Article Roundup

There've been quite a bit of Etsy news this month, with management shakeups and the usual SEO changes. A few stories you might have missed:

From the Etsy Sellers Handbook: They're trying to improve our customers' buying experience.

Etsy fixed an issue with multi-shop checkout.

Etsy's shopper protections are undergoing a new test.

You can create a custom website via Pattern.

If you have products in Home and Living, there's an experiment with attributes.

Color variations. Should you do one listing or list each color separately? A breakdown.

Check your return policy. One Etsy seller lost $386 when her return policy was changed without her noticing.

If you're in L.A. or nearby, check out team member Hilary L. Hahn's Shibori Fabrics Workshop on July 9th. More info on the workshop can be found here.

Sellers aren't really liking the new stats.

The new default for new listings is for automatic renewals (rather than manual). If you prefer manual relisting, keep an eye out.

Corporate headquarters is laying off employees. And reorganizing its workforce.

Some tests and changes in Etsy search.

Summer is a good time for a marketing checkup. But just remember, it is against Etsy policy to collect email addresses for marketing purposes (as is suggested in the article).

Anything we missed? Let us know in the comments.
