Earlier this year, we let you know that we’d be investing in keeping our marketplace to keep it a safe and secure destination for handmade, vintage, and special items. We also let you know that we’d be expanding our efforts to remove listings that don't meet our policies.
One important way we’re doing this: making it easier to register your brand and report listings that you suspect may violate your intellectual property rights.
That’s where our new Etsy Reporting Portal comes in. This convenient, powerful, and supportive tool helps you register and protect your brand in five steps, then view all of your intellectual properties and reports in one place. You can use keywords to search millions of listings, then browse, compile, and report any suspected infringing listings to our dedicated team. And once reported, our Trust & Safety team will review and take action if necessary, and inform you of the result.
There’s more good news: Brands that don’t currently sell on Etsy will be using the portal, too. This will help us remove listings that violate brand rights and don't meet our policies, ensuring that Etsy remains a safe, trusted place to purchase unique and handmade items.
