I don't check the Forum too much but I know I was looking at items today and seeing the usual item page - however now I have a completely new layout?!? Anyone else seeing this??

Hi there!
It looks like you’ve happened upon a design that we’ve recently been testing. Occasionally, we test new products, tools, and designs on a small percentage of visitors to Etsy. We understand that the idea of running experiments on the site can be concerning to both sellers running their businesses and shoppers browsing the site, and we make sure to keep this in mind throughout the life of this and all of our experiments.
The results of these tests are extremely valuable to us, and we use them, along with member feedback, to determine whether or not to go through with a proposed change to the site. If the information we're using has been influenced, it makes the test harder for us to evaluate properly.
As a result, as sellers encountering this experiment, we highly recommend that you don't change your normal selling processes, as the experiment is only visible to a small group of visitors.
If you'd like to know more about our experiment process, our CEO Chad goes into more detail in this Etsy News post: www.etsy.com/blog/news/2012/notes-from-chad-7/
When we make significant changes to the site, we'll announce what we've done, often on the Etsy News Blog, the Forums, or through other channels.
Thank you for your feedback thus far!

Can you be more specific about what you're seeing and where you're seeing it? (I have a feeling you may have toggled the gallery/list view buttons that affect how you see shops/search results, but I need more info to confirm!) :-)
I'm trying to figure out how to take a screen shot...I'm on a new computer :) It's not the shop listing with the gallery/list option, it's the actual item listing....I'll try to post a picture soon!
Someone in one of my teams just mentioned this too and posted a screenshot. It is very different from the way listings have looked.
I know exactly what you mean, Joanne. Jenny, if you click on any individual item, the layout has changed.
I am really bothered by the shipping info in the new layout.
I ship worldwide, but I only see "ships to United States for $..' - customers have to click on 'United States' to select another country, but I'm afraid that most will just assume I ONLY ship to the US.

I have it, I'm taking screen shots.
Agreeing with Aki...I'm actually overseas right now, but when I look at listings it gives the US postage price - could be the shop settings, but it usually knows where I am so I hope US isn't default for all...
Also not sure how I feel about the description being cut down. I know that would take priority for me over the materials and where it's made, which is right up top!

First time I have seen that, it's terrible just the facts for a quick purchase. Do you have to click down below to see the description?
I don't have that, it must be a test.
