I submitted an appeal and unfortunately got an email saying:

"After a thorough review of your appeal and all relevant information, we regret to inform you that your appeal has been denied."

The suspension happened almost immediately after opening the shop. I didn’t even get a chance to add any listings or finish setting everything up.
It is a stealth shop and I used the same setup as my other shops that are all fine.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Is there anything else I can do to get the account looked at again or possibly reinstated after the appeal has been denied?
Also does anyone know what happens to the £14 one-off shop set-up fee?Would I be able to ask for a refund? ]]> Etsy Discussions gnettuno https://www.aspkin.com/forums/etsy-discussions/154701-etsy-appeal-has-been-denied.html https://www.aspkin.com/forums/etsy-discussions/154700-your-etsy-account-has-been-suspended-policy-violation.html Sat, 03 Oct 2026 14:59:34 GMT 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.

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. ]]> Etsy Discussions EtsySellerTools https://www.aspkin.com/forums/etsy-discussions/154676-etsy-suspension-appeals-what-actually-helped-you.html
