I don't see why they _couldn't_ - they specifically say "All of your listings or shops may be promoted". Even if they don't, it still falls into a similar trap

I don't see why they _couldn't_ - they specifically say "All of your listings or shops may be promoted". Even if they don't, it still falls into a similar trap. A few weeks prior (when I was still looking for cheaper alternatives), I mentioned off-hand that I've found one option, and it's on Etsy. Did she Google "[generic term] + Etsy" (I only found one seller, so it's tantamount to searching the seller's name)? I've no idea, but if she did, they're probably taking 12%.

Advertising is a fickle game, and I don't see this being successful without building it on a broad program that allocates spend by some segmentation of their sales (e.g. product category).

  Dynamic creative from a product feed setup to serve to a retargeting audience of people who visited those pages is not a terribly difficult ad task and certainly something Etsy is capable of doing from an engineering standpoint. I'm not quite sure why you feel it isn't but I'd like to better understand your perspective.

    And how do they get the traffic to retarget in the first place?
