Etsy’s Creativity Standards

[LGTgroup]

Hello

I've previously had my listings taken down due to Etsy’s Creativity Standards.

I created a case regarding the problem however I have not received an Official answer regarding the issue. If a moderator would be so kind as to guide me in this process as I've only received automated email without answering the question.

I sell my products on other marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon and Etsy.

Is it okay to use the same pictures in my other marketplace listings?

Would like an Official answer from support. As taking new pictures of my products would undertake a big investment.

These are the cases

Thank you for your support

You are preaching to the choir here.  We are only sellers who cannot give any Official answers, only advice.

Many of us would appreciate an official answer to this question. I doubt we're going to get it here (or anywhere) though.

OP, I have started using different photographs for my vintage listings on different marketplaces, just in case that makes Etsy less nervous. 

Obviously, this additional time photographing items during the limited hours I have good daylight and energy is a nuisance. I also have tried to limit the places I list an item. 

I will assess at the end of this year if it is worth taking 20 or 30 photographs for one item.

@TinLizziAntiques Do you have to switch all of them? I was thinking of just doing a different thumbnail for each site.

Etsy only checks the first photo,

I sell on e-bay and amazon, same things, no problem,

If you are concerned, then just use a different 1st photo here

I wouldn't wait for etsy  to get back to you

My best selling listing was deactivated 2 months ago and I’m yet to receive a reply from support. Josh Silverman said in the press that were allowed to appeal takedowns. But Etsy don’t seem to follow through on that as I’m still waiting, so I wouldn’t have much hope with getting a reply from support

There have been sellers report their etsy items were taken down and etsy told them they found them on amazon (by the seller) and another their own website. Once they finally get through to a person then etsy action was lifted. Hard to say how often this happens. Usually they match with the manufacturing sites.
