Setting Your Etsy Account Options
Etsy groups several account-related settings in one area on the Etsy Your Account page. You go to Etsy's Your Account page to set options related to purchases, feedback, your Etsy profile, settings, your Etsy bill, and Etsy apps:
Tracking your Etsy purchases: Anything that you buy on Etsy appears on the Purchases page. To access this page, simply click the Purchases link on the left side of Your Account. You may view your purchased items to review an item's invoice (by clicking the Invoice link) or to reconnect with a seller (by clicking her user name and choosing Contact or Shop from the list of options that appears).
You can filter purchases by month and year, for easier viewing.
Checking your feedback: To get a sense of your rep on Etsy, check out your feedback in Your Account. Simply click the Feedback link along the left side of the Your Account page; then click the Completed Feedback tab to see the scuttlebutt. You can also leave feedback for other members and view appreciation photos in this area of Your Account.
Viewing your public profile: Your Etsy public profile is just what it sounds like: a page where other Etsians can go to learn all about you and your Etsy shop. Populating your public profile is a big part of running a successful Etsy shop; after all, a big reason people shop on Etsy is to forge a personal connection with the people who make what they buy. You populate your public profile from, well, the Your Public Profile page. To access this page, click the Public Profile link on the left side of the Your Account page.
Revising your account settings: On Etsy, viewing and changing your account settings — such as your password; e-mail address; language, currency, and other preferences; privacy settings; shipping address; billing info; and e-mail notification settings — is a breeze. To access all these settings, click the Settings link on the left side of Your Account; then click the tab you need — Account, Preferences, Privacy, Shipping Addresses, Billing, or E-mails.
Viewing your Etsy bill: Although it's true that the best things in life are free, it's also true that there's no such thing as a free lunch. If you opt to sell your handmade or vintage goodies on Etsy, you have to pony up each month. To see how much you owe, click the Your Bill link in Your Etsy; you can pay your bill by clicking the Make a Payment Now button on the page that appears.
Tracking your Etsy apps: Loads of apps are available for Etsians to enjoy. For example, you'll find apps to help you run your Etsy store, compile Etsy treasuries, and more. You can access apps connected to your Etsy account on the Apps page, which you view by clicking the Apps link on the left side of Your Account. To see a list of available Etsy apps, click the App Gallery link on the Apps page.
For the most part, Etsy hasn't developed these apps; third-party vendors create them. If you have trouble with one, you need to contact the vendor, not Etsy.
