Is it possible to see how many sales for items on Etsy?

[starengine]

Maybe I'm imagining it...
I could swear before you could see how many times an item had been sold on Etsy?
Have they removed?
(Did it ever exist?)

ALSO... starting a new Etsy account... is it better to start buying and then convert to a seller account? Do you get higher limits if you do this?
Or should I not worry and start a seller account?

I've never sold on Etsy and have no problems.
I've bought many many years ago - never had problems though.

Thanks.

I'm not an etsy expert, but listening to people and seeing the situations I'd treat them like I treat amazon and be extra careful.

I don't think buying first then selling would give you extra benefits.

How about you make 2 accounts, one to sell right away then a 2nd one that you baby?

like SaiJin stated, might as well get building stealth accounts and working the kinks out

i haven't bought on etsy so that pattern of buying before selling...i dont know the specific benefits. perhaps other ppl have experience...?

I think Etsy not like have same acc for buy and sell, that they ask sometime
Better keep them separate ,can be the real for buy
