Etsy Sales Dropped, Algorithm Change Ruined My Vintage Shop
If your Etsy vintage sales dropped off a cliff in 2025, you are not alone. My shop, ModRetroLiving, lost 60% of its sales and 80% of its views almost overnight.
I was one of the top 10% of Etsy sellers. Then the algorithm changed, I panicked, and I took SEO advice meant for POD, Handmade and digital sellers. It completely tanked my shop. In this video, I am sharing my 30-year journey as a vintage seller, the mistakes I made listening to the "gurus," and my plan to fight my way back.
I am not a coach. I am a real seller testing real strategies to see what actually works for one-of-a-kind vintage items in 2026.
