Hi I'm a new seller, I sell DIGITALS only.I opened my shop last week. I just have my first order this morning. After few hours, when I revisited my shop it says there that it's on VACATION MODE. I never received any notification about it. But I received an email about government issued ID. It stated that I have to resubmit a photo of my ID then I did. It's been many hours of waiting but my Bank account isn't still validated. Is this ID problem the reason why my account is put on VACATION MODE?
Yes.
@HappyLifePrintsPH It will take more than a few hours. More like days. At least you got an email to respond to. Be patient - good luck!
It doesn’t usually change in a couple hours, it could be days or weeks before Etsy gets around to your shop. Etsy doesn’t need to ask your permission to close your shop, you gave it when you signed up for Etsy.
you have to request the small deposit to be sent
