Appeal disabled listings due to Etsy's Creativity Standard

Jump to solution

Hi,

 
I am a print on demand seller.
Since yesterday I had 6 ceramic mugs listings - all with Fathers Day SEO - deactivated by Etsy for [supposed] Etsy's Creativity Standard violations.
All designs are my original designs.

In the meantime, I received a message about losing the Star Seller badge for which I worked hard.
The Etsy Support  agent I contacted yesterday was not able to clarify what is happening, what should I eventually change to comply 100%, all their answers were only template type answers.

I want to 100% follow all Etsy's rules.
Please help me with the procedure for filling an appeal, as the email from which I received the messages is a no-reply one and I cannot find any dedicated email address.

Thank you,
Olivia

If you use a POD company, all artwork on your listings must be your original designs. Not downloaded for free or purchased online, not from Canva or any other place. 

Reindeer, blue birds, pandas and more - have you personally created these images? I found them online in just one click.

you can email etsy asking for more help, here:  (i dug this off my seller dashboard, go down to 'help - contact us- etc - until you find "i need more help" and find the email link, this link may be tagged to my personal seller account, so you may have to go looking on your own dashboard for the link, apologies)

https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?segment=selling&ticket_form_id=360000108008#issue_missin...

you can ask for a call back from etsy to escalate your case, here:

callback feature:
https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?segment=selling#issue_sell_manage_listings-callback

if you are a star seller, you may have access to their chat feature.... also an option... although only 'canned copy&paste' responses
