My work couldn't be seen by any buyer unless they perservered through a few dozen pages. Even though they "fixed" it in late November, the impact was already felt and continued into 2015. <br /><br />They wouldn't have even looked into it except for the very vocal and very persistent postings of some of us. And of course, those who WERE clumping no doubt have seen their views decrease when they instituted the quota in the first pages.<br /><br />I just try to ride the highs and was hoping HaA would give me more security.<br /><br />I think being vocal and "nagging" HaA will spur them IF they are sincere in wanting to build a handmade site, and the more voices on the forums, the better.<br /><br />It's our only hope.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05094143833339933256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941609349878891492.post-77618554376960254202016-01-27T08:02:41.536-08:002016-01-27T08:02:41.536-08:00That was a great summation, thank you!

I feel so hemmed in with H@A, but have since left Etsy after being toyed with too long as a seasoned seller who went from very good success to stagnation. I did have a healthy holiday selling season on H@A, but things have slowed to a crawl now. Oh what to do? Your work is beautiful!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946837414854617325noreply@blogger.com
