I signed up to open an Etsy shop and paid the £10 setup fee, only to have my account permanently banned within hours – with no explanation, no evidence, and no chance to appeal. They cited a vague “policy violation” without ever telling me what I supposedly did wrong. No service was provided, yet they kept my money. This feels like a dishonest and unethical practice – taking payment and immediately blocking access without justification. I've contacted Etsy multiple times, requested a refund, and received nothing but automated, finalised responses. Their support is completely unaccountable, and they refuse to explain their actions or return the setup fee. Avoid this platform if you value transparency, fair treatment, or actual customer support.
