Literally just had the same thing happen to me. Opened shop, added one shirt I made, ate dinner, shop suspended. UGH!

[@artificialalien9597]

I came here because same just happened to me... Wanted to finally step out of my comfort zone and make an etsy store... Boom after taking the time making 2 different listings and began working on a 3rd- suspended. No email, no text message- they expected ME to reach out for answers... Instead of saying "hey remove blah blah blah because of blah blah blah-" insane...

[@SecretsofancientEgypt]

I have had issues with them too. Just posted my first listing, and it went directly to deactivation, even though I haven't violated any policies.. Not a great place for newcomers in 2022 if you ask me. And I even took a course from a big Etsy seller... so Thumbs down.. not taking a class/course on this again.. But all the work I put into my listing and products.. darn it.. feel kinda stupid for doing it now...

[@cecetn3383]

They have a history of doing this to people. I literally just opened a Esty store, I didn't even have any listings at all. They deactivated my store and I hadn't even started yet. No email, no explanation, no nothing. It would still be that way if I didn't reach out to them. I'm still going to try and start a shop. But I certainly look at Esty a different way now.

[@thehyaco]

Yes, similar experience here. I'm assuming they have an automated system that does it but it definitely needs improving. I hope all goes well with your shop!🤎

[@iamannaliv]

Now how did you reach out to them ??? By email ??? That has happened to my shop and I’m frustrated 😏😩

[@rufaigambousman9895]

Same here Dudu but lucky enough I got mine reactivate by someone I suggest you send him a request I’m sure he can be of help.

I think Canva is the problem.Theres alot of people on youtube showing how to do these easy ass, basic designs thats pre-made and Its copyrighted by CANVA.Using their designs,Pro account or not is NOT for re-selling no matter how you switch them up . To open a store using canva is shaky.Etsy is always seeing the same type of CANVA designs because so many youtube channels point people right to Canva .They are making money from the video not from their etsy store doing these Canva methods.If so many people use Canva to design Planners and what not,how many times do you think etsy has seen the same old Canva art work?

[@SpodyStanesha]

Maybe on your candle website feature digital products now available with the link to redirect them

[@thehyaco]

Yes, that's definitely a great idea, thank you!🤎

I opened my Etsy account on 8/23/22 at 6:00 am and posted 16 greeting cards that I designed. I left home and went to work at 7:00 am. When I returned home at 6:00 pm later that day, my Etsy Account was temporary suspended for no reason and without explanation. the frustrating thing is there is no way to contact them to ask why

I’m not a seller on Etsy but I can’t buy anything on Etsy anymore after leaving a 5 star review, I don’t understand what I did wrong

[@jordanloophole]

it's their payment processing system is getting sus and buggy. i also have order from my shop gets pending and cancelled automatically. i also got a pending order after buying from a different shop. their system is getting more buggy overtime. and it looks like they're not doing anything about it.

Same thing happened to me! BYE Etsy, im off to Shopify x

[@MechelleLeeBrooks]

I’ve been on etsy almost 3 years with no issues. I really like it. And no yo adding digital to your physical product website. It will make you look like a dollar store- make a second site.

[@thehyaco]

I'm happy you have a great experience with them, I know a lot of people really enjoy their platform and it can be a great source of income. I definitely agree, that was one of my concerns with adding digital products. Thanks for your help!🤎

[@TessieDobey]

Etsy never suspend anyone for no reason. Etsy deactivated one of listings because I made a claim that was medical!

@@rufaigambousman9895 yeah he's the best he grant me access to my suspend account also.

[@cecily3797]

Of course Etsy deactivates accounts for no reason, but it's more like a system failure, at least in cases where it deactivates within a few hours of creating it. Other youtubers have explained it

[@simplyblessed_]

I wanted to get my feet wet with Etsy and sell a few things on it BUT my two cousins use to sell on it and both told me not to that they are horrible so now idk where to sell my stuff at one told me wix and the other Shopify lol

[@thehyaco]

It definitely can be a tricky process especially with them deactivating accounts randomly but if you just wanna start out I would say use it since its the cheapest option out of the three, just in case you decide not to stick with it. But I think Shopify also has a free or cheap option for a website.
