@RivermistCreationsUS: It is hard to speculate on why a particular listing was deactivated, but as mentioned before Etsy is cracking down on what they feel inappropriate. Copyright and trademark infringements is a large factor, but it also seems that the bots are looking for trigger words with no consideration for context. Just as an example that may or may not apply to you, if you say an item is ivory colored the listing may get flagged because ivory is not allowed to be sold on Etsy. Since Etsy is now also factoring descriptions in search, they along with titles, tags, and materials (and possibly even alt tags if you are using them) are all probably being checked. And the bots are also "reading" images. The best we mere sellers can do is make educated guesses.
Plus the bot that is doing the deactivation may be looking for more complex triggers than a single word or phrase which makes it even harder to figure out the true reasoning.
Additionally, according to some posts in this forum, the reason stated in the deactivation eMails can be at best vague, perhaps misleading, and at worst completely incorrect.
