Don't use Etsy. It's a shit company that fucks over sellers and buyers alike
It was great at some point. Then they noticed they can make a lot more money from dropshippers than genuine craftspeople
Very amused that they banned my account for the audacity of Shopping While Using a VPN. It'd be one thing if the IP was blacklisted and I couldn't access the site, but no, they just straight up banned my entire account. (Fortunately, I am not a seller so this didn't do anything but confuse me. Like, okay? You... don't want money? Fine by me.)
Apparently it's really common.
Oh yeah, never use a VPN with Etsy. Especially as a seller
Used a VPN as a seller? Goodbye shop
