The changes to "Favourites"

[GargovCrystals]

A message to ETSY...

I hope the changes you made to "Favourites" are not permanent! Because now...it's worse!

When I go to the section I expect to see the items I favorited right away...as it was until recently. Instead, now I see only a few of them grouped in two categories, with NO OPTION to change that...

Yes, yes...when I click the "group favorites"- button it switches to the favorited items BUT...it RESETS when I click the "Favorites" icon again... I have to switch that EVERY TIME! It's annoying...it's NOT AN IMPROVEMENT! 

An improvement would be to add some filters in Favourites so that we can sort these items. 

"Sort by shop" would be quite useful. 

This points to another change you made in "Favourites":

THE SHOP NAMES ARE GONE! WHY!?

Did somebody forget to add them/make them visible? I hope they are not...removed...because that would be unprofessional and disrespectful...

People spent their time and energy to make their listings...and paid you to publish them...then to renew them, again and again...

The only way to have my favorite items sorted was because of the shop names. I re-favorited them every time I add new items from the same shop. It is annoying but at least it was a way to have some order in "Favorites"...

Now I have to open each favorited listing, EVERY TIME...just to see whose item it is... Add a filter for favorite items, when browsing somebody's shop. That would be useful, too.

These changes make shopping difficult and annoying, and will drive people away from Etsy - buyers and sellers...it already does...

I agree, the changes to favorites are not any kind of improvement.

I have a section they created called Gender-neutral adult clothing.

There are three items on it; one of the items isn't clothing at all, but an art print, nothing to do with clothing.

In other sections created by Etsy's AI, they are showing me sold items before items that are still for sale.

At least there is a toggle button to turn off these silly AI created sections, but every time you go back to favorites, it's turned back on.

I cannot believe that Etsy has just taken away all my favourites!  I had many items that I was planning to go back to and buy.  Now I have no idea where those items are.  Years of selecting beautiful things has just gone up in smoke.  What they  now have for my favourites is nothing like what I had saved.

I cleared all my favourites some time ago, because the super-annoying reminder pop-ups were driving me mad. I now add to cart instead, and immediately save for later. In other words, the save for later section of my cart is now my favourites list. It's the only way to shop on Etsy and stay sane!

I miss the old favorites, when I click on the titles, I can only see the first couple of words, and it's hard to identify.
