In True Etsy Style

Ah, Etsy, where the admin gather links like nobody's business...

Have you seen the Etsy Seller Handbook! (which is dated Aug 3, 2009 at the time of this blog post)

At first glance it looks like a thorough compilation of information to help newbies wade through information in the Storque...but, aha, some of them are useless! (And listing links to previous entries is one hell of a way to crank out one more Dorque post)

For "beware of spammers" they link to a warning from October 2007 about a then recent spam problem. Only the last line about the abuse email is relevant...they couldn't just extract this bit? They don't even note if it's still the way to report spam in August 2009 (almost 2 years later!).

Heavn forbid they actually do something like compile a useful block of information. Instead they scatter it, link it, scatter it some more, and confuse the hell out of everyone in the process. A reasonably searchable and practical FAQ or Help page would do a lot more for new sellers.

What is YOUR favorite useless bit of information or aspect to the new "handbook"?
