One of my listing was removed by Etsy today, again for the same reason as the last one back in September for 'violating Creativity standards' when none of my listings does.
All items are designed by me and made by me. The last one was removed as (Etsy live chat rep told me) there was a duplicate image found online somewhere. All I found was someone's re-share on Twitter/X.
This time, I did a image search and all came up was Etsy listing itself and a listing on my own stand alone website.
This means we are not even allowed to sell on our own website???
Now this is the second time they removed the listing, I've also received an email from Etsy saying my star seller badge will be removed and my Etsy account can be suspended if any more listing is removed.
I've read all this from other sellers sharing their stories here and I've seen less posts about removal recently and I took that as a positive news (meaning AI bots were stopped) but no, it's still out.
I saw Cindylouwho2's newsletter about appeal but if anyone has successfully appealed and had their listings reinstated, I'd really really appreciate some advice thank you!
