Etsy is asking me for renewal fees to change inactive listings to active listings even though the listings do not expire until June. Anybody had a similar experience?
Okay, I just tried it. I got this message ...
This listing will move from inactive to active and will be available for purchase in your shop.
... and was not charged for it.
Wow. It was a technical issue! The email I sent was a dead end. The agent told me he couldn’t refund me and when I cited policy I heard nothing back. I used chat and my fees were refunded within minutes! So yes, “technical issue” (unless they’re actively in the process of rolling out new fees), but I’m still going to modify my process.
thanks to y’all for going through the process and reporting back!
