How to Delete Featured Listings in an Etsy Shop

So, you've mastered how to rearrange listings on Etsy, but what about those featured listings that no longer serve your shop's goals? Deleting featured listings can be a strategic move, especially when you want to refresh your shop's look or focus on promoting new items.

1. Go to your Shop Manager. Log in to your Etsy account and navigate to the Shop Manager. From there, click on "Listings" in the sidebar.

2. Locate your Featured listings. You'll see a yellow star under each of your featured listings. These are the items that appear at the top of your shop's homepage.

3. Unmark as Featured. Click on the yellow star under the listing you wish to remove from the featured section. The star will turn gray, indicating that the listing is no longer featured.

4. Confirm your changes. There's no specific "save" button for this action. Once you click the star, the change is immediate.

5. Review your shop. After you've unmarked the listings, go to your shop's homepage to confirm that they have been removed from the featured section.

Note: If you have Etsy Plus, you can rearrange featured listings in a larger display at the top of your homepage. Make sure to update this section as well if you've made changes to your featured listings.

Rearranging Your Etsy Listings: 5 Tips

• Prioritize bestsellers, seasonal items, and new arrivals: Your top-selling items and new arrivals should generally be at the top of your shop. That said, if it's the holiday season, consider replacing them with your holiday-themed items.

• Use sections wisely: Create and organize your listings into sections. This not only makes your shop look organized but also makes it easier for customers to navigate.

• Think like a customer: Arrange your products in a way that would make the most sense to your target audience. For instance, if you sell clothing, consider organizing them by type, season, or even color.

• Use the bulk editing feature: If you're looking to make changes to multiple listings, the bulk editor in the Etsy listings manager is your best friend. This tool allows you to change sections, renew listings, and even adjust prices for multiple items at once.

• Keep an eye on mobile: Remember, the mobile experience might differ, so make sure to check how your rearranged listings appear on mobile devices.
