I've been on Etsy from 2007, and although the listing process has come a long way - there is still a lot of automation to be desired if you have a lot of listings in your shop. I was so happy the day I discovered the now defunct
Sadly, a few months ago I got an email from Etsy saying they were no longer supporting Betsi. Booooo. Sure enough, right after the service went down I found a typo in my listings (ouch!). Clicking on each listing and manually changing it was not something I was ready to sign up for, so I shopped around for alternatives.
I tried ShopShaper, which worked well enough. However, I found it a little too easy to push changes live, resulting in my accidentally inserting some text twice. I had to go back and manually change my listings to remove it, so I decided to keep looking.
I took a brief look at Zetsy, but I didn't find its interface friendly and after a few minutes of confused clicking, I moved on. Now frustrated that I was sinking my morning into finding a replacement for Betsi, which was working fine.

Finally I stumbled upon Hive, which went live today. I've signed up and played around with the editor, and it all seems very smooth and easy to use. So far I've only changed some pricing, soon I'll play around with the text editors soon and update this review with my thoughts.
Have you tried Hive or any other bulk listing editors for Etsy? I would love to hear your experience.
