@LarasThemeJewelry: You need to keep in mind that "violated Etsys creativity standards" can encompass much more than just if it is handmade and / or designed by you. The violation can be anything from a 'prohibited' word in your title, description, or tags, to a non-conforming primary image, to being misclassified in core details, to intellectual property infringements, and lot in between.
One of the most common reasons, though, seems to be a shop's images being found on a wholesale site. Have you checked to see if your images have been stolen?
A deactivated listing normally does not auto renew, but perhaps this is different if you also have it in a Pattern site? Maybe you need to unlink it from Etsy so it is Pattern-only?
