All they care about is money and power. Sellers give Etsy the power, have you not read the forums with sellers gushing over Etsy like it's a member of their family. So blame the sellers for feeding this monster.Heavenly Creatures Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02055690289006730774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209990731950560189.post-82436229509929290412013-05-14T21:15:22.534+01:002013-05-14T21:15:22.534+01:00Hello Ang,
I'm so sorry to hear that you have ...Hello Ang,<br />I'm so sorry to hear that you have had problems with Etsy too. It is ridiculous how they are penalising genuine sellers. Etsy suspended my shop until i had provided them with a full, in-depth tutorial on how I make my miniatures. Naturally due to the risk of being copied, I refused. Eliza from Etsy refused to supply me with any information on why I had been accused of not making my own miniatures and also told me that I would not be allowed too make any purchases on Etsy! I then did a Google search on Etsy complaints and was horrified at what I was reading, so I decided that I wouldn't fight to keep my Etsy shop open and I closed it.<br /><br />I hope that you have had some answers from Etsy, it is ridiculous to say you have relisted something when you had actually deleted it some days earlier. I just cant understand why they act the way they do. <br /><br />Julia Julia and Hywelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132024429486051350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209990731950560189.post-49436505348087792192013-05-12T14:22:21.405+01:002013-05-12T14:22:21.405+01:00So sorry to hear this.

I have been accused of relisting an item which I was informed about a month ago was in violation of copyright policies. The item in question was deactivated by Etsy at that time. I requested further information from both parties and then deleted the item from my shop altogether so it has not been relisted. I have asked Etsy to explain how a deleted item could have been found again and for them to reopen my shop, so far I have heard nothing. I have had so much faith in Etsy during my 3 years here and honestly thought after I had contacted them several times I would have an answer and a resolution, but nothing yet<br /><br />I was contacted by Etsy on May 9, 2013 that the item was deactivated due to copyright infringement and because I was notified previously they closed my shop. This same item was deleted by me in April 2013. This is insane. <br /><br />Thank you for listening. Just thought I would reach out and find out if you ever got any good news.

I really don't know why Esty are acting that way, surely they want brilliant artists such as yourself selling on their site. Very short sighted on their part. <br /><br />It's probably best in the long run to have your own store as at least it gives you more control. The link you put up to it above isn't working though. <br /><br />Best Wishes<br />Jane x<br /><br />Jane Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13400396758944806360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209990731950560189.post-87695015957043022252013-03-19T23:18:18.559+00:002013-03-19T23:18:18.559+00:00You make me glad I didn't take the recent etsy...You make me glad I didn't take the recent etsy offer to open a shop for free.
