Gladiator won't be able to respond to you. They were booted off the forum.

Why was gladiator booted? They helped me get back up and running a while ago

Dont know, sorry.

I just read another post that showed what a member that got suspended did but it will mean opening another store all together. We were banned for false trademark reports so I'm not sure about my store opening as easily but I've heard that you can file an appeal to them to let them know you are aware of the mistakes made, and show steps you plan to take to avoid making those same mistakes in the future and that they'll usually give you a chance.

Try going to the sellers account area and there should be a section that says "Account Suspended" and File an appeal.

Hope this helps. It's really a violating feeling to just log in and have your income slaughtered. I really hate that they have that much control. If you had a good standing with some of the customers, you could maybe open a SHOPIFY store, link it to instagram and facebook, and hint to them that you're moving and have them follow you there. At least you'll have more control over your store.

Sorry to hear that! That's rough. Before you do anything I'd make a list of what you'd do differently to avoid this happening again. I would definitely appeal as worst thing they'll say is no.

I can’t appeal and can’t figure out how to get back on.

Gladiator was knowledgeable about this platform very well - too bad, don't know what happened

Re: Will Etsy ever lift my ban? Is there any way to get around it?
 

I'm sorry this happened to you. I went through it too. The first thing you need to get past is that once you are banned it is forever.
The faster you can get past that the better. I moped around and emailed etsy for almost 5 months before realizing it was futile.:faint:
And my account was perfect. The only reason my shop was closed is because I shared an isp with my husband who had a small shop selling acrylic signs. He was tagged for a sign that had a Transformer logo and he ignored the email so they banned him.
My shop was completely separate and I never got an email but it didn't matter to etsy.
So be pissed and upset but get past it and start strategizing to open a new shop. You won't be able to list the same stuff or use the same pics. You will basically be a whole new person doing similar but not identical stuff. Pay up your final bill with etys and close your account. In the mean time buy the stealth book and study everything it says and in time you will get back on. :dance:

You need new bank, ip address, new name, address, new browser,
new s.s. and maybe documents if you live in u.s.

What do you mean new name ?

Thank you

Re: Will Etsy ever lift my ban? Is there any way to get around it?
 

Read ebay stealth guide it will answer that question and the options. If you are selling non infringing items I would recommend reaching out too a family member and getting permission to sell on one of their accounts.

Re: Will Etsy ever lift my ban? Is there any way to get around it?
 

Hi Gladiator would you be able to PM me with some assistance on best way to create a new safe stealth account and what I need to do.

Dont waist your time. go and make a stealth account.

Re: Will Etsy ever lift my ban? Is there any way to get around it?
 

Hi gladiator
I’m new to this site and have read you’ve been very helpful in helping those whose Etsy accounts were terminated to get started again?

I would love your help
We got closed down today due to copyright infringement and I really loved selling on Etsy. I really want to know what I need to do to start a new account. Please contact me.
It would be greatly appreciated

Re: Will Etsy ever lift my ban? Is there any way to get around it?
 

My Etsy account was suspended for low ODR. I want to open a stealth account and want to know how much it cost? I can't find much info. for Etsy stealth account here. Any responds or help is much appreciated.

Re: Will Etsy ever lift my ban? Is there any way to get around it?
 

how much is your ODR and for what?

Re: Will Etsy ever lift my ban? Is there any way to get around it?
 

Do you guys think that it would work if I purchased an etsy account from somebody, some random person out there. A preexisting account and then besides changing the password obviously, i changed the bank account to my own. And that's it. And then I put the same listings as before and what not.

Re: Will Etsy ever lift my ban? Is there any way to get around it?
 

Gladiator,

Can you please pm me, I would love your help and some advice on setting up stealth properly.

I can't pm you until i get 10 posts...
