As an Etsy Seller for 2 years, I have always followed Etsys rules and policies. I was a Star Seller; made all of my products myself; and my business was starting to grow. I had heard for months from several other sellers that they had been kicked off without explanation from Etsy. I thought to myself "they must have violated some rule or policy but I'll be fine because I'm following the rules". One morning I woke up to find an email from Etsy stating my acct had been suspended, without explanation. In disbelief, I filled out the form to try to get the suspension lifted... even though I had no idea why it was suspended to begin with. The following day I was told my shop would not be reinstated and the suspension was permanent. Again, there was no explanation at all. So, I certainly can't recommend Etsy to Sellers and these type of practices imact buyers as well. I suggest you look for other marketplaces
