I was flagged as a reseller on Etsy. I'm not sure if I should be angry or complimented. It was very stressful though, the possibility of my shop being closed down on the basis of someones flag. I blog a lot of my projects here, but this has never been a place for me to promote my shop. It has been more of an online gallery for me to share with people that enjoy making and designing clothing. To share with other people that have a passion for vintage patterns or any pattern. Show my mistakes and what I learned from them. Best of all share my triumphs! I love that a lot of my customers follow to watch their dress in progress.
My blog was not enough proof that I actually make my own things. I had to take pictures and answer a lot of questions to prove that I did indeed create my designs. I understand this because they needed to make sure the pictures were recent. Lucky for me I had an unfinished dress that I could pose with.
I'm happy to say my shop will not be suspended! Here is my picture in case someone decides to flag me again and happens to look on my blog. I take a lot of pride in what I do and am actually baffled that I've had to deal with Etsy Integrity three times now. Hopefully this will be the last.

Gasp!!! Oh my goodness! I can't believe it!!! I can see how you could take it as a compliment, but it sounds so stressful!! I'm glad it's been resolved and I hope it doesn't happen again!
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, you've had a really tricky relationship with Etsy haven't you!? Seems so unfair, but I'm glad you managed to get through it for a third time. Let's hope this is the end of the bad luck now ;o)
ReplyDeleteOf course you should take it as a compliment! Glad you weathered the storm! Hop#4
