Duplicate thread. You only need to post once.

@ChristmasIsLove   I clicked onto that Thread and there is only the Red Banner saying "Access Denied."  (It doesn't show a Closed Thread with greyed out buttons, as we normally see when closed by Admin).

[ChristmasIsLove]

@ChillwolfArt Obviously, Admin closed the first one as the duplicate, and left this one as the primary thread on the issue. That's why you can't access the first one anymore.

@ChristmasIsLove  OK, Thanks.  It wasn't obvious to me. Usually when a Thread is closed I can still see it, but the Reply buttons are greyed out.

@woolenitemsin   Hi, I'm not an expert, but this is from the following is Seller's Handbook, under Getting Found.  It will be helpful when writing your Titles and Tags.  Other good articles there as well. You'll want to think of phrases buyers would type in when searching.  You can even practice this yourself, typing into the Etsy Search Bar and Google.  See what comes up with various phrases.

When you get a moment, it would be good to create your About Page.  Etsy likes us to have one, and it gives Buyers a chance to meet the Seller behind the Shop.  

I hope this is helpful to you; Best Wishes!

ETA:  Just wanted to add.  When you break up Title phrases, it is best to put one comma followed by a space, as in this sentence. It will read better that way.

To the  OP, your problem may be that in the US, your items would be considered "Retro" or old fashioned. Not many people decorate with doilies anymore. My mother did, up until about the 1970s. You might have to use your skills on other products, small handbags, place mats and other useful items.

OP, if English is not your first language, ask a friend who is proficient in English to review your listings for grammar, punctuation and style. Your Etsy shop needs to be professional looking, and poor English is a major flaw. Good luck.

You received a few good suggestions two weeks ago in your first Critique, but it appears you have made no changes or improvements to your listings.

Your listings are either too confusing or not enough information is given in the descriptions.  For instance, the Circle Flower Shape Design doily photo looks like it would be table length, but the size you mention is only 30cm (about 12'').  Some of the tags you've used for that item do not apply - turquoise, gemstones, agate? Anyone searching with those terms will probably not click on your listing.  Also, is it actually made of wool or is it really acrylic or cotton yarn?

I do not believe this to be a technical issue of any kind. 

I think your listings need help. I do not understand what is going on with all the Time magazine covers. If you are using a program to create fake covers with your images, I would stop that practice. Or even worse, you are using someone else's photos and creating that cover. I reverse image searched some of those and see the original, full, and non-blurry images in other places. You are likely not getting any sales because your items don't seem genuine. 

This listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1435423041/different-size-flowers-design-indian

The one image in that listing, that filter and extra stuff on it makes it look like you are using someone else's image and trying to hide their watermark. 

First you need to make sure you are only listing items that are made for this marketplace (handmade by you, vintage, or a supply). I would remove anything from your shop that haven't actually made yourself. Then you need to take your own photos, and more than one is better. 

[ChillwolfArt]

Good catch, I didn't pick up on that.

Lots of great advice given in your thread from 2 weeks ago.

I still see Time magazine covers. What is that about? 

[ChristmasIsLove]

@ChillwolfArt When Admins "close" a thread, you can still see it but not post. When they remove a thread, which they do with duplicate threads, promotional threads, and other non-compliant threads, they actually delete them entirely from the public view of forums. When that happens, you get Access Denied if you try to look at it by clicking on a link. That's what happened with the OP's duplicate thread from today.

[ChillwolfArt]

@ChristmasIsLove   Thank You, this explains the "Access Denied".

I looked at your green crocheted circle table runner, and was intrigued by the blurred out corner of the photo. An image search came up with the original photo (with logo) in another Etsy shop. I assume that's not your shop, as it's located in a different country than you are. As a buyer, that situation would make me think twice about ordering from your shop.
