Default Etsy Sales

Hi folks, I recently started selling a few of my items on Etsy and had a few sales in my first week. Three weeks later and I have made no further sales, although people are "favouriting" my items on a daily basis.

Is this normal on Etsy? Does it take a month or two to build up momentum or are there other steps I should take to improve my product exposure?

Its rumoured they give new sellers a boost in the first week to keep them keen, then its back to normal. Et si advertising is an option, usually works, even better if you do some testing.

I am having the same issues. It was previously not like this-- you could get an account started and ready to go pretty quickly. They are throttling accounts and indexing certain items for sure despite ad $

I dont see throttling. What I do see is sales coming in waves, which is normal.

sales is not just slow,whatever I sold are low price items!
Many buyers use that service KRNA?? which offers installment payments,may be they are now paying their bills,or they are spending money elsewhere like eating out.

sales is slow everywhere,consumers are facing rising costs in food,gas,services,UK is worse than US.
Many Etsy sellers who have been on Etsy 3-5 years have hardly any sales.
Also more buyers are resellers,hoping to get a lower price from you so they can resell at a profit

Right on. Need to keep innovating (new products, updated listings, new niches) etc. Eventually it will catch up
