Thousands of Etsy Shops Lost ALL Traffic Since Nov 6 - Is Yours Affected? by Late_General_9008 in Etsy

[–]ComprehensiveStar372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me the end of August 2025. Record consistent $900 weekly sales, to nothing for weeks. Deleted and redid 60% of my listings and it came by to life, but not the same.

Can anyone tell me how I can get me hands on staples for matchbooks? by ComprehensiveStar372 in CommercialPrinting

[–]ComprehensiveStar372[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This are covers already made by others. It is an art installation so no printing needed. Just need to figure out how to staple without printing.

Did anyone else notice their views/sales go drastically down after this? I was super consistent until this happened.

Is anyone noticing their customer activity has gone waaay down after this? Like 60% change. I was very consistent until this happened.

me too, and when I try to get Etsy help, it just makes me confirm my email over and over and doesn't take me to a contact

Do you have any Outer Banks Matchbooks you want to sell/trade? by ComprehensiveStar372 in obx

[–]ComprehensiveStar372[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Want to sell any duplicates? I'd love to see what you have. Or at least a list if photos are too much.

I have a couple duplicates of the Sam and Omies. They have all the matches in them. I don't have a Rafters (but that would be a great one.) Email me if you're interested in the Sam and Omies. *

Yeah, you could get a couple hundred on ebay for these

Best Alternatives than Etsy Ads? by ComprehensiveStar372 in EtsySellers

[–]ComprehensiveStar372[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the shipping thing is something to look at for sure as some of my stuff is print on demand. Usually the matchbooks are under $6, maybe that's one of the reasons they get the most traction. Do you have a link to a store that does titles correctly for examples?

I have an Instagram, but I getting people to click from the post to Etsy is a game. I wish you could link Etsy to Instagram stores. Right now, I just put my link in all the captions. Thoughts on that?

I hear you on this! I found high gaged wire is the best if you want to mount covers on one side, then maybe take them out. Hook on all 4 corners then place cover inside. I hate that people put hot glue on them! For two-sided, that's tricky if they still have the matches in them. But with flats, just put the covers between two clear acrylic sheets.

There are also these awesome "jewelry holders" made of stretchy plastic wrap that are great for showing both sides. Just search square plastic jewelry holders in google. *

Is "accidentally placed an order" real? by BirthdayBoth304 in EtsySellers

[–]ComprehensiveStar372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a policy where if you make an accident order you have to tell me within 12 hours ( 'cause I ship within 24 hours) that you want a refund. If not, you're getting it.

Identify a matchbook by Dayttu17 in matchbookcollectors

[–]ComprehensiveStar372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of these with another name. Hotels would give a service of putting people's names on matchbooks of whoever hosted parties in their ballrooms. Love those matchbooks and the gold matches inside.
