Quotables: Doublespeak

We'll look into it...

We know that a one-click vacation mode option is a much-desired feature for our sellers, especially those with lots of inventory. We agree that it would be super helpful!

We are hopeful that we will be able to provide a solution. However, I cannot promise a timeline or say with certainty how this feature would work. It's something we have researched (thanks in a big part to a lot of great community feedback from you all) and thought about a lot in recent months.

I said we'll look into it, now run along renew some stuff!

we have to figure out how features work best on Etsy. How other sites do things does not always provide a relevant solution for us. There's a lot of complex back-end work that needs to be considered for any change to the site, especially one as potentially complex as vacation mode. Plus there are a lot of other projects that took priority over this in the past 3 years. It's not quite that black and white.

From the Bitches Auxiliary: Avoiding Brooklyn

I am traveling to Brooklyn for a quickie vacation this weekend. And I couldn't help thinking that 2-3 years ago, before my sunny opinion of Etsy got turned upside down by inconsistency, bad customer service, and just plain having them treat me like a jerk, I would have been SO EXCITED to visit Etsylabs and meet the Etsy-folk. Now, not so much, in fact not at all. I'm going all the way there, and there's no way in heck I would waste vacation time. I hate it that I feel that way! But, I do...sigh...I hope someday all this bitching will make a difference so my Etsy frown can get turned upside down!
