new icon on page

What is the reason for the "get cash back in 5 stores" icon on all my item pages? It actually tells people that they can find "similar" items elsewhere with cash back! I don't appreciate buyers being tempted to leave my shop after I've paid for ads to get them there. Is this a test? In my opinion it's a truly awful idea.

That sure sounds like some malware or something like an app from outside of etsy.

I just checked  your shop, and I'm not seeing it now on mobile.

Who knows - maybe it is from Etsy?

Sounds like malware or you have an extension on your browser that's putting that there, like a Capital One credit card extension. I doubt if your buyers see it. It sounds like it's intended for you. I've seen other similar reports in Forums today, but I seriously doubt if it's an Etsy notice. I'm on a desktop and I don't see it in your shop.

@LeafandLavender  Also just checked on my laptop - not seeing what you described.  Thank goodness!

Sure hope it's not an Etsy test.  Your shop is just gorgeous, by the way - I had already faved it!

Try a different browser and see if the message appears. Clear your browsing history, reboot your computer or tablet, and see if that helps. I checked your shop and it's not Etsy on the phone app.

Do you have some sort of add on or extension like Honey?

Thank you for the thoughts... it seems it was an extension, which I removed. I did see the icon in other shops, though, so I was concerned!

@LeafandLavender  Thank you for confirming!  With all the kooky stuff  Etsy constantly adds, one just never knows!

You probably saw it in other shops because it was user/device dependent.
