When you're viewing your own items, this script adds a link to the "Edit Item" and "Delete Item" pages.
When you move your mouse over the "Edit this item" link, a drop-down menu appears allowing you to jump to a specific editing page (description, photos, etc.).
This hack was originally suggested by Catherine Dean of historicallyinspired.etsy.com.
- Install Firefox and Greasemonkey if you haven't already got them. You'll need to restart Firefox after installing Greasemonkey.
- Once Greasemonkey is installed and running, follow this link (or click on the orange "install" button above).
- The "edit this item" script will be downloaded, and Greasemonkey will ask if you want to install it. Assuming you trust me, click "Install".
- Log in to Etsy, and view one of your items, and there should be links to "edit" and "delete" in the right-hand panel.
- Move your mouse over the "Edit this item" link, and a drop-down menu should appear with links to jump directly to a specific editing page. Note that your browser will first go to the main "edit item" page (to put the listing in "edit" mode) and then redirect to the page you requested.
