Where is my most recent listing?!

[EitherOrFinds]

I've just spent the last hour making a listing and finally posted it, but it isn't showing up in my shop! What has happened to it??? I've refreshed and refreshed my shop URL but without success. My listing isn't there. Anybody have any ideas what happened?

It can often take 24-48 hours for a listing to show up in search

It's not showing up in my shop--not looking at search. Still not up. @designsbydieter

Etsy sometimes removes items at point of listing if they see it going against site policies in some way.

What was the item?

[EitherOrFinds]

Corning Ware tea pot. Not too controversial. @leinweberstudio

Did you check your "deactivated" section? As @leinweberstudio said: it may have been an automatic deactivation. This happened to me a couple of times. In both cases, the listings were deemed "Etsy legal" and reinstated several days later. (edited for typo)

[EitherOrFinds]

Yes, there it is--DEACTIVATED BY ETSY! What? A Corning Ware Tea Pot?????!!!!! WHY? @BetseysBeauties 

[TheVintagePineapple]

A few sellers have had their Corning Ware percolators and tea pots deactivated since some of those items were recalled in the 1960's and '70s for faulty handles.  Even if your tea pot wasn't a recalled one, the system might just have picked up on Corning Ware + tea pot.

That's what I'm thinking too. As soon as the OP mentioned CW teapot it clicked. 

[BetseysBeauties]

What @TheVintagePineapple said. You may want to check online to see if your Tea Pot was among the recalls. Don't "relist" - wait for Etsy to make adtermination, and only after you get their email respond if, in fact, yours was not in the recall.

@EitherOrFinds I've heard of many corning ware listings being deactivated due to recalls on CW products. So sorry that happened to you...I guess we will not be able to use "CW" in our titles, tags, or descriptions now even for items that have not been recalled. Kind of like the infamous baltic stone that starts with the letter "A" and ends in "ber".

[EitherOrFinds]

Well, thankfully my CW teapot listing showed up today--so it must have been checked out. A recalled handle. Wow. Big Brother never sleeps.

Since etsy will probably be the one getting sued rather than you if there is a problem, being Big Brother makes sense in this case.
