Heads up!  On Monday, April 27, 2009 from 2am to 6am EDT, we will be doing scheduled maintenance on Etsy's systems. (Click here to translate this time on a world clock.) During this time period, all functions on the site will be unavailable, and all Etsy users will be directed to a page noting that the site is undergoing scheduled maintenance.   For updates during the maintenance window, please see http://fix.etsy.com.  

We have published the scheduled site maintenance times for the rest of 2009 here. Please mark your calendars, as these may be good times to have a snack with friends.

(Note: Any sellers who have purchased a Showcase that would run during this maintenance window will receive a pro-rated credit for the 4-hour maintenance period.)
