Star Seller Badge Removed for final violation.

[NapoleonBands]

Why is it so impossible to communicate with etsy support regarding the violation they been talking about. I am not sure about what part of violation did I commit. My rings are handmade and every rings are made by hand. and now they removed my star seller badge when I tried to reach them but on their end, they did not reply back to any of my cases. I am so dissappointed on etsy.

Use just one case and keep replying that you still need help. (Multiple cases puts you at the back of the queue with each one).

Check to see if your photos have been stolen and are being used elsewhere ... backward image searches.

I just took a look at your store and your About section does talk about your process and show pictures. 

Nice looking rings.

Good luck.

Have your photos been stolen and you've seen them on other sites. Sometimes that is the reason because image recognition is used. If the bot sees the same photos elsewhere, it assumes you are reselling.

Etsy will never discuss reasons beyond what they say in the initial contact.

Do you have other shops on Etsy selling the exact same rings?  I see several other shops with your same rings.  Maybe Etsy thinks you are a reseller?  If those other shops are stealing designs you have created yourself, that would be one place to start, file take down notices with Etsy for all the other shops that have stolen your designs.

@NapoleonBands  said,"My rings are handmade and every rings are made by hand."

Handmade by WHO?  By YOU?  Or by OTHERS and you are reselling them as handmade here on Etsy?  If handmade by others, then that does not qualify as handmade as per Etsy TOU.  

Etsy is really clear on what can be listed as handmade, and their TOU's clearly state reselling handmade is not allowed.  Etsy requires all handmade items to be physically handmade (or designed) by the shop owner. 

Unfortunately, I do see your exact same items being sold on many other websites!  If these are actually handmade by you, then you will need to file legal takedowns (DMCA) with all the other shops, worldwide! 

Wishing you best of luck!

I did a search of one of your styles on google images and found many very similar, if not identical rings on Amazon, Walmart, and other sellers. The also use similar styled photos, so if you are selling products you made, I suggest you change the style of photos as the bots will identify your items as reselling.

Were you selling items with mammoth ivory in them?

Do your items contain rare plants like Rosewood? Many plants are endangered and banned from being sold.

Ivory is BANNED by Etsy's Prohibited Items Policy.
