So I saw the announcement that the old listing form is being retired because the new listing form has been updated and is far superior to the old one.
I think "Great! They are now showing the shipping costs to various locations just like the old one did. I really need that information when writing listings."
Alas, I cannot find the information on the "new and improved" listing form. It MUST be there and I simply do not see it since you know, this form is superior.
So where is the shipping calculator on the form? If it is on the older version that is inferior, putting it on the newer version should be simple.
It isn't there because Etsy doesn't want it to be. Why is that?
My guess as to why? It is so people will lower their shipping cost without knowing what they are charging in the first place. Etsy is still going to be telling people their shipping cost is too high when it isn't. Now maybe some will believe it.
