Are you on the app or desktop? Because I still see cities on the engagement page on desktop.

Some details are blocked on some visits, as I mentioned, which is not something Squarespace can fix.

For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 24, a photo taken 13 years ago today, the Bow River in the Rocky Mountains near the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, in Banff National Park, Alberta.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!

I've been too busy to keep up with #ArtAdventCalendar for the past 2 weeks or so, but here's my entry for Day 20: aurora borealis, as seen from downtown Calgary in May 2024.

Was amazed we could see them this well in the centre of the city!

For Day 4 #ArtAdventCalendar

one of my favourite combinations: genuine crinoid fossil jasper in black, white and pink, with cherry "quartz" and hematite, for cute dangle earrings.

More photos here.

Day 2 #ArtAdventCalendar

I used to make a lot of these dangle cluster earrings with peacock pearls and paua shells, because they complement each other perfectly. It's getting a bit hard for me to do the tiny wire wraps now, but I can still combine them in other ways!

Happy Day 1 of #ArtAdventCalendar!

Here's a lovely sunset I captured on Keawakapu Beach on Maui, November 2014.

I've been called out as an Etsy employee who could never criticize the corp 🤣🤣🤣

OP insists that "thousands" of sellers are being hurt by an Etsy issue that started Nov. 6, but I've only been able to verify a few dozen - & most of them were violating Etsy policies.

Truth hurts, I guess? 🙄

To no one's surprise, the new version of Etsy's domestic and global pricing tool has some glitches, charging EU countries more than they should be. Etsy forum thread on the topic. 🙄

Is eBay hungry for new listings and sellers in some jurisdictions? I received an email last week exhorting me to list more - but I have never had a seller account. First time this has happened to me.

(I am registered for seller news updates, though)

Etsy is once again allowing sellers to buy Canada Post labels on site.

Note that there are still rotating Canada Post strikes which change every day, so there could be short delays.

I tried; it said "You have reached the maximum number of pre-orders allowed for this immunization season."

I only preordered for 2025 so far, or at least I thought I did it for 2025. (We've already had the shots)

I just tried to preorder covid vaccines for 2026-27, & it told me I had "reached the maximum number of pre-orders allowed for this immunization season"

I ordered 2 for 2025-26 and we already received our shots, but had not ordered for 2026-27 before I tried today

Etsy seller AlainsBlacksmithShop.etsy.com reports that UPS is returning packages to senders after 5 business days if they can't clear US Customs in that time.

No one outside of the United States should be using UPS to ship into the States right now.

Check out this fantastic Etsy shop - ceramic painting on Mt. Etna lava! 🌋

We bought this awesome fish for our bathroom wall. Told the artist my partner had a geology degree, & she included some extra lava, now in our rock display case!

This is what Etsy can be 😊

Due to Canada cancelling the Digital Services Tax Act, which was to be paid starting today, companies such as Etsy need to remove the extra fees they are charging us because of the tax, & refund the amount we paid already. With interest

But Etsy Support knows nothing about it.

Happy 20th to Etsy! Here's what the site looked like 20 years ago today, courtesy the Wayback Machine.


Etsy put out a blog post to celebrate, and is offering sellers an extra discount on the Share and Save affiliate program - now 6.5% until July 23.

Etsy claims these changes are just "clarifications", even though they removed items expressly allowed previously

They didn't address changes to the Services policy at all

And they chose to hide this post in a forum that not everyone can read 🙄

People in India can once again open new Etsy shops.

I wrote about it on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
