Etsy Forum Trolls

Periodically I wander over to the Etsy Forum to see what discussions might be taking place or site bugs I should know about.

I noticed one day that my views shot up from about 75 to well over 400. I got several orders within a half hour. Then 500 and 600 views. Orders started to cha-ching all day and into the night.

Jelly and Jemima Featured on Pixable.com ! GAME CHANGER: You Can Buy Just The Lucky Charms Marshmallows… IN BULK! by  Mariel Loveland Posted on  March 31, 2015, 1:27 PM Anyone who has ever had that childhood dream of watching Saturday morning cartoons and snacking on a bowl of Lucky Charms sans the actual cereal, you can now enjoy that nostalgic, tooth-tickling sweetness you’ve been longing for. Lucky Charms marshmallows are available all by themselves — and even in bulk! Jelly And Jemima’ s cute little Etsy shop offers adorable mason jars filled with the sweets. They’re 100% General Mills Lucky Charms-branded marshmallows, and they’re all carefully picked out of the cereal in a commercial bakery with an A health rating.
