How can I block a shop?

[SummerWire]

Is there a way to block a shop so that its items don't appear in my search, and the shop stops being recommended to me?

I keep on getting recommendations for shops with plagiarized patterns, and I don't want to support this behavior. How can I hide these shops?

I am afraid you can not block somebody’s shop but … you can report them

[NancyQstudio]

Nope.  This can't be done.  But if an item isn't Etsy legal it can be reported.

Really sad this isn’t an option, not so much because a shop is selling items they shouldn’t but because there’s a shop I’ve purchased digital items from twice now that are unusable and I’d like to not purchase there again.

here to echo my wish for a block option for shops. If etsy isn’t going to do anything to combat the dropshippers or ai generated print on demand content, at least let us block the shops who participate. Trying to find handmade things on here is like a minefield now

There are so many shops I'd want to block so I can actually locate Artists ;w;
