Etsy is working on a solution to the problems that Mac Safari users are having trying to upload images.
In this forum thread, Revolving Dork says:
Last week we implemented a change on the photo uploading pages that prevented users from clicking the “upload” button more than once. This was done because pressing the button multiple times sends the same data multiple times, slowing down the file transfer and eating up server resources.
There is a bug in some versions of Safari that prevents uploads from going through after the upload button is clicked. In the past, sellers got around this bug by hammering the “upload” button until it worked. Now, this is no longer an option.
We have developed a workaround for Safari’s bug, and it appears to have resolved the issue, at least in our tests. If you’re still having issues, it may be best to use an alternate free browser for file uploads on Etsy. You should have no issues using Opera ( www.opera.com ) or Firefox ( www.getfirefox.com ).
Let us know if you are still having issues with image uploads — If you are, please post the following info:
1. The version number of Mac OS you’re using
2. The generation/type of Mac you’re using ( G3 , G4, Intel Core 2 Duo )
3. The version number of Safari you’re usingThank you for your help!
If you are using Safari and still having trouble uploading images, please post in this forum thread and give your input.
