Etsy Suspended My Shop Chiyacrafts
I’m writing this to share my disappointing experience with Etsy as a seller of handmade home decor products under my shop Chiyacrafts My Etsy account was recently suspended without any prior warning. The reason given was “policy violation”, but Etsy never specified what exact policy was violated. I reached out to their Trust & Safety team through the appeal process, but I received a generic rejection without any transparency or clarity. What’s more frustrating is that my pending payments were not released, despite fulfilling all orders properly and maintaining quality service. I invested a lot of time, energy, and resources into building my shop, promoting my handmade products, and ensuring a good customer experience. If the issue was related to product photos or visuals, I want to clarify that I used either my original content or similar styling that's common across many Etsy shops. I tried my best to follow the rules, but Etsy has given me no chance to correct or clarify anything. This lack of support and communication is deeply discouraging for small creators and handmade businesses like mine. Etsy should provide transparent feedback and a fair opportunity for genuine sellers. I hope Etsy improves its seller support policies. Until then, I cannot recommend the platform to new or small artisans trying to grow honestly. Chiyacrafts
