Privacy Somewhat Broken on Etsy

I sell primarily through Etsy, so I wanted to give my customers the heads up on Etsy's latest not-so-great idea. Go check on your privacy settings!

Etsy users irked after buyers, purchases exposed to the world.

Also, I haven't looked around at their forums in a couple of years. And now you're only allowed to discuss Etsy's own website and its features. Srsly? No more forums for promotions or technique trading. I don't know how much work it took for the company to maintain that part of the website, but so many buyers and sellers used it that it seems like another not-so-great idea.

On the other hand, I remember when an Etsy listing cost ten cents for six months, so I guess these sorts of things are inevitable :-/

Gump Gump!

Gump Gump
[For sale here on Etsy!]

Adorable ! Little black stone frogs with Czech crystal, clear quartz, and snowflake obsidian beads.

Earrings are two inches long, with sterling silver ear wires and findings.


Frogs as totems and spirit animals teach lessons in rejuvenation and replenishment, healing and learning through osmosis, fertility, balance, creativity, and metamorphosis. Snowflake obsidian is also a stone that encourages balance, and black stones often have a grounding influence.

These earrings could be used as a "go with the flow" talisman, to help ground oneself for a period of transformation. Good for changing habits and learning new life patterns.
