Your Etsy account has been suspended for policy violation
 

One of my shops got suspended just minutes after opening. I didn't even have a chance to add any listings or finish setting up the shop.
Has anyone else experienced this?

what policy did you violate?

Re: Your Etsy account has been suspended for policy violation
 

They probably linked you to one of your other accounts. Since you hadn't even listed anything yet.

Re: Your Etsy account has been suspended for policy violation
 

All my other shops are fine and sound

It's probably helpful if you listed your steps for account setup.

Re: Your Etsy account has been suspended for policy violation
 

Maybe they didn't like your registration details. I don't see what else it could be, since you hadn't listed anything yet.

in such cases it is usually anti fraud , look for problems in ip , computer , browser , registration details etc.

How long ago ?
Is there anyone else using your card,ID,phone etc?
From Etsy site-
Not create duplicate shops or take any other action (such as manipulating clicks, carts or sales) for the purpose of shilling, manipulating search or circumventing Etsy's policies.
Dupicate shop could be a reason.

Not enough details - phone, IP, address, etc needed to be discussed.

Anyhow, seems like everyone is asking more info from you

Re: Your Etsy account has been suspended for policy violation
 

All my current shops were set up in the past couple of weeks.
And the answer to all of the above is no.

Re: Your Etsy account has been suspended for policy violation
 

A few of my other shops were set up using the same methods and they're still up and running with this being the only one that's been suspended. If one of the things mentioned above was the issue wouldn't all of my shops have been suspended? Or am I missing something?

Missing quite a bit of details - what phone service used? What address info? IP provider etc

Re: Your Etsy account has been suspended for policy violation
 

may be there is a max of number of shops one can open on Etsy,then I did not see any such rule

Re: Your Etsy account has been suspended for policy violation
 

They don't always instantly link accounts sometimes can be months later

Usually if one of the surviving accounts gets flagged for something they'll link it then then shut it down

Etsy are very very hard work when it comes to suspending accounts there is almost zero ways to get around it

Re: Your Etsy account has been suspended for policy violation
 

Maybe gnettuno, you can create another account "in the same way" and see what happens to be able to target the cause.
