Can't list as Sourced by so they removed listings from my shop

[UniqueDesignsGBGifts]

Hello,

Can someone help or advise me on how to list items that are sourced by please? I listed some blank sublimation wine bottle stoppers but the only option I have are:

Who made it? 

I did

A member of my shop

Another company or person

What is it? 

A finished product

A supply or tool to make things

As its a blank item I selected Another company and a supple or tool as it needs to be sourced by me not made? This is the only reason I can think why it has been removed, any help  would be appreciated.

Hard to picture exactly what you're describing but a bottle stopper is not a craft supply.   All supplies are not allowed on Etsy, only crafting supplies.

Hi,

There are others listed on etsy? Its a craft blank for people to personalise with sublimation?

If a blank can be used as-is then on Etsy it's not considered a supply.
A wine bottle stopper can be used as-is.

Craft Supplies - Our House Rules | Etsy

Examples of items that do not qualify as craft supplies:

• Mass-produced clothing and accessories ready for retail sale
• "Blanks" that are ready to use as is

Just because you see items listed on Etsy doesn't mean that it's OK to list those items.
There's 1000's of counterfeit handmade Disney/NFL and other items that shouldn't be listed yet they are.

@UniqueDesignsGBGifts: On the surface, it seems that you made the correct selections for a item to be sold as a supply. Why Etsy may have deactivated a specific listing is a much more difficult question to answer. Hopefully Etsy will provide you with some additional information. Perhaps they are not considering it a craft supply.

As an aside, you need to include YOUR licensing information for any trademarked and copyrighted names and images in your shop in the listing (most likely your licensing agreement requires that as well as appropriate attributions), otherwise buyers (and Etsy) may conclude they are counterfeits. Including the licensing information will show that you are not selling those items illegally.

I don't have any other options to choose from? I bought them from China and i'm destashing stock as I don't have enough room to store it so, don't need licensing details etc.

@UniqueDesignsGBGifts: The licensing point was about the Hugh Laurie and Princess Diana items.

They aren't to be used as is, they are blank to be printed on, but I am guessing Etsy is saying they could be used as is, so not a craft supply.  

Maybe they would fly as a party supply.

The bottle shoppers are not considered a craft supply because they could be used as they are. 'Blanks' cannot be sold on Etsy if they are finished items (which you didn't make, and not vintage) that just happen to be without a design. You need to customise them in some way.

You can't sell the jumpers either as they are also not a craft supply. I assume you didn't make them yourself.

Ok thank you.

Using what's on Etsy as an indication of what's ok is like speeding because other's are doing it. Etsy enforces their rules inconsistently. Some shops get caught sooner than others.
