After many, many requests in the forums, admin has added “USD” underneath the item price in listings!
You can chime in on this Storque article, or this forum thread.
From the Storque article:
Published on January 8, 2008 in Etsy News
We have added “USD” to the item listing pages. Enjoy!
We will be considering adding this change to other pages of Etsy in the coming months.
Thanks for your patience while we have been working on this change!

“Thanks for your patience while we have been working on this change!”
Holy cow, it must have taken almost 10 minutes for someone to come up with that. I’m astounded 20 people and 3 designers were able to manage that in only a couple of years.

Darn, right after the first of the year I made an avatar with USD $ on it, but I got sick and never uploaded it. Oh well. And, uh, it may be legal but it looks even goofier than the S’s and apostrophes, WHY didn’t they just use a font, the same one as the dollar sign is in would have been very appropriate.

I appreciate that the change has FINALLY been made…..but as for thankyou thankyou thankyou…ah, no. The whole thing was handled so poorly, with little communication from Admin and when it finally was implemented, we get “enjoy!”. Like they’ve added some groovy new flash toy for us?
Quite frankly, the lack up information given by Admin on this and other issues truly astounds me, especially when their customers are practically begging. This ‘be patient’ attitude is patronising and not one that sits well with me at all.
As for telling us after this change has been made that they sat down and tried to come up with a solution after the previous 2000+ post thread on USD…..well why not tell us that?!?!?! Why not communicate that between Admins so that the information we are given is accurate?
The change that has been made would have taken very little time and it is completely disappointing that it was not made prior to Nov/Dec. It is disappointing that it was not made after the first, second, third etc etc etc thread on the topic, especially when there is absolutely no downside to it.
