Listings getting inactive
 

My previous etsy shop was suspended. Some how I tried to create a new etsy store and added 15 new listing. I sell digital downloads(wall art etc) I have observed that if I add(upload) my old files to the listing, it get automatically deactivated... what should I change in the file which I want to upload..

you pretty much have to get creative. they scan all images of items deactivated and the system will automatically take it down ( I know I have tested a dozen times ). you will have to obfuscate the image/design in a way that does not resemble the original design used. put the design on an object or figure out a way to display it that differentiates from the removed/deactivated listings. whatever you do DONT reactivate the ones etsy did.

I have altered the images the images are not getting detected by the system.. but the files that I want to upload are getting detected.. I also tried removing personal detail from the files.. when I upload a different file the listing remains active but when I upload the same file it gets detected..what changes do I need to make in the zip folder that I want to upload..

I manually delete personal information from the zip folder.
I don't use any software. What software should I use and how.
