Hello. I'm new to Etsy. I haven't had any sales yet. But Etsy is removing my listings for violating their policy. As if my product contains small objects and could pose a choking hazard to the baby. When this happened for the first time 8 days ago, I wrote to them asking them to contact me and explain what was wrong. But an automatic response came. “Bottle propping devices, embellished baby bottles and embellished pacifiers, even when sold for novelty purposes. • Teething items containing small parts, such as small blocks or beads as defined by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.” I removed potentially dangerous large beads from a sensory cube for kids. Although these beads were attached securely and all sellers of similar products use such beads. I completely disagreed with such deactivation, but I wanted to continue with Etsy. All sellers of Sensory Cubes have these beads. They are large, secured and cannot come off and harm the baby. I have seen other listings for dangerous beads that can get into a baby's mouth and these listings are active. I decided not to argue and completely redid everything. I have completely changed the Sensory Cube and made a new listing with new photos and a new product description. But today it happened again. Etsy removed my Sensory Cube listing again with the same comment about violating sales policy that the beads are dangerous, even though they aren't there anymore! The product is brand new yet it was removed for something it did not have! Also today Etsy deleted my listing with a very simple product - a baby rattle - a teether. Etsy wrote that the sales policy was violated with the same comment. The rattle was made out of a solid fabric with little to no detail attached, attached to a teether. I did not receive their private response when I contact them through the help form. I think this is a mistake, but I already have 3 deactivated listings. I'm very worried my account could be suspended. What is happening and how can I change it? How do I contact Etsy so that they can really intervene in this situation? I also think this could be a complaint from a competitor? I'm desperate. Please help me with advice. What am I doing wrong? ... View more

I need help!  I have called etsy multiple times and have been sent to "higher ups"  I made my first sale over 25 days ago but I still don't have a dollar availble for deposit? I have a 600$ total balance but none of it is availble for deposit?  The people on the phone say that it's weird I should have had a deposit by now.. They say they will help me by sending me to higher ups but the "higher ups" seem to be just bots repeatedly saying "funds are available for deposit 14days after a purchase"  It's been well over 14 days I have no funds available but I have a balance!?  Why isn't any of my money being released to me!?!  Please help it's so frustrating that etsy says they will help but no help has been given I don't under stand  Ps I no money in a reserve  ...
