I opened my store a month ago. And suddenly Etsy closed it without any warning. I did not receive an email from Etsy (yes, I checked my spam folder). I have no clue what I did wrong. I was going to sell prints of my own photographs and artworks. It's not on the prohibited list. It's not a copyright issue - it's 100% my photos and my original artworks. I am very new to Etsy, I read the selling guide and followed it in detail. I had Etsy payments, About page, policy, photos, descriptions, no external links except to my other items on Etsy. I subscribed to eRank and Marmalead, services recommend by Etsy, to optimize my items. I did not use VPN. I don't see any reason for what I did wrong. I very politely asked Etsy about a reason for closing my store. And received from Etsy a very rude and offensive response (I copied it below). I understand that Etsy has the right to not accommodate any store on its platform but without any explanation do not allow me even BUYING on Etsy?!!! It is not fair. Not just in respect of me but in respect all other sellers on Etsy because now I cannot buy anything in their stores. Very disappointed. My recommendation to all new sellers: don't waste your time on Etsy. Your store can be closed at any moment without any explanation. ---------------------------------- ETSY response: After a close review of your account, my team and I have determined that we can no longer accommodate your business on Etsy. As a result, your account has been closed. Please do not open any additional accounts for buying or selling, as they will be closed without notice. This decision is final, and we will be unable to respond to any further outreach about your account. This email constitutes our final communication on this matter. Thank you for your attention to this. ----------------------------------
