I noticed i got few listings inactive by etsy due to violations of their regulations.
What i dont understand is whaat and where i do make the mistake. I see other sellers are selling those product too. Why do i cant do the same?
Can anyone with knowledge help me understand?
Thanks
Making medical claims is not allowed.
On Etsy you can only sell items handmade or designed by you, vintage over 20 years old, or supplies. Your items are none of those.
If you are making medical claims or referencing the FDA that could be it. If you are not Krauterhof and not making the items then it is because of reselling.
Just as with any rule, whether others are doing it doesn't necessarily mean you can.
Your products are making multiple medical claims, which is against Etsy rules.
That could be the reason i suppose the multible medical claims. Others who are selling the same products are using the handmade option and they are not Krauterhof also. They are also reselling. Even Rizla brands which are part of tobacco are being selling here. Is not Rizla.com who is selling them. They are just resellers. Is funny thought
They just haven't been caught yet--and you have.
If several people go out and rob several different banks--some will get caught and some will not. However, it does not mean you can go rob a bank just because someone else did so.
You do not make Krauterhof Marigold Ointment.
It's made by this company:
Also, Amazon has the foot cream at a much better price.

To state something is handmade, when it is not, reflects on your integrity...or lack of...
You don't understand where you made a mistake? Probably by reselling while claiming the items to be "handmade" and making medical claims that are illegal.
Etsy is finally starting to fix its problem and slooooowly purge resellers of not-really-"handmade" products. And they seem to be looking closely at new shops.
Your shop might be very quickly removed completely and your account blocked. Then, your IP address will be noted by Etsy and you will not be able to open another store. I suggest to rethink your business practice and maybe move to a site where reselling is allowed.
