Here's what you should be investigating -- how many of those banned shops have funds stuck "temporarily" on hold. Two days ago my funds showed they were being deposited, now two days later they are back to being on hold. At what point is Etsy committing fraud by not releasing funds? I am beyond the 30 days for returns, I do not owe Etsy any fees, they have no reason to withhold my funds. And Etsy will not respond to help requests, they just close them out with no response. How much do all those funds of suspended shops add up to?

[sandfayreacts]

Sir…no seller should have to wait 30 days to receive their money, especially if the customer has received their order, and left a positive feedback.

So what if someone opens a shop, pays $15 then gets suspended? Thousands of people could pay $15 then Etsy suspends them all and makes a small fortune with no refunds? Ridiculous

I wouldn't trust Etsy as far as I could throw them and I sell on Etsy. Any suspended shop should be given a good reason why or refunded $15 if they're suspended, that would be the right thing to do but it ain't never gonna happen! 😡

It’s funny because the one rule that people say is not to save or put your ID online. This is how a lot of identifying theft happens especially if the company is data breached by hackers.

I have been a seller on Etsy for almost 10 years. Woke up a week ago to my shop being " currently supended". No e-mail to explain why...just a banner saying I'm suspended and for me to appeal. So I did, still waiting to hear something. I am slowly becoming fed up with Etsy and their shenanigans! I just want my shop back man.

[WingsDippedInBlood]

$15 fee to set up...% off every sale, fee for posting..fee for postage. So the shops they shut down without warning are gonna have to pay a fee to get their shop back?

[wendys]

I think the 15 is ok...if they fix the customer service issues. They shouldn't be able to blanket ban without client contact if we are paying to set up. You would think the 15.00 would be enough to add some live service agents.

[journeytoawareness]

If they are really sincere they would do this for all shops, including those already in place. I would consider selling on ETSY if they would be more transparent about why they banded a shop and the amounts and time frames for withheld funds. The other thing is for them to get rid of the stores selling unlicensed copyright items and mass produced cheap imports.

[DoneDashing]

I was one of the lucky ones who has been suspended. I submitted an appeal. Within 30 seconds, I had a reply that they would not reactivate my account. I thoroughly went through my account looking for any policy that i may have broken and found nothing wrong, so idk why i was suspended 🤬

[marielavillaverde]

the problem with the set up fee is that they shut you down and dont tell you why and keep the $15. If they would just refund it if they shut it down, it wouldn't feel like they just took it from you.

[stacyyoung]

"trusted place to shop" but were letting temu on the platform, which is totally untrustworthy.

[Kozette]

I opened less than a month ago and had to pay $15. It’s the nature of doing business but don’t hold my money after sales.

[susanravella]

Your info and photo will certainly be sold and passed along to other interested parties. Still sound "safe and nice" to those of you who think it's a solution?

[DarekBirton]

I am opposed to this because they are asking for too much personal identification information including SSN. This is a private enterprise that will have assess to too much information.

[ecouturehandmades]

The number of sales as a "its for real" marker is NOT good!
My own shops took YEARS to make 100 sales in each one.
If I hadn't been paid within a week at least, I would have been bankrupt PDQ.
Not everyone sells 100's or 1000's of t-shirts or fishing garb...stuff a day (& some don't want to, either).
Keep Etsy as a side hustle possibility, please.

[serendipidy]

I closed my Etsy shops. My advice is. Get a domain, create a website with a woocommerce shop. That’s it. You own all.

[alfonsotech]

eBay is also doing this, just had my account shut down and I can't ever open anything again. No reason given, called and they coudln't explain anything. It's so tedious. They must be comparing against data they buy, and we have no way to know if that data is correct. What a world. Welcome to the age of tech tyrany.

[PaulaYvetteCreates]

With all the data breaches I’m concerned about them storing and retaining my information. Are they sharing our information to 3rd parties?

[glenjones]

I was considering opening an etsy shop. I will stick with what I already have. Thanks for the heads up.

[Canoby]

The verification stuff and the $15 registration fee doesn't bother me; I just hope we get better communication on their sell expectations as well as some kind of actual support when they do run into violations (that is, they give the seller a chance to correct these issues before banning people).
