Etsy deactivated
 

At a loss with etsy, thought I had figured out my 'issues' but whilst listing some more items on an account that has been running for a week I get deactivated during listing.
Items are popular but not vero, all new images, new VCC, new email. The Amazon I created with same info is running smoothly... It's a head-scratcher.

If you don't mind me asking what were you trying to sell? I personally sold on ESTY years ago trying to sell some phone cases and I did for about four months! Before either a competitor on there decided to turn me into Esty or they just did some random check, but they shut me down and told me that the products I had to sell on there would have to be homemade and or not made from A manufacture.

Anyways, it was very short-lived for me on there is wasn't really to make tons of money anyways, it was more than less a test.

Also, another thing that you might need to look into it is to have a different user account on your computer with a brand-new fresh IP address that has never been used on Esty this also might your problem

Hi, thanks for your reply :)
Items are homemade that I do, but it is quite a popular category mostly with US sellers. Although, it happened whilst I was listing so don't think they would have been active for other members to report.
But I think you are on to something, been researching and I am wondering if I have made my listing look too professional rather than 'one person handmade' store.

Keep us posted. I'm starting to sell on etsy now because of the new eBay policy 20 free listings a month BS

Well I bet that is what got you canned a long time ago (competitors turning you in/making false reports), and now there is some link that etsy is getting you with. After all, they aren't reviewing the content of your listings WHILE you create them...they are reviewing you.

Something is still causing a link.

I got this resolved with a simple email, I knew i couldn't be linked (unless etsy is more advanced than eb and amz which I knew wasn't the case).
I have found entropay to not work well.

The problem was using entropay?

Re: Etsy deactivated
 

Not this particular time, I have found since the new year entro pay not working, deactivated within 15 minutes. I think it's better with VCC that have avs.

Why not just use gift card so you can also pay fees that way? Maybe I'm missing something cause it looks like you're running UK accounts.
