<p>Dear Sellers,<br /><br />We're happy to announce a new feature on Etsy: your sold listing pages will now show available related items. This means whenever shoppers come across one of your sold items, they'll see three items currently for sale from your shop. So if a shop is featured on a blog or website and your items sells out, the buyer is immediately shown other items from that seller still available for purchase. And if there's an item that has the exact same title, that one will be shown first to make it easy for buyers to find. </p><p><em>Here's a peek at what it might look like from a shopper's perspective:</em></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/article_images/related.png" alt="" /></p><p><strong>FAQ's</strong></p><p><strong>Q. Where will I see related items?</strong><br />A. Related items will appear on the listing and transaction pages of sold items. So any way a buyer gets to a sold item's page, they'll see related items from that shop. The only place you won't see related items is if you are a seller looking at your own sold listing, or if there are no other items in a shop.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><strong>Q. How many items will show in the related items?</strong><br />A. Up to three related items will show on your sold listings pages at one time.&nbsp; If there are less than three items to show, we'll show as many as are available.&nbsp; If there are no items to show, then the page will appear in the same way sold listings originally appeared &mdash; without this new feature. </p><p><strong>Q. How does Etsy choose which items to show for each sold item?</strong><br />A. First off, we search the shop for an item with the <em>exact same title</em> as the sold item. If there is an exact title match, we'll show that first. If there's more than one match, we'll just show the first one. After that, we pull from the seller's featured items; this will help give the seller a little control over what may appear on their sold listings pages.&nbsp; Finally, if there are no featured listings in the shop, we show the seller's most recently listed items.&nbsp; </p><p><strong>Q. What if there are no active listings in a shop?</strong><br />A. No related items will appear on the sold items page if there are no active listings in the shop at that time. </p><p><em>&nbsp;If you'd like to discuss this feature in detail, please see the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5715133">forum thread</a>.
