Etsy suspension appeals — what actually helped you?

[EtsySellerTools]

I’ve been reading a lot of Etsy suspension and appeal experiences here, and I’m curious about something.

When your shop was suspended, what did you do before submitting your appeal?

Did you review your listings, remove anything questionable, prepare documents, explain what you changed, or simply submit an explanation?

I’m working on a small tool that helps sellers organize this information before submitting an appeal. I’m trying to build it around real seller experiences rather than assumptions.

If you’ve dealt with an Etsy suspension, what do you think sellers most often get wrong when preparing an appeal?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experience.
