In 2012 or something, I tried to sell off my last few robot cups on Etsy- to no avail. Etsy randomly changed me back to a buyer account a couple years ago since my shop was “defunct”
I recently changed my account back to being a seller without issue. Then I spent the last couple of days photographing new work in portfolio style, as well as the Etsy “homey” style, and setting up all the listings with measurements, shipping estimates, and pricing. The whole nine yards. I go to publish and I get a message saying I cannot list items until I reopen my shop. I follow the instructions provided for this- and the only option I’ve got is to close my shop….
The whole reason I chose to set up my shop on Etsy was to have access to their market. It made sense to grow a following there and eventually move sales here to the more stable platform. I just restarted my website, so It’s not like I get a ton of traffic. …but then this…
… I’ve sent an email to their help queue… if i don’t hear back I’ll list items here on my page. Just wanted to keep y’all in the loop.
Because why do it once, when you can do it twice?!?! :)
