I did a random look at my items. I have a few with personalization. Every single one of those say designed by even those they are listed the same as my other items. The only difference is the personalization aspect of the listing.
This is FALSE. I still make them.
Please fix this for me and other sellers that are falsely receiving incorrect labels.
I sell original paintings, which I paint myself. I also sell some prints of my originals, which I print, pack, and ship by hand. Today, the paintings i posted today state they were made by me, but all of my other original paintings state: designed by me. I tried editing these older listings and checked the new slots saying made by me and even checked the tools I use, such as brushes. I contacted Etsy's chat and after and hour of going back and forth with an AI chat box, a human finally told me, they couldn't do anything about it now. It was in the developmental stage. As a result, all of my handmade work has now been changed to designed by. So, Etsy's new change has taken away my handmade status. Amazing, but I am not surprised.
Here's another thread about this with 2 pages of replies:
