How to get away with non handmade

How to get away with non handmade items on Etsy? There is a huge market, but how do people get away selling non-handmade? Because I tried to sell literally not even name brand clothes on there, nothing risky and they suspended me because it wasn't handmade.

If you got suspended right away it's probably because another user reported you for some reason, probably a competitor.

What was the item you tried to sell ?

non handmade clothes is fine,you may have put it in the wrong category

handmade must be made by you or someone who WORKs for you.
If it is made by someone who is not you or your employee,it would be removed.

What category do I put it in?

I was literally just posting my no name brand wholesale clothing. Also haven't tried to sell in over a year bc every time I made a new account they linked and suspended it :(

To get back on etsy list support products first so they see that you are listing non handmade and after a period of time switch to the clothing.
