As you're shopping on Etsy today, you will notice that we are starting to add the suffix "USD" across the site to notify users that our prices are listed in US dollars. 

In this first phase, you will see this change in several places, including Checkout, Search results, view detail pages, Gift Guides and on Your Etsy.  There are some places, such as the Treasury and Showcase, that will be changed at a later date.

In the future, we plan to offer the ability to see prices in different currencies.  Showing the three letter USD suffix is an important first step in this process.
