Etsy removed a number of listings from my marketplace. I changed the title and description of my listing, but I cannot retrieve it. Please advise me on how to retrieve my deactivated (removed) listing.
Were the listings deactivated by Etsy? If so they should have sent you are email explaining the reason.
All your listings are blocked for me (I see a message saying that this item is not available in my region) because I am in the UK and online sales of knives are restricted here.
You are selling functional weapons so I would guess some of these (or maybe all) are in fact prohibited.
Etsy policy:
Etsy prohibits the sale of knives that pose a risk of violence, such as those designed to be concealed or quickly deployed. We also prohibit any content that markets a knife as being intended for violence.
We prohibit the following:
A knife or bladed item which is not prohibited by these restrictions may be sold on Etsy, as long as it otherwise qualifies for sale and meets all applicable legal requirements in applicable jurisdictions, such as age verification upon delivery where required by law.
Kitchen knives, utility knives, hunting knives, ceremonial knives, letter openers, razors, and collectibles are allowed on Etsy. As mentioned above, knives may not be marketed as being intended for violence. Sellers may instead choose to describe the craft, hobby, or work-related purposes that the item serves.
You cannot retrieve listings that are deactivated. You have to add a new listing. Etsy did this to me and I have no idea why. It was Vintage doll furniture? I am sure it was an error. Good luck with support. They are t not the best
"I changed the title and description of my listing"
If Etsy removes your illegal weapons, the DO NOT relist them. That's a sure way to get your shop permanently banned.
Have you actually read the Weapon's Policy? Most of your items do not qualify to be sold on Etsy.
