Shown here is a discussion with Etsy/Pattern so-called support concerning spreadsheet downloads detailing all the extant listings.  They no longer include listings only on my pattern site, which was a vital function used to publicise those listings outside of the limited Etsy/Pattern environment.  Why has it gone?  Does this loss apply to everyone?  The conclusion from "support" is that it does.  

This is at odds with information that I have seen elsewhere on Etsy forums.  It will be very strange if I find out that this isn't true.

Etsy Listings Download - No Pattern

ID: #19633331       Henry James Walmsley 3 days ago  About  six week ago, etsy listings downloads ceased to contain Pattern only  listings.  This unacceptable situation continues.  You could just revert  the software. Tell me why I should continue to bother with your Toy-Town website? Henry James Walmsley.        Lester 2 days ago  Hi there Henry,  

I'm Lester from the Etsy support team. And I'll be glad to give you some insights regarding your listings download inquiry.  

First  things first, I certainly recognize your frustration with the current  situation as for the pattern limitation. That said, could It be possible  to provide more details about your request for further investigation  please? For instance where you saw such notification above.  

We're looking to hear back from you pretty soon. Regards Lester Etsy Support Team Download the Etsy App! - https://etsy.app.link/o1a4ZAbgeJb        Henry James Walmsley 2 days ago  Where I saw the notification above? I said nothing about a notification.  Learn to read and  comprehend or pass me to someone who does not deliberatley obfuscate the  issue.    From "Download Shop Data" the spreadsheet file EtsyListingsDownload  .csv no longer contains pattern only listings.  I use this to bring  customers to *your* website, a whole lot more than your broken search  does. Read and understand the issue, then fix it by making it work like it used to. Tell me if all users are affected by this, because I am  gaining the impression that you want me to cease trading on Etsy.  I  would like my account to be reviewed by a specialist. Henry Walmsley.        Lester 2 days ago  Hey again Henry, thanks for keeping in touch.  

By  the way, note that as your first reply didn't include enough details to  specify the exact issue you've been having with the pattern listings,  then I asked more information as for research.  

So, after a  further investigation and as you rightly stated, this was an option our  platform used to have for the CSV files of your store. Reason why these  pattern listings are not included on them any longer.  

However,  rest assured I'll ensure your comments and feedback are properly  addressed by our teams, as we continue working on future site updates  for all our members, just like for yourself.  

And If there's anything else that we can help you with, please feel free to reach out.
