Etsy deactivated my handmade listing

[#1]

I've been selling this item for the past 2 years and it's been a best seller. Etsy deactivated because they say it was not handmade but I hand make all my items.

I'm not sure if someone reported it to be malicious or if it was deactivated because I recently opened a tik tok shop and sell only this item on there. I opened it for more views and sales for my etsy shop. Regardless, the email I received was because it was not handmade. I reached out via Etsy chats and they said someone would email me to look further into this issue. If anyone here has more insight it would be very much appreciated.

I could no longer be bothered fighting with Etsy to keep the item listed or my shop functioning!

It took about 48 hours to receive a response from Etsy stating that their decision was final and no further consideration or appeal would be considered. Shop closed!

I no longer add new listings to my store!
