Opened 7 days Got Banned. why?
 

Hey Guys
Here is what happened. I got one of my buddy to open an Etsy shop in his place. New PC, New Id, Ip and photos. received 5 orders in the first week and got one email from etsy says the product we sell do not meet the the policy of handmade. There are more than 100 sellers selling the same product as I do and they are safe for years. why?

Also, why did I get a warning first? Instead I got banned in the 7th days.:mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:

Security is typically tightened up during x-mas. On Ets/y, just like on any other big online market place, new accounts are more under surveillance than older accounts. New accounts won't be warned, they just get banned. Was your first order already through or was it still pending? Introduce your products carefully and slowly, don't rush. Start with the "more handmade" looking ones. Need to use new pictures.

As it has been mentioned heaps of times - beginning is the part where you need to be the most cautious. First items in your store MUST look handmade/vintage and have unique photos. Always keep asking yourself - could my store pass manual product review? Don't make it difficuly for yourself and don't list too many items in the early days of your new store.
