Account Suspensions & Appeals
Why is my Etsy account or shop suspended?
Etsy suspends accounts for policy risks (non-handmade/resale, prohibited items), IP complaints, linked accounts or identity mismatch, payment/billing problems, unusual activity, or poor customer metrics. Review the notice from Trust & Safety (check spam), audit your shop, and fix the exact issue before appealing.
How do I find out the reason for my Etsy suspension?
Look for an email from Trust & Safety and check your Help Center inbox. If the message is broad or missing, open a support ticket requesting the specific violation code and evidence needed for review.
How do I appeal an Etsy suspension successfully?
Write a Plan of Action with: (1) root cause, (2) corrective steps already taken, (3) prevention going forward, and (4) attached proof (invoices, brand permissions, QC/SOPs, shipping logs). Submit via the Help Center and send a single polite follow-up after ~14 days if you don’t hear back.
Pro tip: Avoid emotional language. Keep it factual, concise, and evidence-driven.
My Etsy appeal was denied. What should I do next?
Do not resend the same text. Strengthen evidence (e.g., supplier credentials, authorization letters, clearer SOPs), expand preventive controls, and address each point from the denial before resubmitting.
Can I open a new Etsy account after suspension?
No. Creating a new account violates Etsy policy and is often auto-linked and closed. Your best option is reinstating the original account with a complete, well-documented appeal.
How long do Etsy appeals take?
Reviews can take days to weeks. One follow-up after ~14 days is reasonable. Multiple messages can delay processing.
Payments, Payouts & Verification
Why are my Etsy funds or payouts on hold?
During reviews, Etsy may pause disbursements. Ensure your bank and identity are fully verified and that your appeal addresses the underlying policy or risk trigger causing the hold.
What does “bank account not verified” mean and how do I fix it?
It means your payment profile isn’t fully confirmed. Update bank info, upload requested documents (ID, business registration), and confirm name/address match your account details before reappealing.
Listings, Handmade Rules & Intellectual Property
What counts as “handmade” on Etsy?
Handmade items must be designed and made by you (or a disclosed production partner). Reselling mass-produced goods under “handmade” is a common suspension trigger.
I got an IP complaint (trademark/copyright/patent). What now?
Remove the listing, assess the claim, and gather proof (original designs, licenses, permissions). If you have rights, prepare a response or counter-notice where appropriate. If you don’t, avoid relisting and adjust SOPs to prevent repeats.
How do I know if an item is prohibited on Etsy?
Review Etsy’s prohibited-items policy (e.g., dangerous materials, certain regulated goods). When in doubt, don’t list it—ask support first or seek legal guidance.
Orders, Shipping & Customer Cases
Which customer metrics can hurt my Etsy account?
Late shipments, cancellations, and unresolved cases are major risk signals. Use trackable shipping, proactive messaging, and fast resolutions to maintain strong metrics.
How should I handle an open case from a buyer?
Respond quickly with solutions (replacement, refund, partial credit). Document communications and tracking. Closely monitor repeat causes and fix the underlying issue.
Buyer FAQs
My buyer account was suspended—what should I do?
Check for an email explaining the reason (payment mismatch, unusual activity). Verify identity and payment details, then open a ticket requesting review if you didn’t receive a clear notice.
How do I shop safely on Etsy?
Buy from well-reviewed shops, read listing details, ask pre-purchase questions, and use Etsy checkout. Seek returns/resolutions through Etsy if needed.
