Etsy Joins eBay in Testing Competitive Items in Seller Listings

When a seller wrote about a test Etsy was running on Tuesday, it led to 2 days of confusion about what was actually being tested. But what remains clear is that sellers don't like marketplaces drawing shoppers away from their listing pages. The original poster described what she saw in the test, which replaced "Related items in this shop," a gallery of pictures of the seller's other items, with a feature called "Similar items" with a hyperlink to "See more."
