They mentioned that they'd change that when they went out of Beta, it looks like they won't now. I’m disappointed that Etsy still requires a credit card.

The collages on graph paper are awesome. There is a soft spot in my heart for graph paper--so neat and tidy and useful! As a seller the new etsy has been frustrating many times, but it seems to be running better now and I'm getting used to the newness. I did buy two things from two different people to check out that new functionality and it was easy. Yesterday someone bought 4 items from me and it worked fabulously! Not only did I get paid there was only one email and one entry in PayPal instead of four emails and four separate PP transactions. AND I've never sold 4 things at once. So that right there sold me on the new etsy. Marieke’s blog is very well done–lots to look at and ponder. The collages on graph paper are awesome.

I am not crazy about the new etsy site, I think the listing fee increase is a shame for a lot of people....and I am also not keen on the re-design, as it is just not to my taste {not that it neccesarily was before}..especially the way the new thumbnails badly crop the images. I think it is also a shame that there was no information given to sellers about the changes and how they would affect the stores......but, it is still a great source of handmade design and I guess that is the important thing. :) Yes, I love love Marieke’s blog too….always worth a visit!!

My favourite part is the 'small increase' in listing costs, from 10 to 20 cents. Over here in England, we'd call that a 100% increase!!! The new Etsy - just looked.
