My sells are down HELP

[ONCEUPONAPOTIONDK]

Hello everyone, I always had a pretty successful and consistent Etsy shop. It has definitely been slower the last couple of months, BUT I have not made a single sale in the last 10 days. In the fives years that I have been running by shop, this has never happened. Anyone else out there who typically has daily sales ever experience a drought like this? I have been wondering if something in my settings are not working. If anyone could take a look, maybe try to see if all looks normal I would be so grateful!

Your shop is beautiful! The only thing I picked up on is repetitions of key words in the titles and tags, like witch and witchcraft - apparently Etsy and Google algorithms don't like it, so just use once in the title and once in the tags. Otherwise, everything looks great to me. Many of us have had sudden downturns like this in recent months, but nobody seems to know why

You have some medical claims. Etsy has been cracking down on them lately. You need to read through the policy pages and look for any rules you might be breaking. I didn't look through your whole shop, but there are numerous rules on medical claims, metaphysical, spells, etc. You'll probably be able to re-word most of your offerings to comply with Etsy's policy. My theory is that some shops are being flagged by Etsy for these violations and it's affecting your shop ranking in search. This is just my personal theory though.

If not actually being flagged and ranking in search going down, we do know Etsy decided to hide listings that contained words like 'sexy', unless they are specifically searched for, without telling us. My theory is that it's more likely there may be more words like that 'hiding' your shop or listings, they just haven't been realized yet.

Another actual thing that is happening is that listings are being shadow banned by Etsy for certain words. And you won't know it unless you look for them.
This might have escalated to include words that you use.

I wonder if one of the banned phrases is "mystery box".

Thank you so so much for your advises, I will definitelytake a look at my key words
