Original Post

I can no longer choose $5.00 weekly expenditure on search ads.

I have spent so much time trying make changes to my search ads and finally turned them off in frustration.

The message at the top of the page said I have not ads running.

The message at the bottom of the page said I have 1 item running.

The 'learn more' page says I can choose any amount over $5.00 but this no longer appears on the main page.

What is going on? What am I missing? Very, very frustrated with it all.

All the amounts have now doubled. I've had a reply from Etsy but still not making sense. I've switched off search ads, I just can't waste any more time messing about with it.

It used to be $5, $10, $20

Now it's $10, $20, $42.

Apparently I can choose $42 and then choose/alter amount. It just doesn't seem to work.

I had upped it to $10.00 per week and that changed everything, even though the help area still shows $5.00 etc.

Just wasting too much time on it and I wasn't getting great results - a waste of time and money.

Just been back for a look... the $42.00 amount can be changed, but I'm over it at the moment.

Thanks for your reply clara. I'm about to head over to your shop.x

I see weekly budget shows $7, $14 and $21. It used to start from $5 I think, can't remember.

Weekly budget on my page starts at $10.00 - used to start at $5.00.

I increased search ads from $5.00 to $10.00 and now the list of choices/amounts have changed on that screen.

Too confusing! Have wasted too much valuable time and energy on this, I'm really annoyed.
