Original Post

I changed my profile pic yesterday & when I paste a link to my store on my personal Facebook page, the old profile pic is showing up as the thumbnail. Any ideas on how to fix this?

You just have to wait I'm afraid. It's not anything Etsy has done or can do - Facebook is simply using the most recent link it has indexed. It will update eventually

.eta The same thing happens with FB links to other web pages, not just Etsy. It just takes time for changes to show.

Hi there,

Jane is correct, unfortunately. Avatars and banners both need to wait for Facebook to update and it can take some time. It will happen eventually, however. Thanks!
