Some items unavailable

[localtanuki]

I've been getting "This item is not available in your region" for several of MY OWN listings! None of which are NSFW, have nudity, sexual content, or copyrighted content. It's all my own custom digital work of basic animals like dogs and cats- many anthro. I'm not sure how to resolve this issue, cause a lot of people say its only for sexual content like lingerie or dolls. So... why are my listings wrongly not available? 

If anyone could take a look at my shop and give me some suggestions to fix this issue Id be super grateful!

It appears there is a bot that is looking for specific things, but it's not smart enough to know that a drawn cartoon of a fox with boobs is not a photo of a nude human child. I'm seeing this happen with all types of listings - not just child photos that could be used for porn, which is what we thought Etsy was trying to get a handle on.

Hopefully, Etsy will get this straightened out soon.

Yep all kinds of listings.  Three of my listings and also people with patterns & sewing, books etc.  What a mess. This is a bummer with the promo going on.  It has been escalated, but that mean days to wait for a fix.  Such awful support as usual

Etsy might consider naked human-like animals "sexual content". There is a section of furry culture that swings that way, and Etsy might have lumped everyone together and is now "soft blocking" the content.

The "Symmetrical Mega Base" - without any underwear or nipples, and bare butt cheeks, is unavailable to me, as is the naked "Simple Chibi Commission", but the "MINI Headshot" is available.

Maybe draw the animals with clothes?

True, Im going to change some of my thumbnails and see what happens. My mom owns an embroidery shop and her listings are getting flagged as well even though they are pillows and blankets LOL. Hopefully it gets fixed soon..

It is affecting many sellers. It is not the nudity issue.  I have a listing with zero nudity called Movie Date and also Pink mid century bathroom.  Not sure what the issue is.  I have contacted chat support & it has been escalated, but that can take days.  Etsy is so slow to address these issues.  It is very frustrating

There is a problem with Etsy at the moment.  Many sellers are experiencing this issue.  It is a huge problem when they are also running the $5.00 off promo.  I have contacted chat support & they have escalated which mean we will hear in a few days.  They are soooo slow to respond.  AHHH

I was so excited to advertise the $5 off promo and get some new sales but I didn't cause half my shop is unavailable! Its so sad honestly, especially cause I use this money for college tuition
