Re: Selling digital files

Most all of your listings run afoul of trademarks and/or copyrights.  Perhaps a phrase or word you used in the new listing is already on Etsy's naughty list.

Best to use your own designs.

I'm not sure what a Duke of Hazard is but if it was an item surrounding that, the Confederate flag has been banned from most platforms.

Dukes of Hazard was a TV show. The OP is violating copyrights or trademarks .

Oooooh, LOL!    I was thinking it was like a motorcycle gang leader term or something - apparently I don't get out much.   

I should have Googled but if it was Confederate related I didn't want that in my history.    :  )

The flag is still a no go whether it's represented on television or not.

That happens when you violate IP trademark laws. Etsy's new recognition system will deactivate even before the IP holder comes a-calling. As long as you continue with your current designs, every time you renew something, it will be deactivated. And, you risk the IP holders forcing takedowns and/or a lawsuit.

I'm surprised you are surprised.

If you want your shop to last any longer, you'll educate yourself about Intellectual Property law and adjust your items accordingly.

Re: Selling digital files

Your shop is all IP infringement and stolen art. I'm surprised Etsy hasn't removed your shop in its entirety.
