Permanently closed my Etsy account but I owe £100 can I just not pay?
Quite annoying because the fees are from listing today, and I got my account permanently closed today.. so I’d rather not pay the fees, it’s only £100 I owe are they likely to send it to collections / debt collectors over it? Rather just forget about it if it’s unlikely / if they send a warning before sending collectors. I’m willing to pay if it gets to that point.
I accidentally listed an old item I previously received a violation for, which was Nazi related (I sell ww2 models in bulk) I forgot to remove it from my list, which then resulted in this email:
This is a message from Etsy's Content Moderation team. We're getting in touch to inform you that Etsy has elected to revoke your account privileges permanently, due to your shop's repeat violations of our Prohibited Items Policy.
Our records indicate that we've contacted you before about violations of Etsy's policies in your shop. In our correspondences, we made it clear that any future violations of our selling policies would result in the permanent closure of your shop and all of your related Etsy accounts.
We don't make such decisions without great consideration, but your account's history of policy violations has brought us to the conclusion that our business relationship must now come to a close.
If you have open unfulfilled orders, we ask that you refund them as soon as possible. Although you still have access to your shop manager and orders, you will need to sign into your Etsy account on a computer. Due to your account suspension, you will not be able to access your account through the Sell on Etsy app or a mobile browser.
If you do not refund open orders within the stated processing time for each order, Etsy reserves the right to refund buyers on your behalf, and you will owe Etsy all accrued debts.
