I detest the new listing form that Etsy is now forcing us to use. I tried it when it was optional, but I kept getting an error message in red at the bottom and was never able to save my changes. Now, I'm attempting to edit a custom listing for a buyer, and I want to use my images instead of the generic, ugly Etsy one. However, I can't do so because of persistent error messages.
I was able to fix the shipping errors and images, but the system would not register the category, which is "beads in jewelry making supplies." I found the correct category, but the system keeps showing that same red error message, despite the fact that I selected a category. I tried clearing my cache and cookies, logging out, and using two different browsers, but the issue persists. Because of this, I'm stuck using Etsy's unattractive icon for custom listings, which is incredibly frustrating.
Another frustrating issue is when I want to edit variations. Instead of allowing me to edit existing variations (for example, to correct a typo), I have to delete the variation, retype it, and then move it around to place it in the correct alphabetical order.
I've given my feedback before when Etsy requested it, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. The new listing form is not helpful and does NOT save time. Why do they do this? I'm sure I'm not the only one having issues. Instead of making the process smooth, it has become time-consuming and difficult. Etsy, read the room. Sellers are NOT happy!
