The wider pages look great! I can't wait until it is site wide!

Love the new look!! Great job!

Perfect !

And love the GollyBard wonderful work as well :)

looking forward to the new look.

That's great! I'm looking forward!

I like new design. It looks friendly and functional.

Wow! Looks great!

Nice work!

Wowie look at THAT! Very cool. Excited to see the change. Thanks Etsy!

looks great...can't wait to see it up close and personal!

I am already seeing the new page and love it! Good job etsy :)

yipeeee!!!

Yay!!! Very cool! Good job Etsy :)

I like the wider format change, but i kind of wish the info stayed on the right hand side of the page!

yay!!

The new page looks perfect! I can not wait until you are ready! Thank you very much for putting my picture! what an honor!

sweet!! thank you!

looks cool. I can't wait to see it :D

I like the wider format. Thanks! :)

Woohoo!

Pretty snazzy, if you ask me!

Good Job

ooo can't wait until this goes live! ps. totally love those john and yoko puppets! hilarious!

That's awesome! Thanks for the hard work! Can't wait to see it. Could we please have easier way to change up the featured items? Perhaps a click and drag option.

wow! looks clean! so first thing I notice is the word PROFILE is not there anymore, we all have some major editing to do! (as in- "see profile for more info" written in all my listings and policies). Also, the words "see who hearts this shop" are now "see who favorites". I like 'hearts'! I do notice the little heart above the shop banner though, is that a favoriting tool? OH! AND I just noticed that the shop announcement is cut off and instead has a "read more" button. Im worried about that one. I am concise about my shop announcement, but when I have very important stuff I want to post I dont want my buyers to have to click ANOTHER button to read it if its long that day.

looks nice and clean!

Oh wow, that's amazing!! Thank you!

This is a great change -- I've always found shop pages to be slightly hard to navigate. I'm glad this is being implemented!

I love the new design, and now am dying to see my shop like this! Great job, TWO THUMBS UP!!!

very cool!!! cant wait!! I love change...i get bored with the same thing anyway...you wont find me eating the same tuna sandwiches everyday! embrace change...yeah!! :o)

If this means more meat above the fold then it can only equal more sales. YAY!

Wow this is going to look so nice, I can't wait to see it!

Woohoo! xo

so excited, especially for a new shoppie like me! thanks for being so thoughtful, Etsy staff! Golly Bard's stuff is excellent too! cool choice!

We love the wider pages and the aforfebre ring!!! :-) :-)

love it - such a great use of space! can't wait. :)

I can't waiting

That's a great news! Thank you so much for working toward this change! The wider shop page looks fantastic~

So exciting! Change can be so refreshing!

I like the new design - clean and crisp. The only thing that I'm worried about is that the shop announcement is going to be chopped. I find that is one of the best ways to learn about what is happening in a store - sales/policies etc.

I think it looks great. Can't wait to see it go live on all pages!

Very nice- look forward to seeing this get rolled out!

I love it! It looks so clean, fresh, and professional! Nice job.

Looks great! Getting ready to another shop rearrangement! :) Another thing: it would be VERY helpful if we had a chance to renew the items so they go to their "custom" slots, not to the top of the first page. Rearranging the shop several times a day is a nightmare... Thank you very much!

great change!

very cool

Love the new look - wonderful idea!

I am excited about the brilliant new look!

Looking forward to the new look!!!!

Fabulous!! I can't wait!!! :0)

exciting! I clicked on the enlarge, and got a smaller image, lol. So I can't wait to see the changes live!

Oh, wow! Love the larger featured and gallery images

How exciting is this?????

looks very clean and nice, when can we expect this change?

Thank you so much for all of your work on this! It looks great and I am looking forward to the new format! Cheers!

I like the new format very well. I am excited for this change to occur!

Wow! This is exciting! :D

My etsy keeps getting better and better, all thanks to you all!! Keep up the good work-thank you!

So excited! I know there will be "tweaks" on the way but it's a EXCELLENT step! Can't wait!!!

congrats agus!!!

It looks great!

I know you keep saying *wider*... does that mean I have to get a bigger laptop? :-D

Very cool, great job!!!

I agree, the changes have all been great. More items per page! Better get busy and list more.

the better to see you,my pretties!

Love that there will be more items per page.

Great! But, I don't like the 'read more' button in the shop announcement - in busy periods I NEED to have my shop announcement bold & clear!

I noticed that this feature snuck in for a few hours recently, LOVE IT as well...it feels right

I can't wait! Looks nice so far. And I am very intrigued by the "request custom item". Can't wait to see how that works.

I love it! Can't wait, looks sweet!

I love it :D :D Especially the display on the items! Lovely and more attracting!

Ooooh, I'm all giddy with excitement! Can't wait to log on and see this pop up one day. :D

Looks good to me!

Thrilled with the new shop look!

Great news - can't wait to try the new format in my shop!

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have the shop announcement cut off...many customers won't click to "read more," and so will miss out on the message the seller wanted them to read.

Looks good. Not sure I like all the options on the left hand side but perhaps I will get use to it. I am tossed about the "read more" option. In ways its good because its not the first thing people see and they no longer have to scroll past your announcement to see your stuff, but then people may not get very important info.

Look great!

Wee, what fun!!!

i agree that the section info should stay on the right, so we don't look like ebay pages. otherwise, seems nice!

amazing news..thanks

Sweet!

...this looks super duper cool...thank you!!! XO

Hooray! Doing more justice to beautiful images. <3

I think it looks great!

Easiest remodeling I've ever done! It looks great, thanks for all your hard work!

ooh! Thanks for always making things better for us! WE LOVE YOU ETSY :)

It looks cool.........can't wait!

So exciting- the new format looks great! I'm looking forward to reworking my shop with the new design!

I don't suppose we could get the ability to get more sections to further organize our shops, could we? Love the new layout ^_^

Hmmm, from a design standpoint, I'm not a fan of even numbers. But I'm sure I'll get used to it. I like having the options on the left. It's more consistent with the rest of the site. "about this shop" has replaced "profile"? I prefer the more personal aspect of "profile", especially since it falls under the "shop owner" section.

This is great!

HOORAY!

Hmm..I usually LOVE visual change (I like mostly all of the other recent Etsy site design changes), but I am really not too thrilled about this new layout. I am worried about the Shop Announcements being cut short. Why have a specified announcement area if it only allots for less than 3 lines? I prefer an odd number of columns. It just feels better. Now having 4 columns will allow more product to be seen, so I guess that's a positive. I liked the menu on the right. I can't give you a good reason it should stay there...I'm just used to it (like the SHOP button at the top that got moved! AHH!!) I do however, like the organization of the new side menu. It seems to be grouped better. I thought *hearting* something was a cute idea. *Favoriting* a product is missing something...it's missing the love that the heart provided. :) I do like the larger gallery images...let's hope people actually shop in that mode.

This is GREAT..^_^

I look forward to the larger gallery images ;-)

I adore the wider pages. I can't wait. I think it is a great idea.

It's going to be great! Thanks Tech Team!

I kind of like the idea of the menu being on the left side - but only for the customers. Personally, I got used to it being on the right side. I have to agree with my fellow Etsians about the shop announcement getting cut off - only a good idea in theory. Now I've got to work to figure out how to write a short enough message so customers won't have to click on "read more". Not fun at all! Having 28 items per page is a little weird, but I can get used to it. I'm wondering how that is going to work for Etsians who only need to list maybe 10 items in their stores...just a thought. For the most part, though, I think the changes will be good. I look forward to the changes...

That's wonderful news! the new design looks great. Can't wait!

I like it!

I dig! I dig! Excited for the new look! Just in time for a few reno's of my own!

I like! 28 items per page sure is a lot of storefront! ^_^

Can't wait! Love it!

I'm SO glad that the links sections are on the left now, I think customers will be more apt to clicking on them (and they are so important). I also love the wording "Shop Owner" and "Opened On", so quirky and cute :oD And I'm glad the doubled up "feedback" and "rating" sections are combined into one now, I've been meaning to suggest that for ages. Great work guys!

Looks awesome! Can't wait! Thanks Etsy!

Thanks! Love that yellow chair!

The new design looks great! Wonderful job you did! The only thing i dislike is the anouncement that is cut off - three lines is too short to let the shoppers know about important things.

I love having more items displayed above the fold but... I'm really not sure shortening the intro to just 3 lines is going to help. :( In any case, it'd definitely take some getting used to!

All right! Can't wait!

Cool!

That will be great!

love the new user interface. great work.

this is great! more items per page means i better start getting busy creating more unique stuff!

Cannot wait!!!

I like it!!!

Like it!

Yes and no. I agree with worksofwhimsy, both about the even number of product (I feel assaulted by the choice!) and the favour of 'profile' over 'shop'. 'profile' makes it more human, it makes you feel like the person who owns the shop puts their personal onus into every product, rather than just peddling stuff. It feels more artisan. I'm wondering (like many people) what this means for those of us with non-widescreen layouts. Will gallery images look smaller now? Will we have to side-scroll? Flickr just went 'new' and it's terribly cramped, I'd hate for Etsy to go the same way. Don't get me wrong, anything that helps Etsy develop as a shopping site is good, it's just we shouldn't lose our 'handmadeness'.

looks exciting!! I also think working on where a renewed item goes is a good idea. I would prefer that the renewed item remained on its custom place instead of jumping to the head of the list.

it sounds great'!

I think this will be a fun improvement! thank you all for what you do for us! Cant wait to see it in action!

Wow, I like it. Can't wait for it

Wow! Do you wanna know what we love here at LeafandInk?! We L-O-V-E the fact that Etsy staffers work sooooooo hard to make things better for us all! THANK YOU Etsy! Thank you that you are always searching for ways to improve with innovation and creativity! http://leafandink.wordpress.com/

Thanks for inform :)

It's looking great but I'm not sure about the "read more" option because it's the first way to say hi ,notified any shop's news or any status. I think my customer will be miss Important ,it must be boring to press follow "Read more" and I think 3 lines it's not enough. Thank you for informed and develop I love you Etsy (^__^)

Can't wait to see the change!! :D

interesting! i like the extra room for items. i do agree with what others have said re the 'read more'. thanks for keeping us updated :)

looks great!

really nice sharing thanks..:)

i love new design! Looks much more profesional and some changes are always for good, so you never get tired of current layout!

I've been so looking forward to seeing the new shop layout and I have to say that overall I think its looks great! I love the navigation being on the left hand side and the new rendering, it looks much tidier and cleaner. I do like the four streamlined catergories too, but I think the new wording is a wee bit too clinical. I much prefer 'hearts' to 'favourites' and in the Shop Owner section I would prefer to see 'About GollyBard' instead of 'About this shop'. I know these are only small details but I think they are key to the overall sense of 'personal service' that both sellers and shoppers expect from Etsy stores. Also, I really love that you have reduced the shop announcement section. I hate having to scroll so far to see the shop wares, but I do think two and a half lines is a wee bit limited... I would be happy with around five lines for example. Lastly, there is a huge void of white space above the shop banner between the shop name and heart button. I do think the shop banner should be at the top of this section (again one of those personal touch reasons) with the shop name and heart button directly underneath... maybe a wee bit of juggling here would be beneficial and give more space for a couple of extra lines in the shop announcement. Other than those wee details it does look great and I want to thank you all so much for your hard work... :) Emma x

Thanks so much for all of your efforts!! Peace from John and Yoko...

That's great! Can't wait to see the final results in my etsy pages! Thanks for the updates!

sweeeeet! thanks, etsy!

super!

If the homepage is anything to go by them I am looking forward to the new layout

Very cool, I think shoppers will be able to relate to this layout much better!

this is gonna rock! i love how you guys are always moving

I really like it - now to brace for some fierce habit-breaking on my part.

SO much better this way! Love the new layout, I can't wait to see it in action :) <3 Andrea

oooo do me do me

This is going to be awesome!

sweet

Sweet! I can't wait!

Sounds great!

I think the design looks great, but I put quite a bit of important info in my shop announcement, and the "read more" will no longer show all that. I get quite a few "new to etsy" customers, and I am worried that now, even more so than before, no one will read this vital information. Is there an option to display the entire announcement? I just really do not like the idea of this being hid by default and think it will hurt many of us that don't have gigantor announcements, but do have important info for buyers to read that are less likely to click "read more" or visit the policies page during a visit. Otherwise, beautiful design! ~Wren ZenAndCoffee.etsy.com Arm Warmers & Fingerless Gloves for all seasons & styles! <3

I meant display entire shop announcement by default, that is. Just realized how unclear that bit was :P ~Wren ZenAndCoffee.etsy.com Arm Warmers & Fingerless Gloves for all seasons & styles!

Way to go!! great job guys~ Etsy must continue to grow n evolve not become stagnet and stale~Onward and upward I'm excited can't wait to see the changes. :)

the above website by billclass is spam - am getting alerts from McAfee

This looks awesome! Can't wait to see it!

Thats why I only click on etsy shop links, beachglassshop. Any link that doesnt go to an etsy shop or etsy related page is never worth clicking, imho, and prolly virus ridden too.

Please let us at least have the option of displaying our whole shop announcement... 3 lines is not enough & people are way too busy (or lazy, or just not interested enough) to keep clicking to different pages. Also, reading it gives you a good insight into the seller's personality, which is important on a site like this. I don't like the "hearting" replaced by "favouriting" either, makes it seem too much like eBay. I'm not keen on the aesthetics of having 4 columns & I prefer the links on the right where they've always been... Etsy is a UNIQUE site, selling unique work so why be so keen to make it look just like every other website out there? In my experience, if people can navigate around with their eyes closed then they'll do just that, & not bother to actually READ too many of the extra links, etc. The wider layout is good as you get to see more items per page so there's less waiting for new pages to load, but most of the other changes make Etsy look like an imitation eBay & I miss the unique quirkiness & individuality that drew me here in the first place.

ok...lol, love the extra column, but prefer the right navigation. totally agree with montgomerycrystalco2 that it looks like ebay! previous version also has stronger visual distinction between items. I totally second the others' opinions on how the truncation of shop announcement should be optional. I do read them, and want to know if there's a sale, or some other info right off the bat. also shop announcement is weirdly less wide than shop banner. I hope that the reformatting of the shops also carries over to the shop admin page. It would be great for shop owners to be able to customize things like that announcement from the admin page in an elegant way. please create a more user friendly admin page -- it's hard to get to my invoices and also to organize items (drag and drop interface would be great). Also resolve image proportions when uploading photos -- it's annoying to have to predict how etsy will crop photos. ok, that's my rant!

love it! nice!

OOooOOOooo pretty! I love the new design. jumpin' high 5 for Etsy!!

Swell news! Love the Organic Fractal Broccoli, too!

Very nice, can't wait to see it live! Thanks Etsy! :)

Looks great! I can't wait for it to start!

Looks Good! Change is a great thing.

I hope all of these comments are read and considered before this becomes live. I understand most of the changes and can get on board with them, but not all. There is the side sections "Shop Owner" and "Shop Info" I think it's confusing that the subsection "About this shop" is under the Owner section. It does make things sound more big business versus individual, and Etsy shops are run by individuals. Also I agree with the concerns about the Shop Announcement being cut off. As a shop owner I understand that the more type I put into my shop announcement, the consequence is my product images being pushed further below the fold. I think it should remain the shop owners decision to find that balance for their shop. And, of course, I loved the uniqueness of getting and giving hearts, instead of just having favorites .. . in the end it will be up to us shop owners to take what Etsy provides us and make it work!

Great job dudes! Love the new design of shop pages, suupper!! oww! just realized,My zucchini vase in related items, super suprise for me! Thank you so much for the feature :)

This totally makes the shops look more professional! Great update!

I am enjoying the new look to etsy, keep up great work ya all are doing ! come see my new launched site too ya all at http://southernstarrdesignsjewelry.ning.com/ i have been working hard to finally branch out along side my facebook page !

It looks so nice! Thanks for the update & u'r hard work!

Looking forward to the new shop changes, currency has been great so far thank you!

Yippee! :D

This is going to be marvelous! I can't wait because the bigger pages will attract a lot more color and views.

The look is great. I am not a fan of the 3 line announcement. It definitely needs to be much longer. The collapsable feature works nice for shops with incredibly lengthy announcements. But is seems like the only info we can type in and have visible is "Hi. click the read more button to see what I have to say...". Please reconsider. Also, I'd love to see the other view option of the page. It looks like there are 2 ways to view the shop items.

Interesting! I will have to adjust going to the left side for everything. Habits are hard to break. 5 lines for the announcement would be better-customers want things fast,simple,and easy -like instead of clicking for read more. Change comes with growth and I'd like to hear from some buyers on how they like it. You Etsy guys -thanks for the extra eye candy!

I love everything about this new look! Can't wait to see it enhance my shop's look!

LOVE the new look. Has lots of eye-appeal!

like the new page! seems more professional

woohoo!!! looks awesome,thank you.can't wait.

like it! seems more professional thanks for the update

Love the new look

Love it!

love it~ looks great!

I LOVE it!

Yeah! Can't wait! Love it!

i've been dying for this update - yay!!

I love this!

Looking forward to this wonderful change.

I'm in favor of any- and everything that will help our cause. Best Regards, The Backyard Harmonica Teacher

Looks good and yes, people read left to right.

I love change (up for a challenge) but agree that the 'read more' in announcements and loosing the 'hearts' should be thought about a little more.

Love it. I prefer bigger pictures than loads of text so I think it will be a very successful change for everyone!

So excited I can hardly stand it! Thank you!

Always improvements - many thanks!

wow, lots of changes. i'm so used to going to the right for all the links! ultimately, i think this will be better. now can we get etsy to add a feature to assign items to multiple categories?

Very nice guys. I approve. I know alot of people will hm and ha about the shop announcement being "expandable minimizable" but I think its brilliant. Grab peoples attention with your work, and with a short shop summary I think they will be more apt to click read more without the heinous scroll past some peoples LARGE announcements. FANTASTIC GUYS.

Sounds good! I am really looking forward to improvements to FAVORITES! Hope that is coming soon too!

Looking forward to this upgrade! GREAT news - yipppeee!!!!!

Wonderful - thanks!

I love the idea CHANGE is good..

L❤VE...L❤VE...L❤VE Thank you, Etsy!! :)

Great!! Thanks etsy.

I think it will be much better!

Oh this is great, love love love it!! Thanks Etsy!

this is great!!!! right time for me as i am aadding a shop and a lot of new work this fall. thanks, etsy

LOVE this new look!! YAY!!!

although i agree on not cutting shop announcment :(

Glad to hear about the new page design! Offers 4 items across! Customers will see more products to choose from! Thanks Etsy!

A great improvement!!! Awesome!

love the way it looks! can't wait till I can use it at the luncheonette. it's giving me a lot of ideas as to how to adapt/improve. go etsy!

Yay,change mine, I can't wait!! How wide is the new banner I wonder?

LOVE the new look! These are changes I've been hoping for. Thank you!

seems more professional, thanks!

I think shop announcements should be an option to show all or condensed (a tab under in appearance shop setup). Other than that its fine... Since its wider will we all have to redesign our banners or is it just going to stretch what we currently have?

I really love it. Even though I liked the old look, I like this new look even more.

Can't wait to have this new look in my shop! Yeah!! Great improvement!

Oh wow! This redesign looks really great. Has a sort of modern feel to it. I'm looking forward to these new changes!

I'm going to love this. I especially like how you flipped all the shop info to the left.

Just wanted to note: the shop banner in the new design is the same -- 760 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall. No resizing is needed, and no stretching will occur. Cheers, Sean

Awesome!! Yay for getting a new modern look and more items above the fold!!!

This will be wonderful! I love the idea of seeing more product on the first page. Can't wait. Ciao!

YAY!! :)

I love the redesign...thanks for the head's up as well! I just hope that people will actually take the time to read shop announcements. I have to put some of my shop policies in the announcement section due to the fact that some people don't read shop policies. Everything else, as I said before is quite nice! :-)

I like. It's impossible to please everyone, it's a big improvement and the clean look is welcome in my book!

Very exciting!

Really pumped for this! Thanks for the info.

I love this new look! Looking forward to seeing this new look in my shop!

I'm right handed....left side? That's not what I would have chosen. It seems too bright, I like the shaded gray columns that are used currently. I personally don't do great with change, creature of habit if you will.

Change is good! Can't wait to see it begin to roll out.

It looks wonderful! Can't wait to see it in action :)

Can't wait. It looks great.

Thanks for the new look! Can't wait to see it on my homepage :)

Thank you for continuing to make great improvements!

merci beaucoup!!! everything looks so much better and we have no worries about the shop announcement being smaller--the products will be much more front and center and this will encourage better shots all 'round...xoxo kristeen & the french girls

Very nice, I have to agree with others about the Shop Announcement. What about sellers on vacation who leave their shop open? If it doesn't display the full Announcement, customers might buy without realizing it won't ship immediately. Many people will not know to click on the 'Read More' or even want to click to read more information. I am glad items will be on the left which is more of a standard on web sites. I do wish the 'Shop Section' names were larger so they would stand out more against other links on the page - similar to a Table of Contents on a web site. Overall nice improvement!

yay! Sounds good. Can't wait:)

Very Fresh! Very nice change! Good work.

Looks very nice and clean, but I have to say I agree with shop announcement abbreviations. Some very important information there that buyers are not going to click to read. They rarely go to policies before buying either. I like Heart better than favorite,but favorite is more consistent with other sites. New navigation top bar is more buyer friendly, but I still have to search for my sign in. Guess I'll just have to get used to it. Right side for buyer info (cart) is much better. Thanks so much for all your work making Etsy a better place to sell.

This looks so beautiful and fresh!!! I really love how etsy keeps everything new...

FAB-U-LOUS!

We like change....it will be interesting to see how it works. When is it rolling out?...maybe I can find the answer to that.

I really love the new layout! Much more shopper friendly. (However, I like "Profile" instead). If so many are worried about the "read more" link, why not add a link at the left for "Announcements". Sellers could post all their news and info there. A good place for a list of treasuries we are in :) Simply by adding one sentence to your listings - Check out my Shop Announcements while you're here - If buyers want to learn more, they will go read more! A big Thanks to Etsy for continuing to improve the Best online Market for Handmade!!

I didn't think Etsy could get any better!!! THANK YOU and I can't wait to see what comes next! Hooray for those who are always working to make things run smoothly! I appreciate it very much!

I love it! It looks so clean, fresh, and professional! Nice job.I'm excited about this

Looks great, can't wait!

very cool! when? when?? :-)

Yeaaaaah! Change is good!

Looks very professional! Nic job!

Oh I am so excited, this new page layout looks great!

Oh it is wonderful! I can't wait!!!

Fantastic looking, excellent idea, can't wait!

I like it! :o)

looks great! can't wait to see it in action!

I really like the use of four columns for extra viewing and I think it is still balanced in a nice odd number because the info column makes it a fifth. I miss the term hearting, but I see that choosing a favorite makes it more new user friendly. I do like the streamlined feeling of the info column on the left, and yet it feels a bit unnatural. The images and white space beyond them feel a bit lost without a defined right edge. I find myself looking at the images first, because images capture interest easily and the info is an afterthought that I might not explore. Perhaps that is a good, because I am drawn to the products displayed primarily. I don't think that would bother me if the right edge wasn't a sharp edge, but a fluid amorphous edge. In the end all of the right versus left discomfort may just be a matter of what I am accustomed to seeing. I'm still excited to the change! :)(chuckle)

Having said all that my website and blog have the info on the left. :D

I do like the 'bigger' look & the idea that your items are closer to the top. That having been said, I'm also unsure that I like the shortened shop announcement. I know there is a problem with a long announcement & I like to break mine into bullet type points, so a customer can read as much or as little as the want. I feel like most will not click to read more & will miss important details. We'll have to see how it works out. Overall though, I like the new design!

Verrry nice, love it!

I understand everyones concerns, but I think it's just a matter of getting used to the new layout. I love the 3 line limit on shop announcements. Longer announcements are distracting. I can't wait to work with the new format.

Wider is better! But, I'm not a fan of everything moving from the right to the left. And I'm horrified that the shop announcement has been shortened. Couldn't there be an option to show it long or short? :(

3 things: 1. Love it! Thanks for working so hard on this. :) 2. Keep "heart", don't change to "favorite". 3. Flip the navigation back to the right so we don't get mixed up with Ebay. Thanks, that's all.

AMAZING CHANGES!!! Thank you so much for always pushing the envelope and finding new ways to do things here on Etsy, both as buyers and sellers. SO EXCITED for the updates and wider pages. Yeeehaaawwww!

I love it! Esty is Awesome!

Thanks wonderful

Cool, looking forward to the new l@@K.

Thank you, Etsy! Terrific changes (tho perhaps another few lines for announcement, or as Lindesigns (I think) suggested, a button to click for 'read more'. Good to keep announcements short -- esp here on Etsy, most buyers are visual folks, IMHO Keep it going, Etsy -- thank you!

I like the idea of shortening the shop announcement actually, it's less distracting to buyers; maybe we could get a couple more lines though, and put a small visual break between the banner and announcement? I find it a bit cramped up there. The right-left switch does feel a little unnatural but I like how your eye goes right to the images instead of the sidebar. Love the wider layout too, a big improvement!

I am excited about this! I love the cropped shop announcement - great for getting rid of clutter - plus you can always click "read more" if buyer is interested in learning more about you

I think I will love the new outlook. It will be more user friendly. Thanks!

This is great! I'm so excited to see the updates. Yay!

This is a fantastic idea cos we are all so visual and want to buy products that incorporate better bigger piccies! Good on you ETSY! jenie

Sounds great, can't wait. I have a few questions, so I am off to the forum thread to get them answered.

This is so great! I was just wishing that our pics could be bigger today. Wish granted! I love Etsy soooooooo much!

I am going to be a nay sayer. I guess everyone needs one?! I think there is a tendency to pan the page and not see it. I think part of it is the writing on the left where your eye goes first, then having so many images at once. I thought the old way was cleaner. At least I wish you were keeping the writing on the left...

Looks nice!

While I think it will be more fun to have lots of gallery space to play with, I concur with the others who are concerned about the shop announcement space being cut back.... I need a place where people can see what's happening in terms of shipping schedules, sales, and other pertinent info without having to jump to another page... I highly suggest a built in editing tool to change fonts, etc. within the announcement area to make things POP!

Love the new look, very exciting, and thanks for the discovery of this beautiful shop gollybard, gorgeous stuff! a new fav!

I love this new look, less text more images, looks better. Sellers with loooongg shop announcements may take a different view.

I'm excited for this. I think the shop announcement thingy is a much better idea. In my opinion, the announcement should be short and to the point. I personally hardly ever read announcements, which are long. I want to see the product with a brief shop description so hands up in favor from me!

I definitely agree with the others about keeping the shop announcement as it is - being new, I want to let the buyers know a bit more about what I have to offer. We should be able to decide which version as sellers to use. Also will we have to completely re-do our pages, or does this happen automatically?

Change is good. Though I'm still trying to get use to the 'conversations' that is now on the top left corner!

Thank you, Wonderful concept.. :)

i just thought of something recently that i would love to see as an addition...if someone is a repeat customer, it would be nice to know it. i always thought i'd remember, but thankfully i'm going up in sales so i wouldn't. it wouuld be nice if etsy would let us know when/if someone is returning.

I think it makes more sense to have the navigation on the left but it will take some adjustment. I'm not sure how keen I am on the reduction of the shop announcement. But the new page does look great.

We luv the wider-cleaner look!! But we are also in agreement about the shop announcements. We are confused as to why you would change the "HEARTS". Afterall, it's Etsy who made the term "HEARTS" famous! Thanks for your hard work and dedication Etsy! Overall we really like the look! Jes & Jolene

Love it

Great work!

Sheepishly exciting! How soon?

The new look is so fresh, clean and appealing and I love that customers will be able to see more on one page! Thanks for all your hard work!

I love the wider, clear shop view and especially that more images will be shown on each page...a real plus for customers and sellers alike! Thank you for all your work to support etsy shop owners!

Yea! Thanks... New designs looks great! Cant wait to see it in place.

Thanks for all the hard work you do to help us sell! I'm excited to see what my shop looks in the new layout, and to see what you've got in coming up next.

The larger pictures will be a big plus, thanks!

Can't wait for this!

Absolutely Love the New Look.

Love it!!!

I like it!

wonderful I love it!

I like this a lot. Two questions however. (1) Are we going to be able to add enough content in the shop announcements for google. (2) How does the wider page work out with hand held mobile devices?

Very excited for this to roll out!!!

This is awesome ! The new look is so cool ! :D

This is exactly what we need! I look forward to using it! Thanks

I love change so I love this! Very clean and fresh. Thanks Etsy!

Excellent! Really looking forward to the change.

Left a comment earlier then read some of the posted comments... I hadn't noticed that the shop announcement was only 3 lines... that's not enough, and many customers will simply look at the listing and may miss important info because they don't want to click to read more.

I have to agree with everyone who thinks 3 lines for an announcement is not enough, because it just isn't. But.....I also don't like having to read a long announcment at the top of every page either. So here is a compromise, leave the anouncment as is on the first page of our shops, then on all of the following pages limit it to the 3 lines and the "read more" option.

cool!

Love the new design, thanks!

I love the way it looks! I am disappointed, however, that there will be even fewer products displayed per page. I wish we had the choice to display x number of items per page (not changing the thumbnail size, just adding to the length of the page). I often want to browse a shop that has over 1,000 products, and though I want to look at everything, having to click on 70+ pages deters me. Scrolling makes scanning the products fast and easy, so if I could chose 100 or even 50 products per page, I'd be a happy camper!

I think the three lines is a bit short as well, but I also know for a sad fact that many customers don't read the announcement. Some don't even read the listing they are purchasing! So I have to admit the focus should be on the photos of our items. Overall, the new design is great. Thanks Etsy!

It looks so pretty! Can't wait for mine to look like that :)

Not in favor of the shop announcement being chopped up...that is where I post important info (when my shop is open and I'm away) like specials and discounts. Now that won't get noticed at all. Going to have to have several banners for it now just to be seen. Liked the list on the right.. but not big of a deal I guess. How about batch editing and the other features we really need as sellers? Any work being done on those?

Wow it's beeeaaautiful! Im excited to see it in action ^_^

The new design looks cool! We're looking forward to it. It would be nice if the shop owner could decide how much of the info to show. At the moment we think, we're fine with the "show more" button.

What we miss is the "Favourites" button. It's always fun to see what a shop owner likes. We've no statistics for it, but we could imagine, that this button sometimes brings us some new views.

looks great everyone, although i keep clicking my cart to access my shop, still. haha

Love more viewing more sale items. Do not like shorter announcement. Too limited for sales, discounts, etc.. New layout Resembles eBay. Why copy when you have a unique product?

Thank you for allowing 4 items to be Featured! I appreciate you so much Etsy! You're my dream come true :) heart, Sunshine Feather Earrings and lots of Glamorous Accessories~ Feathers = FUN! ;)

I have a 19" square monitor -choosing square because I like to design graphics on a square rather than a wide screen. With the new format, I am having to scroll so the left side choices are only half way there. Scrolling is always annoying to me. Shopping will not be as fun anymore. Also, I agree with others who have said we like "hearting" rather than "favoriting".

That's great! Wider pagers are better for us :o)

I'm really excited about having larger gallery images. I think that's going to make a sizable difference in sales. Thank you!

GREAT! Love the new look!

Looks great! I love it!

This will be such a benefit to so many shops with more items above the fold and in the featured items section. Thank you!

Looks great! Can't wait to explore the new features!

Can't wait to see the new look!

Love the idea of the larger pics!

awesome! can't wait for the new look...

I am very pleased that the images will be larger. The new format is much more pleasing to the eye, so shoppers will linger longer.

Looks great. Definately time to brighten up my shop! Well done everyone. x

i like this improvement a lot!!

This is a fantastic idea, as much as you can cram a lot more into one page, it still looks appealing and sleek. Goods stuff Etsy.

Personally, I like things the way they are and don't want them to change but obviously that doesn't matter. Would have been nice to have had some sort of vote on it or something. And if anyone objects to that opinion - NYEH!

Love the new larger images. Can't wait to see how it works.

This is going to be great, just hope it happens soon. Good job etsy gurus...

good to know!

I can't wait to be surprised one day with wider pages....

I like the new design

i like the new look !:)

From a Buyer's Point of view: The navigation on the left side hides a part of the items page more towards the right. It's a bit inconvenient to scroll on the right in order to see the listings "Read more" in the shop announcemnet totally works fine as sometimes there's so much information to scroll down to before we can see the actual items. I second the opinion about "Hearting" instead of "Favourites". It gives a personal touch. We favourite so many things but we heart just a few, isn't that true? Yeah! for allowing more space for featured items and 4 items on each row AND 24 items on each page. That's simply gr8.

Love the bigger pictures and wider layout! But the links seems kind of lost for some reason. They seem to get swallowed up and I don't know if I wasn't looking for them if I'd notice them.

I am so excite. can˙t wait!

I hope I see wider pages in my shop soon. :)

Supper!

Mine just updated! I love love it. :)

GREAT! Can't wait : )

Oh, no. I was hoping the new display format was an accident or at least something that could be changed back in preferences. I *hate* wide-format pages. The new look is much harder to scan for me, and browsing shops has suddenly become much less appealing. Also, for something someone *might* actually consider fixing, the number of items listed in a shop seems to have been lost or at least made much less conspicuous.

yay! super excited.

Cool!

Excitement!!!!!

It´s wonderful! We love it!!! :-) :-)

Love the new look!

how exciting! i can't wait.

Ooo! My shop just changed over. I think I like it. How exciting. Think I will have to change the shop announcement, though...

Good Job

Not really into it. I guess I'm just a creature of habit... I'd rather the side bar be back on the right. I'm also concerned that most people won't read my shop announcements and make errors when ordering or not be as well informed.

I just love It!! It's absolutely beautiful to look at! Thank you!

lol GollyBard's getting a lot of publicity. Great design though, hope it gets working fast :D

What a sophisticated new look! I'm looking forward to seeing it implemented :) xo, WHP www.walterhelenaphotography.blogspot.com

I am sooo excited for this!!!! I think it looks great!

yay!!! Can my shop go wide soon? Please??? :)

I am seeing the new wider pages. I am overall happy with one exception; I don't like that folks now have to click to open the shop announcement. They will most likely not do so (I wouldn't want to) and will not get the information that I see as most important and want visitors to see. ETSY - PLEASE CHANGE THIS FEATURE!

I think I like the wider layout . . . more room for gallery photos. I would like, however, to see the shop info, i.e, Shop Section, Shop Owner, etc., back in the right column. Does not seem to flow as nicely. Thank you!

Love the wider layout! Thanks Etsy!

Woah! Mine is beautiful!! Love love love love. I would like to *slightly* more shop info. But I also like that I won't have to scroll past huge shop announcements anymore.

I like the layout on the FP especially for the picks by a certain seller with their banner. Love this feature. ♥

I love the new changes and can't wait to see them! :)

I can't wait! looks great!

WOWEE, WOW, WOW!!! I really do love the new layout! Especially since our customers won't have to go to a new page to read the rest of our shop announcements. (Clicking to "read more..." opens a dialogue page on top of the store. GENIUS!!!) Now, if only Etsy could make the Shop Announcement creation box bigger so that we could see what we have typed BEFORE SAVING IT, then that would be fantastic! Keep up the great work, guys!!!

Three lines is not enough for a shop announcement, we should have the choice to show our full shop announcement. I really do prefer links to be on the right, this reminds me too much of Ebay, perhaps I will get used to it. Where did the Favourites link go, which let you see a members favourites? I enjoy looking at other's favourites/hearts. Will the wider pages mak it so people have to scroll left to right to see everything, I hope not, as that is time consuming and irritating.

It seems that the people of Etsy keep changing things that don't need to be addressed vs those that really do. The site reminds me so much of Ebay now that it's lost some of its charm

Lovely items :)

(*rabbit bounces up and down*) I think it looks fabulous! The larger view of our items really makes them PoP off the screen. No more scrunchy eyes trying to see it. Also, having smaller announcements makes the shops look cleaner and more streamlined. Too much text can tend to look cluttered and I usually just exit. Can't wait to see it!!

John and Yoko look better bigger!

Gimme gimme!!!

Over all change is amazing!!! Thank you for the hard work!!! I do have one more wish though, is there any way you can add a button for a pdf file viewing? I'm selling wedding stationary items that have many variable and pricing. It would be rally nice if I can up load a pdf brochure for potencial buyer to view.

Thanks for all your hard work! I cant wait to see the new look.

For the most part, it looks fine to me, and like any change, it will just take some getting used to, but aside from the compacted shop announcement (I too like paragraphs), one thing I noticed was the "opened on" date. I know it says "joined" on the older one, but I actually opened my shop about a year and a half after I joined Etsy as a buyer. It may be an ego thing, but it kind of makes it seem like I have been selling all that time. It would be nice if that were changed back to joined or more accurate to the store's opening. If I had a thousand sales I might feel differently, but it bothers me a little.

Looks awesome!

Wicked good show; the feel is both professional and modern.

Oh, the change is fine for the most part. I agree that it will take some getting used to, I liked the links to the right and am used to them. I am right handed and I have the feeling that the change has been made for left-handed people. Oh, I am just joking! (It is great, that's how most shopping pages are, with the links to the left!) It is just a little strange! Thank you all for your continuous improvements, you are all amazing!

Love the "read more" feature in the announcement. Now you can have a long announcement, but not have it ruin your first impression.

I like the wider page with more images per page. What happened to the Favorites? I too like to see what other shop owners like and I have found many items I wouldn't have found by seeing what others favorite. I also feel the shop announcement should have a few more lines, although I'm not a fan of shops that I have to scroll down forever because they have so much in there announcements. I tend to not read long wordy announcements.

Looks great!

oh no! I agree with allisonbook, it's too ordinary, and i don't think it's more efficient or more practical. It seems there is no hierarchy between different informations/links, it seems disordered. The grey background was clearer. However, wider shop is great and smaller shop announcment is ok.

I can't wait until it is site wide! More images per page is a great idea.

can't wait!!!!!

and i hope you'll homogenize different pages because it's a real mess : when you are on the shop, the links are on the left but when you click on an item, it's still on the right side. It's not coherent or ergonomic at all! It reminds me an european website (an etsy competitor) which is really a mess and a real brain-teaser to surf on. If etsy tends to look like this website, i think it's a big mistake because etsy was great so far because it was beautiful and ergonomic... Please don't ruin everything!

Hi, I just would like to thank you for new Etsy shop design. I loved it. Today, I have an excellent and great daily morning opening with my smiling and rich shop. Great job! Thank you so much for everyone of Etsy team.

Super!

Looks good - would prefer if a bigger shop announcement area (with paragraph breaks) was visible though.

great! thanks for the update!

can hardly wait ....!

A wonderful improvement. Can't wait!

Yesterday I saw my new shop page!! I like a lot, especially because the pictures are bigger and it invites visitors to open the images, thanks to Etsy team!!, always with new ideas.

The new changes look Great! Thanks

this is going to be good...

i like the idea of condensing the top of the shop, but i kind of wish the words stayed on the right hand side. or maybe if we had the option to update?... otherwise it looks really streamlined and nice. thanks for the updates.

I absolutely love the new look! Thanks so much :)

It looks great

I have the new look, I love it.

What happened to 'favorites'? I liked how it was on the top of the page before.

As an Etsy Shop Owner for over 5 years, I'm impressed by the dedication to make things better for both Sellers + Shoppers. Overall I like the new look, however I would like to see some things edited before the actual launch: 1. See Who Favorites is awkwardly worded + confusing 2. Shop Banner is oddly positioned, as it is now connected to the new Shop Announcement box underneath 3. Shop Announcement being cut down is fine, but could be better emphasized with a Read More button instead of hovering over the box 4. Shop Name + Shop Title could be shifted to the sidebar, giving the Shop Banner more room to expand 5. The Heart Icon might be confusing, but could be understood with a simple line of hover text Other than that, I like what I see + am excited for future changes on Etsy. Keep up the great work!

Don't like it. We had to rewrite the shop announcement to make the most of SEO, and now the stuff we want people to read when they come to our shop page, like sale announcements, isn't visable. It's also driving me crazy that sometimes I see the old page and sometimes the new page depending upon where I log in from (home or work). Eileen...

I agree that three lines is insufficient for the shop announcement. Read more notice is essential. Buyers don't bother to read shop info for the most part and three lines will make it that much easier for them to skip. Not sure if this is an improvement or not. The genuine improvement that's necessary is to add Google Checkout to the Etsy Checkout. An alternative online payment choice integrated into system would be the greatest upgrade yet.

This new layout looks great. I love it. Sure, there will be things to get used to, but thank you for always coming up with better ways of doing things. :)

so cool.can't wait to see :))

I have a couple comments: 1) The first thing I noticed was my shop name being cut off under 'shop owner' on the left side. Because it does not quite fit in the column spacing, my last letter (o) falls to the next line. If this could be adjusted so the last word falls below that would be so much better. This is something I really hope you fix. It looks really sloppy the way it is. 2) Visually, the new page layout looks a little off, not sure what it is - but definitely, the shop announcements should allow for spaces and should not allow all lines of text to run together. That does not look good or allow for easy user readability. 3) Four columns are nice for showing off more items at the top, but three always looks visually better than four. I don't like all the space below the gallery shots between each column of information (between views, date, price) - seems too spacious.

Looks great! I can't wait! Thanks for your work!

Thank you, mine PoPpEd today and I love it!

I am in agreement with the shop announcement being cut too short. I take pride in what is written there & I wrote it for potential buyers, you know like a sales pitch. It also gives them information about what you sell & why. Also when I have a sale, I usually type the information for the sale at the bottom so the potential buyers can read my shop announcement first. Some people do not like to read the shop announcement & that is okay, but I would personally rather read it all at once than click a 'read more' button. The page being wider & the pictures jumping out at you is nice, but our stories should also jump out as well, because that is the importance behind our shops! We should be able to edit our shops to look like whatever we want- in the announcement & profile especially.

Thanks for the update!

I agree with the shop announcement space that you see being too short. This will force us to put the important sales info first, to make sure buyers will definately see it, rather than putting some nice personal welcome first, which I (and many others) would really prefer!

The new page looks nice, but upon further inspection, I agree with many of the others wary of change.

I do NOT like the new design. I do NOT like the length of the shop accouncement. I wish that shop owners could make a choice whether they would like to change or keep the old design.

Question about new changes or maybe I should say problem. My shop has changes to the new style. OK. But where it say 'shop owner' it should say: "RichardMartin Pottery" but what is shown is: "RichardMartinPotter y" The y in pottery is on it's own line and now looks like a 'type-o'. What is the fix for this or do I have to get a new shop name? Or??? I am sure that I won't be the only one using the 20 characters allowed for the name. Please help.....

Nice Upgrade!

I LOVE the wider format but would prefer the sections/info column stay on the right side.

hooray!

I love the wide page view and more featured items but I don't like that everything is on the left now (seem awkward to me) and that you now have to click to see your full shop annoucement. My announcement, I'm sure like most sellers, is full of info about items in my shop and such and I have a feeling that people won't want to take the time to open the link to see the full shop annoucement. I also like hearts better than favorites - much more Etsy to me:)

i'm not digging the new shop announcement layout - because i can't insert line breaks on what is seen on the main page. also i like hearts more than favorites :) but the wider width is great.

Really disappointed in this change to the shop pages. It doesn't look as neatly and thoughtfully ordered as it used to. I'm trained as a graphic designer and I can't help but have issues with the shop announcement tucking awkwardly under and against the shop banner (and will have to come up with a new way to take advantage of a REALLY limited space now with my message because I know half of users won't bother to read the full thing...) and the spacing just looks off on the left navigation column, or maybe it's just so white that nothing really jumps out as distinct. I love that Etsy adapts to user requests (I've been selling since 2006), but lately I'm feeling like there are just constant changes, and a lot of them seem arbitrary.

Have to put my tuppence worth in: 1. I don't like the navigation columns move to the left - especially as it's still on the right on all other pages. Confusing to anyone new to Etsy. 2. Shortened shop announcement - agree I don't think people will "read more" and I too find the way the grey box is joined to the shop banner a little ugly. Not a word I'd ever associate with anything Etsy!! 3. Agree with the important difference between "opened" and "joined"! 4. Can't see anyone else mentioning this but does anybody else think their IMAGES NOW LOOK OUT OF FOCUS? My images are dead sharp on the full page listing but now appear poor quality on the thumbnail. HELP?!

Love the new page! I went on this morning to check sales and then tonight to a wonderful wider format! Thank you, it looks great! Keep up the great innovative work you do!

So, how do i fix "My Etsy" tab on facebook? The pics are overlapping and it looks grainy (unlike how my actual etsy shop looks).

Really don't like this. I appreciate the width change, but first you changed where all the sign in/out/favourites buttons are up at the top and then you start messing with the shop--with no opt out? No thanks. The new column is not as easy to use and frankly strange on the left, when individual listings still are on the right. The grey was easier to see, as well--with the all-white the page looks more cluttered and I'm much less likely to pay any attention to ANY of the words because of it.

I like the 4 featured across the top... wider shop.. nice. BUT... like so many others, I really do not like that the shop announcement is cut off. My gut instinct is to NOT hit the "read more" button. I really utilize the shop announcement for important news/updates. I can't go through and change everything single listing each time I have something come up unexpectedly. I also don't like the gray box on the left with the shop title. It just looks untidy for some reason. I'm an NOT a graphic designer, but something about it is not visually appealing and makes the whole shop look a little cheap. No offense! I'm not an expert... just typing my thoughts as they come to me. ETSY: Please bring back the full shop announcement... no more "read more".... pretty please!!

Personally, I go to Etsy mostly to read shop announcements. Now you've got all these handmade and vintage things messing up the page. Please bring back the really, really long shop announcements where you have to (I mean, get to) scroll down three page lengths before being interrupted by pesky products! In leu of returning to the tried and true, perhaps you could make the gray announcement box flush with the four column width. That is a little sloppy looking. THANKS ETSY!

you know what they say....opinions are like [blank] and everyone has one!!!!! most people have a hard time with change.... my "opinion" is that if someone is interested in purchasing your artwork...they WILL open the box to read more. personally i like it and have faith in the folks at etsy making things better for us all!!!!!

I love it! I really dislike long shop announcements. They get in the way of browsing the products. This is much nicer and I love the wide page. Great job!

I like the wider format and larger photos. A couple of requests/suggestions: 1.PLEASE, Please bring back the term hearts, instead of favorites. 2 and a half years ago when I joined I was confused by this for all of 30 seconds, then I fell in love with it as one of the unique things about Etsy. It makes us seem so much more generic to have favorites. (Besides are you going to put it as favourites on pages that have their location in Europe?) 2.Speaking of location. It's gone. As a buyer it is very important to me to be able to see where things are coming from. Can you please put it back? 3.I agree that I would much rather have the navigation tabs still on the right. It just feels and looks better. 4.From a design prospective the page needs a small amount of white between the banner and the announcement box. Having them joined is just a little awkward. Thank you for all the hard work you put into the site and that I know you are reading out concerns and listening to us!

Really confusing look. The move of information from the right to the left is kind of nauseating when having to go back and forth between screens. The screen looks like it is on a "wordwrap" there doesn't seem to be much definition of space, it just doesn't look "clean" to me. I am overall unhappy with the change. :(

Please, please, please extend the announcement section. The first part of the announcement is what shows up on Google, so I need to keep it kinda generic, but I put IMPORTANT seasonal information in the announcement, and now it is hidden. I know that most customers will not take the time to click on the "read more" button, and I do not like it in a "pop up" when you do! This will really impact the functionality of my shop! Otherwise, I love the 4 column layout, but "hearts" were unique and I miss them!

I really don't like the new layout :( The shop announcements are cut off. I need my customers to see that information without having to look for it. The menu was better on the right, and as far as the wide listing... it just looks like a lot of wasted space to me. It looks just the same as when you're using the search function. Once you've selected a specific shop, the look should change, and be visually distinct from the search pages. I'm sorry, not a fan.

Shop announcement is TOO SMALL. Impossible to define store, philosophy and announce sales. What is not seen is not read. Also info on left for right handers is awkward,right is more natural-and this is coming from a leftie who works rightie.

I love it!

The Announcement box looks terrible! It doesn't visually align with the rest of the layout! Its width and alignment looks really awkward to me (almost as if it was some sort of CSS error!) I reckon the announcement box should be made the same width as the banner, and there should be a 10-20px gap between it and the banner!

Do not like what you've done to Etsy's pages. Too too large. Left brained. No "give" for right brains. Cannot view on smaller, older monitors. Consider changing back please. Thanks.

p.s. The new look Makes us nauseated. Makes us want to quit. Consider this. thanks

Ps. I think the new design looks really shouts "commercial corporation".. so much for handmade indie goodness! lol

It looks so "beta"...as though this is the first untried, generic look of a new site. The all white background makes everything blend together, looks cheap and very unoriginal - something Etsy certainly is NOT :) The banner with the shop announcent seems so much smaller and "Blah!"...less welcoming, less personal, and less individual for each shop. I really enjoyed the original layout. I loved the creativity that people put into their banners and shop announcements. Yes, some of the announcements went on FOREVER, but i think that's part of being a good shop owner. I liked having the CHOICE. I liked having my "Welcome" and then the option to post a current sale where it could be seen immediately upon entering my shop. The overall look seems so much more impersonal and commercial now....not the friendly, creative, WELCOMING look i've grown to love so much....

1. Please bring back the old shop announcement size! And if you don't, and we only get 3 lines, remove the word "announcement" (it isn't needed and it just takes up valuable space.) 2. Please bring back location to the main page

Oh cobblers! I was really looking forward to these changes but find myself very disapointed and more than a little concerned. I agree with tuwhittuwhoo about the images appearing less sharp than usual in the thumbnails. That's going to be incredibly bad for sales. Also no one else seams to have mentioned this but my biggest concern is the images being cropped differntly. All my images have been specifically edited to appear to there best advantage, this new layout seams to have changed this and my pics now look awful. This will definately effect the likelyhood of my work being picked for a treasury. When etsy places so much emphasis on the quality of images, I can't understand why this formatting would be changed. Bigger images is great but not at the expense of the quality of the image. It looks like they've been zoomed in on and the subsequent cropping of the individual images has ruined them. I'm now going to have to re edit all my product pictures and upload them on all 65 of my products. You also really need to sort out the mess at the top of the page, the banner needs to be seperated from the shop announcement. And the full shop announcement needs to be re-instated. Again what on earth were you thinking? I absolutely love Etsy I really do! I wish I could be more positive, but on this occassion I can't see any change for the good. Just a lot of extra work on my part. It all seems very de-personalised to me.

I love the new look, big pictures are very nice and helpful for my collection. Thank you:)

The update is hitting a lot of sweet notes, but there are some sour ones that need addressing: • Let us make hyperlinks! • I understand why sellers haven't been given the ability to customize things like font, text size, color, etc, but why why why has it never been made an option to add simple html links? There are several places and instances where this would make sense, but this update has thrust the importance of this feature back into the forefront of my mind. Now, even though I have a linkification plugin for my browser, I can't click the ever-important FAQ link in my shop announcement. Even worse, I can't simply select it to copy/paste into my navbar -- clicking the announcement opens the pop up "read more" window, even though I've butchered my announcement down to one teensy line to fit within the tight new cutoff restraints. Shoppers can now only access my link by clicking the announcement, getting a surprise pop-up window, and then copy/pasting from there. Horribly, horribly inefficient! (And besides, it looks sloppy and outdated to have full URLs splayed out all over the place.) • Let us format how our shop name displays! • I hate to bring up the other big E, but... even Ebay has this option. My business name is Ohmeohmy Design, but my username is "ohmeohmydesign" since usernames aren't space-compatible. Given the limitations inherent in username creation, I have never understood why it was assumed that the format of the handle was how the business name was to be displayed on the site. There needs to be a distinct split between username and shop name, and how they are presented to shoppers. (This is particularly noticeable since the first thing in my sidebar is a terribly awkward-looking bolded handle on top of an otherwise coherently-formatted shop description.) • Make announcement truncation an option, not a requirement. • I think it's great to give sellers a "read more" option, but as many others have said, a universal three-line limit is way too severe. Those who have posted before me have covered the importance of this change very well, so I'll simply echo the sentiment that sellers deserve more options for the way their shop is presented than they are currently given. • Rework announcement truncation implementation. • On top of the lack of space provided, the truncation of the announcement completely removes any existing formatting (namely paragraph breaks) unless the "read more" option is expanded. It looks awful and severely limits what kind of announcement a shop can have without looking sloppy due to poor site construction. Also, the fact that the announcement is now attached to and almost the exact height of the banner makes the whole thing look very ill-defined and bland. Adding a bit of white space between the banner and the announcement would give the whole top part of the shop breathing room. (As a side note, I don't think the narrower width of the announcement box would look nearly so awkward if it wasn't squished up into the banner.) Balance it out. • Bring back the personality. • This is definitely more of a personal preference than an overall functionality critique, but I'm really going to miss "hearts" and the other quirky verbiage touches around the shop page. I love that you're looking to clean up the aesthetics of the site, but don't sterilize the playful voice of the venue in the process! There are a few more issues I'd like to touch on, but I think that's probably enough for starters. :) I'll be anxious to see how you guys respond to this outpouring of feedback from your sellers!

I like the wider page - more to see w/o having to click, etc. However, the featured items seem a little out of proportion with the rest of the listings - I even looked to see if you all had added another slot for a 4th image. I think it would look better if the top row of images lined up with the rest. Does that make sense?? In other words, 4 featured in line with the 4 rows of what's for sale. Also, I do not like the shop announcement change. I had several one sentence paragraphs to make it easy to quickly read and now all my sentences are bunched together in one paragraph. I like more space btw the brief announcements I want my shoppers to read, and I think it's easier to read several small paragraphs rather than one longer one that looks like copy. Thanks for looking out for us sellers and continually striving to improve the shopping experience. I really appreciate it! Mary Grace

I love the new wider shop look, but I don't like that you have to click "read more" to see more info in the shop announcements. It doesn't show any sort of styling done unless you click read more. I like the look overall..but hopefully there will be a few additional tweeks here and there.

I like the new layout. See all the items at once in a larger format looks greats! Thank you;0)

grey background is much much better! there is still something wrong with the shop announcement, i don't like it being smaller than the banner. Location is missing, it's a shame! Bon courage!

heart-ing IS better, me thinks.....sweeter...in a way, that is etsy funny how we have turned the words heart and friend into verbs....

I'm a little panicked and feel the need to reiterate what many others have said. My images look terrible!! Pixelated and cropped...And since what i'm selling is the image itself i'm worried. I went back to try and tweak them in PhotoShop, but they still look different once posted. Plese, please, please!!! Fix this!!

I'd really like it if etsy brought back the ability to insert formatting (line breaks) in the shop announcement that is seen on the store front. (also it seems there is missing a break of white between the shop banner and the gray background of the announcement)

Love it!!

Ok, things I miss or want to see changed: 1. HEARTS (I LOVE the 'heart' option), "See who favorites this shop" sounds like it is mis-typed! 2. wider shop announcement - to match the banner and the items listed 3. line breaks - in the announcement 4. larger size - I liked it longer, maybe a 10 line max instead of 3?? 3. LOCATION back on the first page! I like to know where people are located easily without having the do a search under shop local. 4. My Etsy looking amazing on facebook (It look very sloppy now - photos overlap and look grainy) 5. liked the gray background 6. the switch from left side to right side when going from 1st page to items... Things I love: 1. more photos on 1st page 2. ability to switch between list and photo format to view items

I crop all of my photos the same way. I use this ratio (155 x 125) for the gallery photos and this ratio (75 x 75) for the other four photos in my listings. This has always worked for me. Now when I look at my listings in the wider format (not the gallery page) my main listing photos are randomly cropping shorter. Please see links. I cropped these photos exactly the same when I listed them and they are fairly recent listings so I am positive! Bad crop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/53152497/pyrite-and-citrine-with-black-spinel Good crop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/52483982/blue-chalcedony-with-oxidized-sterling I guess I need to go in and crop every photo using the square ratio but I'm afraid that this is just some weird Etsy thing that will change again. Am I the only one with this problem?

I do enjoy the new shop look, overall nice redesign. But when you click on an item the side bar now switches from right (on the shop home) to the left (on items) Pick a side and stick with it, major design deduction points for that. I did like seeing in one glance people's Location also. Your hard work is greatly appreciated on our end!

Unfortunately I added a new item today. Until now it was not possible to see the picture. I try several time to fix it. It wasn"t possible. http://www.etsy.com/listing/54123508/helios-fireopal-earrings Etsy should better inform the shop owner in advance about sever technical chances.

@tuwhittuwhoo my images are fine, I love the look, reading through all these comments to find out what (if any) real glitches are. same thing drives me nuts (and its no huge deal)I changed my avatar this morning, hours ago, and its still my old one, aaaaaaaaa Love the new look don't love the shortened shop announcements

Really love it!

please please PLEASE bring back the normal shop announcement... its so crucial for MANY of us clothing designers to have information on this shop announcement page. overall, i'm pleased with the new look (although its no fun as a seller to get used to), but just this one change is not good for me. I just would REALLY like the 'shop announcement' section brought back! Its super important for my shop to have that information on there and I'm afraid people arent going to read the whole thing if they have to click another button. I dont see the harm in having that section back... people that dont want all the info there can simply type shorter shop announcements, but for those of us that NEED the info there for the success of our business, PLEASE BRING IT BACK! Thanks :)

LOVE that we can now see how many views each item has gotten (without clicking on its page and scrolling down to check)! also love the bigger profile photo, and the bigger item photos. I like the bigger bold green text, too. I don't mind the new shop announcement as when u click to read more it opens into its own little floating box, which I think looks really cool! what still confuses me is having both a Profile and a Shop Announcement. as a shopper, I notice a lot of people just leave 1 blank which is annoying as u click around. I think there should only be a Profile, and the Shop Announcement should be changed to a one liner like "Sale Now!" or "New Marcasite Necklaces!" or something very short.

also, I wanted to agree with the previous poster who mentioned the new "shop opened" is not truly accurate. it used to say "joined etsy" on this date. like her, I joined etsy long before I opened my shop. at first I was just buying supplies on etsy with the idea of opening a shop, but then I procrastinated for 1 1/2 years! so it now says "shop opened in April, 2008" when really I didn't start listing items for sale until January, 2010. this is a problem because just below this it lists your sale numbers. so it looks like I've only sold 14 items in over 2 years, when really I've sold 14 items in 8 months. I wish etsy could just check the date when we actually posted photos/items for sale and use that.

Love it! It's so clean and well organized! I have a suggestion/question: Is there anyway we could get the Shop Announcement to show it's entirety? I personally prefer to have my entire Shop Announcement visible instead of the new way. Thanks!

I felt LOST while viewing my shop, and got tired of scrolling from left to right to see the pics. I also like knowing the location of shops without having to search for it. Sorry, wished I had only positive things to say. I do appreciate the time and effort that went into this though!

The new shop page looks god but... Is there a way to revert to the previous Shop Page format - before 08/17/2010? As is, there are 38 lines of important information hidden on my Shop Page, and only available by clicking an extra link ("...read more"). Very likely, many prospective buyers will not click the link, and miss out on information which could determine whether they make a purchase or go elsewhere. Anticipating your advice to place the "important" info in my "Policies" section... I would rather have that info on the main page instead of having to click additional links for information the customer may not be aware is important to his/her buying decision. Thank you

It's not you - it's me!!! I've been assured that the scrolling left to right is an operator problem, sorry about that. I would like to say again that knowing where shops are located is important. And, it just feels better getting hearts! But, "you can't always get what you want...you get what you need." The larger pictures are great!

As a naturally meticulous Virgo, I think we looked like classy little e-boutiques before, and now we look like bargain basements -- empty space is important to accent the pictures and not create visual clutter. We'll see what our future sales figures have to say about this.

I like the wider shop but I wish the announcement was as before. It won't make paragraphs and my information is all squished together. I don't like the "announcement" word in front of my information. Maybe instead of "read more" you could have a word limit. I have always wished that the shop owner could change the font on that announcement. It should be a secondary heading after the banner, bold and fun, hence the word, announcement.

I am copying and pasting razmama's comment because I agree and couldn't have said it better. "Ok, things I miss or want to see changed: 1. HEARTS (I LOVE the 'heart' option), "See who favorites this shop" sounds like it is mis-typed! 2. wider shop announcement - to match the banner and the items listed 3. line breaks - in the announcement 4. larger size - I liked it longer, maybe a 10 line max instead of 3?? 3.

many thanks! and my comments on these changes - I like to see the Location of the seller, please reinstate this and - please change the Shop Opened back to Joined Etsy (I opened my shop 6 months after joining and if you look at my first sale the dates just don't add up, makes my shop look like I've not been able to sell a thing for 6 months!) and - I liked the longer shop announcement - Very Important - because it's our shop display window with Point of Sale info for browsing customers and I make all my important announcements there, as well as my unique selling points to entice customers in thank you for the other changes, hoping you can reinstate these old ones (not all change is good :)

Thanks. My page is utterly screwed up now. You want to come over and FIX IT???

Love it! Thanks so much!

Overall, these changes are good! But, I really agree with Rural Memories! What she (he?) said!!! Especially the UTTERLY MADDENING 3 unformat-able lines of useless text in the "shop announcement". I spent 2 hours yesterday futzing with dots and stars and spaces and any gimmick I could think of to try and control the appearance of those lines of text! I finally gave up. If you write regular sentences they seem weird and small and distracting to one's big bold banner (and like RM said, they aren't as wide, which looks like the shop made a mistake in shop code or setup). But if you try to use selective phrases--in Paper Demon's case, "Blends the Organic and the Chic"--there's no good way to center it on the page or control its location.... To be clear: I think it's a good change to have a short announcement space! I think having fewer words before photos is great! However, if it's going to be short, then sellers should have the ability to make it *just right* It's our shop identity, after all! Thanks.

LOVE THE NEW PAGE. It's so easy to see each seller's item. great job!

I really love the new look on my shop!

THESE IMPROVEMENTS ARE THE BEST THING SINCE GUITAR WENT ELECTRIC. ROCK ON, ETSY STAFF AND IT GURUS. XO MNHabit

Great Change. Love the new design!

Etsy just keeps getting better and better! Excellent work! I appreciate it greatly!

Okay, this new design has moved me to finally post a comment. I feel compelled, as a CONSUMER of products from Etsy shops to voice my opinions about how this affecting my shopping experience. I usually like to write and give props--especially when I know a lot of work went into something so I feel a little bad about this. Also, I know when a big change like this has been made, it's pretty futile to express your opinion because it's pretty much a done deal...but...here's hoping that that maybe we can at least have a "revert to older version" button inserted on the top of the page. :) Anyway...here are reasons why I really want that button: When I discovered Etsy, I instantly fell in love. I fell in love with the idea of shopping directly from the person making the product. I loved the forum that Etsy provided to support "Un-massed produced" items. I loved the "cleaness" of the Etsy layout and the ease in which I could navigate the website. I loved that as you clicked on each shop, it exuded its own personality. I loved the way that Etsy made you feel that you were shopping in a "boutique" or specialty shop of sorts and that each item could be highlighted like a work or art/special piece. I have to say, when I opened up Etsy today and saw the new design, I thought something had gone wrong with my computer. I mean I noticed that recently, Etsy had been making changes here and there. Honestly, I haven't cared for most of them. For example, why in the heck did "Sign in" and "Favorites" change places? Seems less logical the way it is now. Usually "sign in" stands apart so we can click on it quickly and sign in. "Favorites" made sense when it was clustered with other Etsy functions. While these "little changes" were annoying (yes, even the one where the look of the site layout changed slightly), I know that change is inevitable and told myself to just reprogram" myself to get used to these "little" annoyances. In time, I would get used to them. BUT, when I got on to Etsy today...WHOA!!! Can I just say: EYE SORE!!! I don't even want to shop in the shops right now. The store fronts are messy, cluttered, and put me into sensory overload. I know many out there are saying "get used to change." But, the change with the new layout is not just change with minor things. To me, it's like changing the whole feel of the shopping experience on Etsy. There is a reason I was drawn to Etsy over other sites. Now it's looking more and more like the busy "bargain basement" sites (as someone else put it). I feel like I'm shopping on Ebay or being forced to look at a Facebook page. I don't like mall shopping, I don't like crowds, and wow, now I feel like that's what Etsy is. There is no personality coming out of each shop anymore. It's just like a bunch of stuff blaring out at me through my computer with a whole bunch of other random text getting in the way. Rather than having certain featured items pop out at you or having the items pop out at you, it's like EVERYTHING pops out at you and is "in YO' FACE!" I think there was a color change as well. It's just stuff now. Why, oh why did you change the info to the left? Our eyes usually go from left to right. Now I see busy stuff on the left and then bigger busy stuff as I move right. The old layout seemed to highlight the products much better. Your eyes saw that first, then if you were interested in learning more, you looked at the right side column. Now I have to go left (bleh busy), to right (what the heck is all that stuff there?), and then back to left if I want to know more about the shop. While this might seem like a little thing to just get used to, it really just changes the whole look of the screen and creates a lot of unnecessary back and forth of the eyes. Also, as I view my items in "list" mode, it just seems like so much stuff to gloss over. Even if you had to keep everything, could the price be the first thing we see, then followed by date posted and then number of times the item was viewed? (cont. on next comment)...

...(cont. from previous comment) Wow...bring back the Shop Announcements in full. I actually read the "Shop Announcements" because many of the shops I frequent listed important information, shop specials, heads up on vacation, etc. No, I don't want to click on read more to get the full story. Many people don't like to click around to find the info they need for the shop. It's a pain in the butt and again, for me, so messy. I thought shop owners did a very good job at succinctly typing in what they needed in the shop announcements. It also gave the shop a personal feel. Like a little welcome as I entered the store. With the new layout, I didn't even realize they were still there until I read the forum. They just blend into a mush of stuff on the page now. When I finally realized they were still there, they reminded me of the little hazard warnings that are required on certain products, but that people don't usually don't notice unless they are specifically looking for it. I'd prefer that the shop announcements running the same length of the banners were brought back with the option of making them SHORTER if the shopper doesn't want to see them. Or heck, just bring it back like it was. Really. This was something that I used in the shopping experience. I really liked the three images across the page. I know that for awhile it's been 4, and shops can now have more items highlighted, but something more aesthetically appealing to the 3. Like someone mentioned earlier...it seems so left brained now. I thought Etsy had such a great balance of left and right brain. Now...ugh...way off balance. So corporate. On a lesser note...I really liked the see who "hearts" this. The favorites seems a bit odd. Okay...I could go on and on...but I will end with this. I used to be able to browse through Etsy for hours. Now, it's a headache to just get in there and get what I need. It used to be a peaceful, fun experience. I preferred Etsy over Artfire and Ebay and other on-line shops because of it's simpleness and ease of use--not now it's joined the masses. *sigh* Does everything in life have to be like Facebook? So yeah, if there were at least a "revert to old format" button that would be wonderful! :) If not, I can see that my Etsy shopping hours will be seriously limited. Which, may not be such a bad thing! ;)

I do like that I can easily rearrange the items in my shop now. We shall see if that improves sales!

Wongette-Perfectly said!!! I've had a problem with eyelid twitching for several days, seriously. I did a little research on-line, and found that one of the causes could be eye strain...wonder if there is a connection there??? :)

I'm hoping that admin are taking in all these points - inparticular the lack of formatting on the shop announcement and I hope it is brought back. I liked all the comments Wongette made, they are all relevant and I agree with her completely in all of them. It IS alot of hard work to go from left to right and then back to left - it is just not 'user friendly' any more. The more I look at my new store the less I like the way these changes have been made. I liked the old etsy with it's small compactness. How about you leave the FP as it is and when someone enters our shops they get the small format like before? Like Wongette said - it was online boutique shopping - not ebay or walmart shopping.

I am not big into change but I will get used to the new look. I biggest complaint about the change is the header. I have links to my other etsy shops in my shop anouncement. I get allot of cross over business. with the new layout there are no hot links unless some one clicks on the "read more". If I move my links to my other shops to the top of my anouncement..the are not hot linked. Very dissapointed!!!!

OK folks...Lets be realistic about the new page. There have been a lot of negative comments about the chopped off information on the Shop Page - enough that (I think) the powers that be should be seriously thinking about reverting to the unlimited space for announcements instead of having to click on "...read more" Or, at least give sellers the option to use the old format. We've heard from 480-some buyers & sellers regarding the new design. How about some reaction comments from the Etsy staff, especially those making the decisions about the design??? We'd like to know your thoughts in light of all the comments posted here! Do our comments mean something, or are we just banging our heads against the wall? Are these blogs and the ability to let our feelings be known a waste of time? Let's hear from Etsy!

Please?

If you don't have "My Etsy" tab on facebook, check out mine to see what it looks like now: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Merritt-Island-FL/RazMamma-Designs/147855301907860?v=app_169505045786&ref=ts Before the new version was released it was as crisp and clean as my regular Etsy shop! I'm embarrassed to have a "My Etsy" tab right now between the overlapping images of my memory/prayer jars AND the way the photos are suddenly grainy! I'm thinking about deleting it all together. It is a shame because its a great, easy way to introduce my friends to Etsy!

btw I know I've been ranting, but.... THANK YOU for listening and adding the location back to our 1st page!! YAY!!!! :) This is a step in the right direction! Many "hearts" to the Etsy team :)

I just redesigned my banner to hold my "announcement" or secondary heading. Then I totally erased my announcement. It looks much better. When Etsy fixes the announcement area, I will put it back with more info. I think its important to have this secondary heading after the banner because it lets customers know what you do and who you are and how you are different.

As a "just-shopper" so far in my Etsy experience I am not happy with the navigation having switched to the left, but I'm sure I'll get used to it at some point. But why then keep the navigation in the single item pages on the RIGHT! Extremely confusing and unintuitive. I find it majorly annoying that the Shop Announcement now has a small pop-up - as many shops have important announcements and news there. I'm quite happy that you offer the chance to see approximate cost in other currencies now - although I'm sure to buy more rarely because I never was good at converting in my head ^^ and now I roughly know what it is in my currency. This will only influence my impulse buying, for things I search for I usually check the real cost.

I actually thought the change to the navigation was going to be hard, but I have to admit that I had a huge problem making my photos "show up" with enough detail on the old format. The new size has helped considerably and so I will get used to the rest! Thanks Etsy!! By the way, I have to admit that I have only once read a shop announcement and it was because I was looking for an answer to a question I had. I think the additional screen real estate is an improvement. Most people just put a list of blogs they have been featured in on their announcements. Why are we promoting other peoples blogs over our own items??

I LOVE it. Thank you etsy. I am happy that you have taken the buyers shopping experience to the level it deserves. It's a beautiful change. Please, don't change it back.

Very polished and organized. New customers would enjoy the visual. It would be nice if the designers the shop layout could come up with an easy way of 'listing'. When we have to make a 'new listing' there is lots of repetition, and same descriptions....retyping is tedious, when you are doing multiple listings.

I'm not sure if one small shop owner will make a difference, but I prefer the old appearance. The Shop Title was bolder and easier to read and made all the differrence. The shop announcement was less awkward to read. Maybe instead of drop down, it could be shorter but wider...and bolder? I do like the border. I have contests and special deals that my customers won't get to see if they don't "read more". I have lost sales. Thanks for listening!

I love it ,love it ,love it ,can you tell I LOVE IT?

I have concerns about the shop announcement truncation. I have information about my other shops, now that information is part of the "Read More" which means most new customers will not ever see that I have more stores. I know I will lose sales. What really concerns me is that we have this new lovely format but the entire system is NOT user-friendly. For store viewing, if you click on an item to see the write-up, when you get back to the store products, you are taken back to the top of the page rather than where you left off. This hampers motivated buyers - having to constantly page down and page down to get their place back. We don't want to slow down impulse buying. Hate to complain because I love Etsy. But, I have spent a lot of time researching how to increase views and the shop announcement is an important part of our marketing efforts.

I like the wider pages more product visible this way. As for the left versus right debate...The eye naturally falls to the right hand side so why navigate on the left? After selling magazine advertising for 10 years that is a proven fact- items on the right are viewed more ofter. Pick up a magazine and flip through it. Where do your eyes fall? To purchase advertising space it is more expensive on the right hand pages as opposed to the left. I rest my case!

Awesome! Looking forward to the face lift! :)

I agree with hblanchard25 and so many others that aren't truly happy with the changes made. Please consider making the changes an option rather than a complete change if possible. I really dislike the shop announcement change.

Well, let's see. I like the larger photos and wider pages, except that my computer is currently running them off the sides of the screen! Is this an etsy glitch, do I need to reset something, or what? I absolutely HATE the left column stuff: we read from left to right and I want my listings to be read first! Ditto the truncated announcement: I have a short description of my shops, which comes up OK, but if I'm announcing new items, sales, etc. my customers now need to click to see them. And I'd like Search to default to "All Items". I know we're a handmade (AND vintage and supplies) marketplace, but I pay the same fees and % for my supplies (and more of them, too) as for handmade, and feel that those areas are being slighted in the search feature. New buyers, especially, don't always understand how to switch. It would be nice if there were some mechanism for the rest of us to have some input before such sweeping changes are made!

i love the new look on my shop page (i also sell jewelry as bijouXstudio) but as a seller and etsy buyer, the smaller photos make it difficult to see the item, because i find it uncomfortable. i'm spending less time shopping on etsy.

AWESOME!
