The most important takeaway is that nothing has changed with Etsy's policies. They are just clarifying them in an effort to reduce the amount of non-compliant listings. Your items have always needed to follow Etsys policies but now those policies are clearer than ever. Your items MUST be:
- handmade by YOU (your two hands)
- designed by YOU (not creative fabrica)
- hand picked by YOU (vintage)
- sourced by YOU (craft and party supplies)
These have always been Etsy's policies.
Handmade in a factory or sweat shop is not "handmade by you".
Buying stock Creative Fabrica designs and putting them on a POD shirt is not "designed by you".
All sellers will soon have indicators on their listings that show if the listing was handmade by, designed by, hand picked by, or sourced by.
We will be covering this update more in-depth during eRank Q&A this week, as well as the Friday Bean.

Hey, everyone!
Tomorrow, I'll be presenting my most popular Brand Building webinar for GoImagine's seller base. This webinar is seriously EPIC because it applies to ANY business model, no matter where or what you sell.
The best part is, it's totally free for anyone who would like to attend.
You do not need to be a GoImagine seller.
The webinar is taking place on Maker Circle, a social media platform exclusively for crafty businesses.
I've been having a ton of fun on this app. It kind of reminds me of Instagram but for businesses! And you can access it from both desktop and mobile.
🪐 Here's the link to sign up: www.makercircle.com/
The webinar will begin at 1pm EST, 12pm CST, 10am PST, and 6pm for those in the UK. I do believe there will be a replay available in the Maker Circle app if you can't attend live. Hopefully, I'll see you tomorrow!

**UPDATE: As of right now, we have over 227 emails to sift through this weekend. Because of this, I'll be closing comments for now.
Etsy's head of customer service has outlined that changes to how shops are considered during the appeal process are in the works.
If you are suspended on Etsy, your first step should be submitting your appeal through the new appeal portal.

While I wish I could accept more stories, sadly I have more than I'm able to handle alone, requiring me to recruit help. For now, I'll be closing comments BUT I hope to have an update for everyone soon regarding updates from Etsy. Any updates will be covered at the beginning of my Friday live streams each week, so feel free to subscribe to my channel to continue following the story: youtube.com/@StarlaMoore
Thank you to everyone who has contributed! 💜

Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Threads may all be down... but that won't stop me from uploading a nifty video about profitable Etsy niche research today. 👀 Watch for it at 12:15pm EST.
In the meantime, how are you enjoying your social media detox? 😂 Toots Boots has constructed a storm shelter because it's POURING in Ohio. ⛈️

🎄 For physical product sellers, right now is also a great time to double-check your inventory numbers. Every once in a while, things end up misplaced or miscounted. And there’s nothing more embarrassing than gaming yourself up to pack an order, only to realize that you don’t have the inventory!
🎄 Before the holiday rush, I highly recommend performing a full workshop audit to ensure all of your stock aligns with what is currently in Etsy.
🎄 For POD sellers, this is also a great time to double check that all of your variants are synced and in stock!
