This is the response I received from ETSY Support regarding the missing SM Buttons:
Thanks for getting in touch about this. There is actually a team here that is currently testing a few things with the listing page. This includes the removal of the social media sharing buttons.
In the meantime, you'll still be able to copy/paste the url when visiting a listing and pasting it to your prefered social media site.
We often run tests on Etsy with the goal of bringing more sales to our sellers. Even if a feature already seems to be working well, we find that there's always room for improvement and new opportunities to bring even more business. As ecommerce is continually evolving, we run experiments on Etsy to help test out ways to make it easier for buyers to find what they are looking for and make a purchase. Testing allows us to build better tools for the entire Etsy community.
We keep a careful eye on stats that tell us exactly how buyers and sellers change their behavior because of tests, but we know it’s not all about the data. We also listen to what the community is telling us via email, feedback forms, the Forums, and other avenues.
It's really valuable to hear your perspective on potential changes so we get a more complete picture, and I want you to know that I'm noting your feedback and will be sharing it with our teams to review.
