Etsy removed my listing

[EuroHDesigns]

Etsy removed my listing for violating the creativity policy. I have read this policy several times and I'm sure that I did not violate it. My products are all made entirely by my hand and photographed on my phone. I can film myself making any of my products. I wrote to support twice, but I receive an automatic response that I violated the Etsy creativity policy and next time my store will be banned.

Please help me understand how I violated the Etsy policy and avoid banning the store.

The product with the latex corset was removed. Of course, you will not be able to see that listing, but my store has a couple more listings with corsets of other designs.

Thank you!

It's probably because the Etsy bots found your photos being used somewhere else.

did etsy say which of the creativity standards?

some of your first photos look like mockups

It looks like your BDSM gear is not properly labelled as "MATURE" content, as per Etsy's rules.

You also have live models wearing harnesses, which is risky. Etsy may remove them for being too racy.

When a human model is featured in a listing or review photo for an item, genitalia, anuses, gluteal clefts, and female nipples/areolas may not be visible.

This policy applies even if the above body parts are only partially visible, including through very tight, sheer, or mesh clothing, or through insufficient use of blurring or “censor” bars.

To ensure compliance with this policy, we recommend the following:

• If modelling sheer items, have the model wear skin-coloured underwear beneath the garment
• Consider using a mannequin instead of a human model
• Utilise flat lay photography techniques to display the item

You must tag some permitted content as ‘mature’, as a heads-up to people who may not want to see this type of content. Read more about Listing Mature Content Correctly.
