items loading when playing team games

[justwhatyourelookin4]

I am having difficulties with pages/listings loading when I play team games.  Either page is unresponsive or just circles and takes several minutes to load.  I have tried different browsers and have the same issue.

Try resetting your modem.

The obvious answer would be to quit playing team games when you are listing items.

[TheTradingStation2]

I am not playing games while listing.  I just meant the page OR the listing will not load. 

[NanaLetha]

@justwhatyourelookin4  You do realize that playing those types of games don't get you sales and brings down your conversion rate.

[PlatypusDream]

Exactly. All those empty clicks without purchase and short views teach the search engine that the listing is poor quality and no purchaser will want it.

It would be much, much better for the OP to spend their time and energy promoting on social media, or building a Pinterest or Instagram account with original content.

Try logging out and then back into your account. Or try refreshing the page.

[TheTradingStation2]

No, I did not realize that.  It must be just a coincidence then when I play them and sell more.

You only have 1 sale so how are you "selling more" by playing team games?

Be careful that you are not falling victim to scammers -- if you get a message purporting to be from Etsy asking you to confirm your email / financial info to finalise the sale, do not reply!

Remember, Etsy already have your email and financial information, so you don't need to enter it again anywhere

If you have a genuine sale, it will appear on your Dashboard

Make sure you re playing games only with fellow members on the team.  Most of use do not like the game playing and it does diminish conversion scores.

If you play the games outside the team then don't be surprised if the sellers get a little testy.  It's a sore point with many.

Just clean out cache and cookies.  Reboot.

My original post was under justwhatyourelookin4.  My replies have unfortunately been under my other shop name thetradingstation2, which I just opened up.  I didn't see a way to edit my responses.  Thank you for your information.

What does "playing team games" mean?

[OneEyeCatStudio]

Maybe they're like reindeer games?  The ones that Rudolph was excluded from?

[BagmakerSupply]

@Jewels2at @Vintorious  : Don't know for sure if this is what OP meant, but "team games" generally means trying to game the search engine with shilling techniques such as "you favorite mine and I'll favorite yours" in order to create fake and misleading data and artificially inflate the shop’s reputation.

[KKbraceletsandmore]

If you have multiple shops, you must disclose ALL of them on your public profile.

[TheTradingStation2]

It's actually my 91 year old mother's shop, not mine.  I only have one shop. I just happened to be logged into hers rather than mine.  Have a great day!

Clear your cache files and restart your browser. That takes care of 90% of page-related loading problems.

What's a 'team game'? 

[LastCentury]

Based on their Profile history... it looks like a lot of faving games. 

They are like empty calories for a shop's conversion rate.
