In this thread, Etsy admin wonderamy announced,
Last night, we launched a new version of team.etsy.com.
It is not the long-awaited NEW Teams section - but it is an improvement on what was already there, and is a better organized solution while we wait for the expanded future Teams section. Sarawearsskirts and I are busily working on a bunch of guides and tools to help Teams promote themselves and their members’ shops this Holiday season, and the new design will accommodate those offerings.
Your Team profile pages have not changed much yet, aside from the Etsy header graphics being replaced (your team graphic is still there).
There is now an email signup on the front page of the Teams section. If you are on an Etsy Team, please sign up for a weekly email! We want to keep you in the loop with all of the Teams-related updates, tips, surprises and news for the season.
And….there is a letter from us to you about an exciting new Etsy project for Teams that is launching very soon. Click the links under “Etsy Teams and the Holidays” to get the breaking news.

Cool, nice new design!
Why is the teams page still so hard to find? Hopefully they’ll put a link more prominently, up top. The microscopic link at the bottom of the pages says ‘Team’ which makes one think Staff Members, not Etsy Teams.

I agree with you that ‘Team’ makes people think ‘Staff’ - I hope they’ll change that soon. :(

So.. I’m still wondering!! Rhetorically, that is.
Why is this huge section of the site so hidden?
How many Etsy users really know about the team site?? I guess it’s only for sellers, but … it could be linked quite a bit more visibly.. and I’m clueless as to why they haven’t done so.
