So I did not get an email saying that my account could not be verified, it came directly on the ETSY site. Tried it three times and I'm still not certain it's correct. Another massive waste of my time with ETSY making poorly conceived changes to processes.
ETSY needs to put a little "Thumb Down" button on the posts. It makes no sense to only have a thumb up button. Almost like saying "If you like it tell us, if you don't, we're not interested" .....................................
