REMOVING PROCESSING TIMES FROM SHIPPING PROFILES - NIGHTMARE - MISSING SOMETHING???

[#1]

Etsy has removed the processing time from the shipping profiles and to be blunt - this is HORRIFIC. I cannot express how bad of an idea this is... I have over 700 AD's - that all fit into specific shipping profiles with specific processing times within those profiles. I often have to change my processing times due to volume of orders - especially during prom.

So with this new "feature" I will be required to go into EACH INDIVIDUAL AD to edit the processing time??????

So this can not longer be done in bulk???

Or am I missing something???

This will be an absolute NIGHTMARE.

Thank you for posting about this. I am so sick of these random changes that are unnecessary, confusing, and making it harder for sellers. Not to mention the "You're charging too much for shipping" message when I set it one cent above $4. (Shipping is always >$4 for me.)

Edit: Here's the link that helped me find a work around. I used the "bulk edit" option on the listing screen.

@PearlyRoseOriginals that sounds like a very good idea.  Then we can delete all the old shipping profiles which mention the date.

To me it’s much more convenient to have the processing time separate, but this could have been implemented a lot more smoothly.  I always feel like I’m at work witg a very unfriendly boss making life hell by introducing capricious ideas 24/7.
