Ever wish you could copy a listing to relist it before it sells?

I have been hoping for Etsy to create a way to relist an item that you have duplicates of. Not an item that has sold, just an item you may have 2, 3 or 10 of. The old way has been to copy and paste, but was very time consuming. So a very thoughtful Etsian husband came up with lots of ways to make our lives easier. This is just one of many.

Here's the link to etsyhacks and the copy directions: http://etsyhacks.com/greasemonkey/copy_listing/

Don't forget to check the site out...It has other helpful options like:
copy listing - create a new listing based on an existing one.
item zoom - adds a zoom icon to images in search and shop listings.
edit this item - edit or delete a listing from the View Listing page.
buyer info - add extra information to the "buyer" box on a receipt page.
forum wrangler - add extra features to the Etsy forum pages.

Here are tools he's built using the new Etsy API to help you get more information about your shop.
RSS Feedback - get an RSS or Atom feed for your Etsy user feedback.
Where Am I? - find where you shop appears in a search.
Shop Value - how much is your inventory worth?
Shop CSV - download your current listings in CSV format to load into a spreadsheet.


Other developers are hard at work building useful things for Etsy sellers and buyers. Here are a few of them:
Heartomatic from CraftCult - see who hearts your shop and items.
Etsyfeeder - manage your favourites.
Lets Ets - Google Base formatter, and a custom Etsy search tool.
Featsy - notifcations when your products are featured.

Hope this helps to give you more free time!
