Today Etsy placed my shop on Vacation Mode. I never got an email explaining why my shop was on forced vacation mode. Instead I received an email saying that my information was verified and the pause on my store was lifted. MY STORE IS STILL ON VACATION MODE. They lock up my livihood and do not afford me a method of communicating with a human immediately. This is why I no longer send my followers to Etsy AND why I have a Shopify store instead and will be building my own ecommerce store where I have full control of my business and my money.
I've been on Etsy for over 10 years. Placing my store on vacation mode because you need to verify information is beyond ridiculous, a terrible business practice and NOT necessary.
