Hi Will,

Thank you for contacting me!

Yes, please feel free to contact me by email!

Thanks, Lisa

Yes, I ended up seeing that, sorry! How do you see the size when they are uploaded? Am I correct, the McCall's are at 500px, Butterick and Simplicity at 450px, and it looks like the Butterick and Simplicity that are sideways are at 650px?

Lisa

Yes, pretty much all sideways work well at 650px.  The large Vogue envelopes at 500px, also.

Where did I mention that??

Clearly expired listings can be removed.  Sometimes, there will be a case like yours, and it can be mildly frustrating, but there is no way for the person cleaning up the listings to know (they cannot see the listing details once the listing is expired)...

Thanks for you reply - it was quite a while ago, probably at least a year. I don't remember the specifics, but it was a question about removing listings. Your answer referred to links that were no longer viable, including sold and inaccurate websites but (and I may have not read it correctly) "unavailable" listings were OK to leave. Yes, it is frustrating to find my listing removed, and it happens so very often - almost eerily so! I tend to keep no more than a few expired listings in my shop so it is very noticable when they are removed. It's fine ... I can deal with it, and sorry if I misunderstood; but like I said, it seems so odd that my expired listings are removed so very quickly! :-) Have a good week ahead!

... and to make it official: We should absolutely remove all "unavailable" (expired) listings? Thanks-

Thank you for understanding.  There are so many out-of-date links, the clean-ups are sadly necessary.

OK! Will pass this on to my Etsy team members, I know some of them have wondered this in the past, too. 

Hi there!

I have corrected it for you:)

Lisa

I left this message for Tarna as well so it might be fixed before you get there.

Thank you! 

You are quite welcome:)

How did you fix it?

You had it as a thumbnail picture. I just removed the word "thumb" out of there and added 450px.

When I clicked on it, it stated it was "Unavailable". There was no mention about the shop being in vacation or temporarily closed.

I do check this stuff when removing these expired, sold, closed shop links, etc. I would never purposely remove someone's link, but I have to say these dead links to patterns is really out of control. Tarna has too much to do when it comes to this Wikia, so I am being nice to help her out! No one should take it personally!

This is the link that I removed,

https://www.etsy.com/listing/294459099/vintage-50s-simplicity-4213-misses-scoop RomasMaison from that listing and this shop is not in vacation mode.

I am sorry! I am human!

The amount of unsold and expired links on this Wikia is crazy! We agree to remove them when we start putting them on here! I am guilty as well, but trying to get things cleaned up. I have put a lot of time into this!!! Buyers probably get a little frustrated to find the pattern they are looking for to only find that it is out of stock!

If this is the link that you are talking about, this comes up a blank page when I look it.
