Am I Just Being A B^*%#

[ydelaney]

So for months and months now I always go a few time a day to see where my tutu/tutus are on the list and it never fails I always see the same person as bumped me of the front page by listing 4-12 YES 12 things wich would be fine BUT they are not tutus ARE NOT TUTUS!!!! I understand that some people use the tag tutu for a wand of crown sometimes since it goes together but come on 3-4 times a day and 4-12 items at once listing something that is clearly not a tutu so that the whole front page is full of your item I think it is unfair to the customer, me and everyother tutu maker I only list my tutus with the other tags if they are included I try and try to ignore it BUT IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY I don't think this person is a memeber here but if so I am sorry to bring it to the board and not you I just need to rant how would you feel if I listed my tutus as crowns and took up the whole page2-3 times a day AHHHHHHHHHHHH Someone please tell me I am not alone for thinking these things sorry to rant I have been holding back for a while

You need to report them for improper tags. I get SO mad with the headband section- NONE of them are headbands!!!

I have been super busy and unable to bump my shop like I should. I am still getting sales, and people are still finding me. I read that alot of buyers on etsy like to look thru the pages, and they don't buy from the front page all the time.

I have flagged it at least 3 times over the last few months and I just now heard back from them a couple of days ago and then I look tonight AHHHHH I don't use the outlook I just copy and paste into my yahoo and send it that way. I guess I will keep on them. Thanks I feel a little better now

I agree. I don't think that anyone who would buy this would care that the chick has a headband on. Like they think to themselves,

....."Oh, I would buy this nude girl photo if only she was wearing a headband - no deal! Maybe if I search headband I will get some nudie pics with headband wearing girls..."

Unneccesary tag! Come on, "nude", "mature", "vintage" - these things are correct tags. Headband? Ummm...NO.

Well said!!!

Etsy is going to loose customers this way. I don't shop on ebay because of it. I used to be able to let my boys scroll thru the pics of toys on ebay. NOT ANYMORE!! I was shocked at what I saw.

How many busy moms shop with a baby on their lap? Alot! I am sure they don't want those pics being shown to children.

Flag them by emailing abuse@etsy.com instead of clicking that button if you don't have outlook, that is what I have to do. I only flag for blatant tag abuse. Some of these sound like they really are abuse. Off to search headbands and tutus....

[Wendy523]

OK, the nude pic is not tag abuse, Headband is in the title appropriately. The search included titles and tags. It should not show up if browsing the categories for accessories.

OH I totally agree! Someone had mentioned the headband tag earlier, I just didn't want anyone to report it for tag abuse inappropriately.

LOL!!!
