Well, that's interesting. Nice of Etsy to tell me that "Pattern" is considered internally to be a legacy product with no support or repairs, but then we kinda knew that anyway, didn't we?

I’m transferring you to a live agent now.
Hi there, this is Levi. Thank you for contacting Etsy and I'm happy to help you.
I said:
Hello. Can you see pattern-only listing number 4537187329?
Agent:
Thank you for sharing your concern.
Please allow me couple of minutes while I check with my resources and help you in the best possible way.
.
I really appreciate your patience.
Me:
Still here :)
Agent:
Could you please be more specific about your concern, so that I can assist you with it?
Me:
Tell me if you can see pattern only listing number 4537187329.
Agent:
Yes.
Me:
What are the first four words of the item title?
Agent:
Thank you for your patience.
Me:
Still here :)
Agent:
From Etsy end, I can see "Pattern Failure Test Title"
Me:
And what are the first four words of the item title when you use "view on etsy," to see the item on the pattern site?
Agent:
Please allow me a minute.
I can't see how your listing appears to others.
Me:
That's not true. Use 'view on etsy'
Agent:
I don't have access to your live site, so I can't view your items as they appear to buyers. I'm sorry if that's frustrating.
Me:
That's frustrating because it's a lie. This is now a complaint that pattern listing titles are failing to update over a period of days, weeks, and MONTHS.

Further action and a case number is required.
Agent:
I appreciate you sharing your experience and I’m sorry to hear your listing titles haven't updated. I've documented this as a concern regarding persistent issues with Pattern site updates.
Because Pattern is a legacy product, our current tools are limited, and we don't have a dedicated team for these updates. I’ve logged your feedback for internal review.
Me:
Case number? Why are you still charging me for a legacy product?
Why are you still advertising and selling a legacy product?
Agent:
I'm escalating this concern to the relevant team. You will receive an email as soon as possible. I appreciate your patience and understanding.
Me:
Please note that being charged for a product considered internally to be "legacy" which has no support is not adequate. Please refund all charges for Pattern since it has been considered to be a legacy product with no support.
Agent:
I understand, I'm escalting this concern to the relevant team. You will receive an email.
Me:
Inadequate response.
Case number.
Agent:
Our team will contact you via email.
Me:
Case number.
Agent:
Thank you for contacting Etsy. Have a great day ahead.
Me:
Case number.

Thankyou very much, "Pattern By Etsy," for wasting about two years of my time with pointless activity trying to make a broken-down legacy product function. Your lies and charges have not gone un-noticed. Byeee!
