today i notice a BIG YELLOW BANNER across the top of my shop 'listings' page, announcing that an unspecified number of my listings don't comply with Etsy's standards, and have been moved to my inactive folder. and that i can look at an email that Etsy that i have not yet received.
however.... the only listings in my 'inactive' folder are two that expired several years ago. all my regular listings are still in place and available. (at least, it seems like they are available, although my sales have completely dried up in the last week....)
the big yellow banner reads..."We removed listings from your shop that don't follow our policies
It looks like some of your listings weren't in line with one or more of our policies for selling on Etsy, so they're no longer active. These policies help us keep our marketplace a safe and unique destination for handmade goods, vintage items, and craft supplies.
You can check your email (redacted email address) for more info on what can be sold on Etsy. Keep in mind, if you have multiple policy violations, we may need to remove any Star Seller badges you have or suspend your account."
has anyone else seen this yellow banner? is this a bit of fallout from the 'mature listings' shake-up happening later this month?
