Handmade pain...I had my art store since early 2008. Handmade paintings..drawings. All original. I had over 200 sales. I forgot to pay a .20 cent overdue fee and my credit card was in my fiance's name and has been since I first had my art store. We have a joint bank account. I gave them all of the proof that it's my store and even wanted to put the store in my own debit card. My fiance and I played e-mail tag with them for 2 weeks submitting proof of identity. They sent me an e-mail today saying they have permanently banned me. I can't even buy anything from them. They wiped my artistic reputation and all of the images of my artwork off the face of the planet. I only had the chance to save a couple of images before they deleted my account. I lost irreplaceable pictures and my customer base today. Devastated is not even the right word to describe me right now. I really can't believe this. I had 100% positive feedback..and such nice feedback from wonderful people. I don't really know what to do or what I can do about this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397171553372032298.post-91294197094695762972011-02-15T15:35:36.859-08:002011-02-15T15:35:36.859-08:00I am going to post it here.

They closed my shop for the last time not too long ago. I had paid my fees up, so I went to Paypal and disputed them all, as far back as I could go. It was only fair, right? Service were not rendered.<br /><br />Well, that made them so angry, they won't even let me keep a buyer account there. The worst kicker of them all - a friend had accessed her Etsy account from my house and hers was deleted too. I've heard to this happening before, but I never believed it until it happened to me.<br /><br />(I quote from the email sent to her) "I'm sorry but we cannot allow (name here) to use Etsy in any way. If there is a chance she can access your account and use it, then we must not allow you to have one either. We apologize for the hasty decision." Hasty decision? WTF?<br /><br />She can't have a damned buyer account there either now. They delete them within minutes, same as mine.<br /><br />Seriously, the worst I have done is owe them a debt (possibly). And they apparently take this personally, so personally, that they are also punishing an innocent person.<br /><br />The topper is that they broke their own TOU about disciplinary action. My friend did not mention me by name in her email. Etsy *did* mention my name in their email to her. I thought all that was supposed to be confidential? Etsy has made it a point to say that over and over again, even closing harmless threads over it.<br /><br />Shame on Etsy! They claim to care but they have taken the livelihoods of two people, one of whom has done nothing at all. And countless others, no doubt.<br /><br /><br />I'd like to remain anonymous. I don't want any further trouble with them. They are nasty enough to do more damage to me and my business if they can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397171553372032298.post-54398479298273091252011-02-06T05:53:18.757-08:002011-02-06T05:53:18.757-08:00haha!
