Consolidated Feedback Search Tool

Etsy defines Feedback as "Feedback is a public record of a member's impression of a transaction on Etsy. Both the buyer and seller can leave feedback for one another in each transaction."

Feedback Tool turns reading Etsy feedback on its head by taking disjointed information across many pages into a consolidated snapshot of information in a single, easy to read, consolidated thread associated with the item bought or sold. The feedback can be viewed from several different points of view:

As Seller

Show Consolidated Feedback between a Seller and their Customers by listings sold by a specific seller.

As Buyer

Show Consolidated Feedback between a Buyer and their Sellers by listings purchased by a specific seller.

As Author

Show Feedback given by a Seller/Buyer for listings sold/purchased. Only shows Feedback given.

From Others

Show Feedback received from a Seller/Buyer for listings sold/purchased. Only shows Feedback received.

Once you've selected the type of search that you want to perform and pressed the Search button, Etsy is queried and after a brief pause whilst we collect and collate the results, the results will be displayed. The page will automatically jump to the search results.

NOTE: Due to the amount of information required from Etsy, this search many take Etsy a few seconds longer to build and send to Tools4Etsy than other Search Tools.

NOTE: Feedback result count will vary for all searches except for "From Others" as the Feedback Statistic reported by Etsy, and shown in the User/Shop Summary, is only for Feedback Received. Therefore the Result count is for all threads displayed.

Tagging Search Tool

Tags have a very important, and commonly underestimated, role in Etsy Search. Tag Wars is the first of several tools planner to help research and identify Tags that will help push listings to the top of Etsy Searches.

Tag Wars

Compares two sets of Tags. The Tag cloud summary can be based on one of the following statistics:

Relevancy

Count of tags for listings displayed

Avg Views/Day

Total Average views per Day for listings displayed on the page.

Popularity

Accumulative count of views for listings displayed

Probability

Probability is used to find the number of occurrence of an event out of possible outcomes. Probability percentage calculation = number of views for an item divided by total views for all items (displayed)

Once you've selected the tags to compare and pressed the Search button, Etsy is queried and after a brief pause whilst we collect and collate the results, the results will be displayed. The page will automatically jump to the search results.

We've been asked in the forums "Which tags should I choose - most popular or least?". We suggest that you use all 14 tags & select tags that users would look for. We've added a tag cloud that shows tag density for the images in view. You can use this to build up a set (of 14) tags that best describe your product and best competes against other shop listings. Here's a suggestion that's mentioned frequently in the Etsy Forums:

It's important that Tags are correctly used and miss-tagging doesn't occur. Here are some important Etsy Storque articles (in no particular order) to assist with selecting the most appropriate tags for listings:

NOTE: If a listing is frequently relisted, then the statistics display will be affected. This is beyond our control as counts supplied by Etsy are single totals and relistings are accumulative and not reset at time of relisting.
