Tech Updates: Placing Items in Sections During the Listing Process!


Story by marymary, RevolvingDork, TechUpdates Published on July 7, 2008 in Etsy News	Photo by girlsavage

Dear Sellers,

You asked for it, and now it's here! We've just integrated the step of placing an item in your shop sections into the listing process. No more annoying extra step after you are finished, and no more forgetting once an item is listed.

Here's a screen shot of what it looks like during step 3 of the listing process:

If you still have items that are not listed in sections, you can manually add and edit them the exact same way as before by clicking on the "sections" link in Your Etsy. Now would be the perfect time to list a brand spankin' new item to test out this great new feature! There have been several related requests that items be allowed in more than one shop section at a time. This is a feature we are still researching, but is not on the list of priorities at this time.

Again, thanks so much for all of your continued feedback and suggestions! We appreciate it. Here's an article with some ways to use your shop sections.

Woot! Thanks so much - I always forget about this step and have to go back later. You guys are awesome. Between this and being able to rearrange pics, that makes listing so much easier!

that is awesome! you know what else would be sweet? to be able to make etsy minis by sections? pretty please with sugar on top! if i had this ability i would make a "store" on my website that would secretly just be one big etsy promo. :) plus that would help with the whole arranging things in your own shop. at least for me.

So awesome and useful!! I'm glad you guys just added this today. I thought I was going crazy when I first saw it. I thought to myself 'how did I miss this yesterday'. Thanks for reassuring me that I am not crazy, or blind.
