the place where the information is given.'
I am going to make clear that 'Royal Mail rates apply' at the bottom of each listing description, just to be safe. I'm still not entirely sure on the legality of Etsy's decision to only declare shipping costs at checkout based on this here, it still seems a bit vague. Any more lawyerly people able to better interpret?
I don't think it's a glitch, unfortunately.... its done on purpose I believe. Some kind of another stupid UX Testing.
Not showing the shipping cost and all legal information on the product page, is not only ridiculous, but extremely unprofessional.
I can clearly picture the confused Etsy customers.... some wont even know how to check the shipping fee or contact the shop!
Whoever's in charge of UX Testing should be FIRED for coming up with the STUPID IDEA to remove all legal, contact and shipping info from the product page!
When shopping I can see items that ship from the UK but not any other country. I also can't see any postage cost from any country unless I add to basket.
Really not good when Christmas is around the corner and its most of our busiest time.
Just had a sale in from the United States, so it is not stopping everyone. But it is not acceptable to see one price and be hit with a delivery cost just before you pay from UK to USA
I think, or I should say I WANT TO THINK, that this is due to Etsy working on a bug fix for the wrong estimated delivery dates shown these days.
I'm having LOTS of issues with Etsy telling people my products are going to be delivered 7-10 days after the purchase when that's literally the time it takes me to produce them!
People complain and I'm going to get bad reviews that Etsy, of course, will refuse to remove...
