USD on listings

Have you noticed? There is now a "USD" (U.S. dollar) under all prices on shop listings that is the same size as the price.

"In this first phase, you will see this change in several places, including Checkout, Search results, view detail pages, Gift Guides and on Your Etsy. There are some places, such as the Treasury and Showcase, that will be changed at a later date."


Supposedly, this is the first step to adding on additional currencies.

There is a discussion thread that has taken a weird turn...some members think the USD isn't important or that it's "too big". Maybe they don't realize that this little change has been needed for international sellers who live where it's legally required, since Etsy began. Way too long to wait, actually.

Does this change answer the international sellers' call for their countries' rules? You tell us. And be sure to stop by that thread to add your voice.
