Ep 30 | The Top Reasons Etsy Shops Get Suspended, And What To Do If It Happens To You

Have you been hearing about the rise of Etsy shop suspensions recently? It can be a bit scary to take that leap with a new Etsy shop with all the rumors floating around—BUT today hopefully I will set your mind at ease! I’m teaching you how to avoid the most dangerous mistakes Etsy sellers make, what actions are most likely to cause a shop suspension, AND what you can do to get your shop back if it happens to you. **“How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy” is not affiliated with or endorsed by Etsy.com STUFF I MENTIONED: Link to Etsy’s article about suspensions: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015672628-How-to-Unsuspend-Your-Account Youtube Video Tutorial on Trademark searches: https://youtu.be/Vq4mfFj0Nis  Trademark website: www.uspto.gov     My email: lizziesmiley@yahoo.com   Etsy’s email: integrity@etsy.com UPDATE: I have heard that this email address may no longer work.  Instead try: Support@etsy.com *Email them from the same email address connected to your Etsy shop “Hi there! I’m reaching out today because I believe my store was shut down by an auto-bot. I would like to request a manual review of my Etsy shop.” Wait a few days to hear back via email before you call them. Use this number to call Etsy corporate if you don’t get an email response: Etsy’s phone number: (888)659-3879 UPDATE: Since the airing of this episode, this contact number for Etsy has been deactivated.   Sale Samurai – my secret weapon for SEO on Etsy: My YOUTUBE Video Link (sneak peek): https://youtu.be/HIw0oqF1aJc 𝗚𝗲𝘁 Sale Samurai https://salesamurai.io/324.html 𝗣𝗟𝗨𝗦 use my 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗗𝗘 to get 𝟮𝟬% 𝗢𝗙𝗙! ▶ howtosellyourstuff (all in lowercase)   --------------------------------------------- FREE ETSY MASTERCLASS: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/masterclass FREE PDF DOWNLOAD: “4 Strategies I Used to Grow My Etsy Shop from $25 to $6000k/month”: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/site/4-strategies-opt-in Grab my eCourse “Listings that Sell” and learn how to skyrocket your Etsy business: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/etsy-listings-that-sell    Find me on Instagram and TikTok @HowtoSellYourStuff ----- HOW TO SELL YOUR STUFF WEBSITE: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/ HOW TO SELL YOUR STUFF INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/howtosellyourstuff/ HOW TO SELL YOUR STUFF SHOWNOTES: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/etsy-shop-suspension DISCLAIMER: I can’t give you legal advice and you should not interpret what I share in this podcast to BE legal advice.
