Test?

[feltplanet]

Search results, the etsy shop name no longer appears with the thumbnail, title and price?

@feltplanet  I'm still seeing shop names so it must be another Etsy test.

Must be a test.  I've not seen it.

However the lines of ads have no had shop names in several months

[LastCentury]

not the first time it has happened. 

not the last time it will happen.

lots of stuff to compete with in that small space:

best seller badge
sale price
only 2 left order soon
in 29 peoples carts
made to order
free shipping
sale ends in 6 hours
digital download
...

I've been seeing it on and off for a while now, I think it's their attempt to hide how different shops are using the same/similar pictures. Lately I've also seen one where a lil badge hovers over the thumb that says 'more like this'. If you click on it, it basically just 'searches' using the title of that listing. It's supposed to refine/guide I think, but it's quite random and I kind of enjoyed it. Made me realise just how truly ethereal search/visibility could get around here.

What I see in search results when it comes to Etsy Ads & shop's name depends on if I start a search by going to Categories and then filtering down. Starting there & I see "Ad by and the Etsy shop name". If I start a search by entering my search term into the search bar all I see is "Ad by Etsy seller".

Recently I am seeing the name of the shop when browsing thru either 'type' (category or search bar) search results, but in the past I have seen results with no shop name shown. It was a generic wasteland. 

But then recently I am also back to seeing the number of listings returned in search results. The actual number is shown and not the random "1,000 +".

I'm in the same test. The only place that shows shop names for me is if it's an "Etsy's Pick".

I'm not seeing any shop names and it's really annoying!
