Pattern Only Option No Longer Available on the New Listing Form?

[stufforama]

I don't see a way to add a new listing as a Pattern only listing using the new listing form. In the old form, there was a section for "Channels" that allowed you to check a box for Etsy only, Pattern Only, or both. On the new one, now called "Core Details" does not give the option for Pattern at all, there are no channels listed and I can't post my listing due to an error since I didn't make the item that I'm adding to my website.

I have the same issue.  It's a bit worrying if this is not fixed if it replaces the old form.

Etsy hasn't really supported Pattern much in the past.  It would not surprise me if it went away at some point.  Can you try opening the listing in the OLD form and then select the channel you want it listed on?  Many sellers find the NEW form clunky and prefer to use the OLD form.  You can switch between the 2 forms at top of listing page.  Hope that helps!

This is not listed anywhere, but I was able to add listings to my Pattern site only.

From the Etsy listings page, If you click on Add Listing, you have a full screen block with a popup where you fill in the maker/vintage screening form.  Immediately scroll to the bottom of that window and click cancel, that will take you back to the Add Listing page that lurks behind the pop-up where you fill in the maker/vintage screening, you will then see a link at the top right to "use old form" (or something like that).  It warns you you will lose changes, yeah, so I hadn't made any so whatever, and then you are at the old form with choice of etsy, pattern or both.

I had to do that to add listings to my pattern site that Etsy listing manager is too lazy to do.

I've been using the old form for the primary reason you can't add Pattern listings using the new one.  But what happens on June 25th when the old form goes away (per email I just received)?  Curious minds want to know.

I've been reporting this for months.  Not sure what we are going to do. I have a call into Etsy now.

[JasmeineMoonsong]

they have no idea it's a problem apparently.  Maybe if we all start calling in and getting on chat they will fix it.    They just need to add the channel setting to the form

[NewfangledThings]

I have raised the issue with Etsy support chat.  They said they will escalate it to a specialist and email me back.  No email yet.

It look like I'll be moving my Pattern shop to sumup before the 23th June!   It looks like Etsy really don't care about it's Pattern customers.

Pattern ... Etsy has not supported its Pattern program in a very long time ... it will be of no surprise if Etsy ever decides to get rid of it! 

Escalate ... When Etsy says they have "escalated it to a specialist", that is just their special way of getting rid of you &/or your problem (chat, phone, email, etc.) so they don't have to deal with it anymore ... they don't actually ever escalate anything and you will most likely never hear back from them!

Over the last month or so I have been trying to push my website (Pattern), and keep finding issues and raising them with Etsy.  And you're right, nothing gets done. 

Even If they fix the form I'll be moving my Pattern site to another provider.  I'll still keep my items on Etsy, but my main website will probably be managed by Sumup.
