Years on etsy….

[feltplanet]

My shop homepage says I have been on etsy 14 years….nope….16 years….fix please….

Many shops have the wrong year. And I doubt Etsy will fix it.

They know they have it wrong.

They don't care.

@feltplanet Good luck with that! My 19th Etsyversary is this week but Etsy thinks I've only been here 14 years too.

it does baffle me how long this one has been allowed to go unaddressed

On the one hand, I get that it's something buyers won't care about & only a minority of sellers are affected but on the other hand "can't count past 14" jarrs badly with Etsy's messaging about how advanced its algorithms & AI is; not to mention how rudimentary maths is quite important in calculating tax deductions, seller fees, CPC ad auctions - yet counting is apparently so tricky

@feltplanet  You're lucky it's only one thing wrong with your shop. My shop is a complete mess right now. Ongoing coding errors are crippling my sales. I even received a pop-up in my dashboard a couple weeks ago saying that Etsy will "tell me what to sell"!  I had to click "Got It" to get rid of the notice, as if I was agreeing to it.   As for the years in business, my year changed from 10 to 11 over time, so maybe yours will update at some point.

I agree - they will more than likely not address this.  I would try to focus your energy on something else in your control....not being "fresh" just realistic lol
