    My Account Permanently Suspended for No reason i submit appeal but after 2 minutes i received Email I'm no qualify to reinstation, the question is that only 2 minutes etsy review my full account and read my Appeal...!!🙂

      Exact same happened to me. I had my account for only 2 weeks with just 3 listings. All trademark checked etc...Double checked all my bank details, address and everything. No chance of reinstating. Was told in the email, no point of further contact, cos they will just ignore. I'm seriously thinking that they are clamping down on POD and probably not taking on any new...It's gotta be that, I have done nothing else wrong.

      Same thing happened to me. I know 1000% I was in zero violation of any terms or policies. I opened 10 months ago. Had regular sales. Had best seller stars, same for responses. Had a 4.8 rating. Initially I worked my ass off to create 300 products/listings. I tried everything- POD, digital portraits (I'm an artist), digital products, but eventually my, "F*ck 'Em. Seriously. Affirmations for Life's Bullsh*t" printed cards took off with regular sales. Over Christmas they withheld all my sales which was horribly timed but I rode it out. Then on Friday, I received an email that I was permanently banned with the embedded link to appeal. I appealed immediately and within minutes I received an obviously canned response stating their "careful review" of my shopped it is permanently banned and there will be no further response. I'm not new to business. I'm university educated. I've won business awards in my own community. So I'm far from green. This has to be a violation of rights, somehow. I'd love for a law firm to get a class action going. I'm trying to get back on my feet after an illness + losing my business during covid. I've seen other stores reporting they were permanently shut down after 23 years...decades. Just. Wow. I can't imagine the impact this is having on so many families.

    Hi, when your second shop got suspended, before they give your shop back, could you still running your first shop? Or is there any influence on your first shop? i am going to open a second shop on etsy and just worried about if my second one got suspended and my first one will also got suspended afterwards. Thank you!

    • @AlfieNemeth
      @AlfieNemeth  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hi, there was no effect on my main first shop at all. The second shop was only suspended as it got caught up in the Etsy security/verification web, so I didn't actually do anything wrong. They un-suspended the shop swiftly after I raised the issue.

    Hello! Thanks for the video. I was wondering when you said not to use a VPN, if an old account was permanently suspended I know I can't use the IP address and everything so what should I do when opening a new account if a VPN isn't a good idea

    • @AlfieNemeth
      @AlfieNemeth  Před 5 měsíci

      Hi Adam, yeah VPN is a bad idea. Why was your old account suspended? I'd start by raising an appeal always as you kind of have nothing to lose. If it were me I'd try opening a new account and list a legitimate item for sale that is fully allowed on etsy. Then if it's suspended straight away I'd file an appeal like the one I showed in this video, make it clear what you intend to sell and that you don't intend to violate any policies. There are situations where families have a single laptop between everyone meaning people on the same IP have different stores, there are plenty of reasons you can give as to why you shouldn't be banned. Appeals are reviewed by humans, so you just have to convince them. Best of luck!

    • @AdamYoutube
      @AdamYoutube Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks for the quick response. My account was banned for violating Etsy policies because I was drop shipping similar items to other people. Can you explain why VPN is bad and what can I do if all my information is flagged and if I try to open an account it is directly banned? Thank you@@AlfieNemeth

    • @AlfieNemeth
      @AlfieNemeth  Před 5 měsíci

      Hey Helen thanks for watching my vid! Oh that’s so weird, it’s the standard contact email for Etsy and I have had responses back from my myself with that email (although they do take up to a few weeks to reply sometimes). My first recommendation is to always go through the site and raise the case, this is what I did and shown in the vid. Seemed to work well. You may be better off trying to ring them during the contact hours, but the ‘call’ support option only shows up during certain hours in the help sections, I’m not 100% what these hours are. Maybe even try the support chat that is a bot, but should still be able to put your queries forward. Hope that helps and feel free to message me on IG/email if you want to chat further.

      I know people who have but they’ve needed to use differed details. If your actual account is suspended, this involves any details attached to you.

    • @AlfieNemeth
      @AlfieNemeth  Před 2 měsíci

      Thanks so much really appreciate you watching! The store address (location items are fulfilled from) shouldn't change and this can be different to your physical location. The important info to get right is anything to do with your banking address, this is the main one people get wrong. In addition if your fulfilling orders from India for example, don't try and set shop location to USA for a local audience, this will get flagged up.

      Hiya! Sadly if your appeal has bene rejected it is basically impossible to get your account/listing back. Etsy are notorious for this and although I love the platform, it is a major flaw when accounts are suspended incorrectly. Your best bet would be to call support during the opening hours, if your appeal is suspended you won't be able to raise a new one. How established was your shop? I'd be happy to work with you to open a new business sustainably that won't run the risk of being suspended.

      Hiya! Yeah you can open a shop in Morocco I just checked on Etsy policies. DONT USE A VPN WHEN SIGNING UP. This will 100% lead to a ban at some point. You can sell from wherever your supplier or you are based. If you’re selling POD, digital items or even dropshipping, just make sure the origin address is correct on the shipping profile you are using for each respective product. Good luck!
