Etsy bots erroneously deactivated new listing (new: Dec 10)

This can't be happening every single time. I am tired with how Etsy is functioning (or better not functioning). Etsy bots erroneously deactivate a new listing of mine, then I open a ticket, then I wait for a whole day (or two) until it is activated. No reply to my support ticket, Etsy support is a ghost.

Every time the same. I m so tired of this. It's highly counter-productive and stressful.

It's only going to get worse, unfortunately. Etsy 100% wants this all done by bots, and they can't build even remotely competent bots - at least not yet. So they will continue to add more words, phrases, photos etc. to the removal list, and force the sellers to spend their valuable time to sort it out.

It may help to think of Etsy as a "curated" site where you submit a listing, but it doesn't go live until it is vetted by a staff member to be sure it meets the requirements.  It is just how it is, if your listing is flagged for certain words, you have to accept that there will be delays when it is first listed, renewed or edited.

Also selling plants on Etsy is very tricky in the US due to the different regulations in every state. CA is particularily tricky and very strict. This is a rhelm I just would not want to enter.  Also do you have a nursery license? If so I would display it promanently.

Etsy's answer is just to take down everything that "might" be a problem.
