Why are all discussions that contain a problem with vacation mode being closed as a topic?
I guess because all us other Sellers can do is speculate and sympathize. Only Etsy Support can help, and usually the closed thread message includes that the OP's situation was forwarded to the proper Support section.
It looks like Etsy is investigating the reasons.... or at least they've notified the correct team to investigate.
yes, - "looks like" but not.
Been like that for ages. It's like - nothing to see here, move along, or don't look behind the curtain. It's actually scary. I'm sorry this is happening to so many sellers, including yourself.
It is very concerning that this is happening to so many shops!
