messages have been temporarily disabled
Hello Guys,
I am having this problem "Bummer, my conversations have been temporarily disabled".
Can anyone tell me, when Etsy team will enable it?
Aslam.

Re: messages have been temporarily disabled
You have probably been spamming potential buyers

Re: messages have been temporarily disabled
If you're spamming people (sending unwanted messages to potential buyers) they'll report you to Etsy. If you're trying to send a large number of messages in a short time Etsy will suspend you.

Re: messages have been temporarily disabled
you will be suspended for at least a week, it is illegal in many countries to contact people, unless they have given you permission beforehand, and there is no way this can be done on etsy
do it a second time, and your shop probably won't be here for long
as you sell to the EU/UK, you have to have a GDPR (privacy) policy, once you have read the law on that, and what it contains, you might understand better
this is etsy info on setting up a GDPR poicy

Re: messages have been temporarily disabled
You should have received a notice from etsy with instructions on how to get your messages enabled. You need to follow those instructions and contact etsy. Etsy has a program for contacting people who bookmark an item or a shop and they know who has opted in to receiving marketing emails. You need to enroll in that program in order to contact past or potential customers and stop doing it on your own.

Re: messages have been temporarily disabled
as your previous posts
you can't,
spamming is illegal
wait it out, and don't do it again, or your shop will be shut
