One flagged listing can put your whole shop at risk

Etsy enforces its policies with automated checks as well as people, and it doesn't warn you first. Shops whose listings keep getting removed can be suspended. You get one appeal per listing.

Wedding and party decor shop10 years on Etsy, Star Seller

Several sales a day, then a suspended account with no email explaining why. The likely cause turned out to be trademarked themes in a newer product line. “This can happen to anyone overnight.”

Print-on-demand shopNew seller, 11 sales

Permanently suspended with no warning over a trademarked phrase on a few T-shirt listings. “Within 5 minutes, it was denied without a clear explanation.”

Crystal jewellery shop18,000 five-star reviews

Suspended after product photos were flagged, likely because copycats reused them. The appeal was denied, and the folder of appeal evidence “was never opened.”

A removal can come from places you'd never check

  • A policy changed and your old listings broke it overnight
  • Something in your listings, photos or files breaks a rule you didn't know about
  • Etsy's automated checks flag it before a person ever looks

The files your buyers download

We open every PDF and image buyers receive and find QR codes, off-Etsy links, emails and newsletter sign-ups. That's exactly what got our founder's listings flagged.

AI disclosure, down to the metadata

We read the hidden AI tags in your photos (C2PA, IPTC, EXIF) and check that your listing discloses AI use the way Etsy requires.

"Made by" vs "designed by"

We compare your "Who made it" answer with what your description actually says. A mismatch breaks Etsy's Creativity Standards.

Example finding"I made it", but the description says a partner prints it

I got flagged by Etsy, so you don't have to

I sell digital patterns on Etsy. One day my listings were flagged for something I didn't know was a violation. They're still in review.

I looked for a tool that would have caught it. None of them checked what Etsy actually flagged. So I built the checker I needed, and now it checks the whole shop.

FAQ

Questions

Do you need my Etsy password?

No. The free check only needs your shop link. The full scan uses "Log in with Etsy" with read-only access, and we never change anything in your shop.

What happens to the files I upload?

They're checked for malware, scanned, and deleted when the scan finishes. We keep short snippets as evidence for your report, and those expire with it.

Can you guarantee Etsy won't remove a listing?

No one can. Etsy doesn't publish how it enforces its rules. We show you the issues we can find and the rule each one comes from, so you can fix them first.

Is this made by Etsy?

No. We're an independent tool built on Etsy's official API and aren't affiliated with or endorsed by Etsy.
