what's up guys welcome to episode 5 of
[2]
my etsy print on demand series for 2021
[4]
in this one we're talking about what to
[6]
do
[6]
if etsy closes your account for no good
[9]
reason
[10]
believe it or not this happens all the
[12]
time it's kind of ridiculous that they
[13]
haven't fixed it
[14]
while in the meantime they'll go to
[16]
great lengths to prevent you from
[18]
opening a second account
[20]
yet they will close your first account
[21]
for no reason even though sellers are
[23]
the lifeblood
[24]
of etsy even more so than buyers because
[26]
buyers don't matter if nobody's selling
[27]
anything
[28]
and etsy is really just scalping a
[30]
marketplace referral fee
[32]
every time they help conduct a
[34]
transaction and essentially
[36]
bring the buyer to the seller or the
[37]
seller to the buyer et cetera so
[39]
anyways in this video it's going to be
[41]
short i'm going to show you exactly what
[42]
you need to do
[43]
if you receive an email from etsy
[44]
letting you know that your account was
[45]
closed i think this happens a lot more
[47]
to print on demand sellers so it's
[48]
probably relevant
[49]
a lot more to anybody that's subscribed
[51]
to my channel selling print on demand we
[53]
covered the printful etsy integration
[55]
so far and right after my girlfriend
[58]
made her first sale on her new etsy
[60]
account
[60]
her account was closed so i figured you
[62]
know what we should make sure we do this
[64]
video so let's get to it
[66]
[Music]

all right real quick if you missed part
[100]
four this video series is meant to be
[101]
viewed in order you should go check it
[103]
out i cover what to do when you make
[105]
your first order
[106]
using the printful etsy integration i'll
[108]
link to it right here in the youtube
[109]
cards
[110]
so you can go back and watch it if you
[112]
missed it
[113]
alright so if you're watching this video
[115]
maybe your etsy account was closed
[117]
for no reason or if you're just watching
[119]
the videos in order thank you i'll make
[121]
this one short
[122]
if your account was closed for no reason
[124]
i can't tell you why
[125]
other than it seems like lazy
[126]
programming on etsy's part especially
[128]
when this has been going on for well
[130]
over a year
[131]
and it's got to be eating up a ton of
[133]
time for their support team
[135]
so if this happens to you go ahead and
[136]
email etsy at support
[138]
etsy.com and integrity etsy.com i
[141]
recommend sending
[142]
two separate emails um i don't know if i
[143]
would c them i'd probably just copy
[145]
paste and
[146]
create two different emails so that they
[147]
don't see that they're cc'd because in
[149]
case they do see that they're cc'd
[150]
they may assume that the other side's
[151]
gonna respond and then that side may
[153]
assume that the other side's gonna
[154]
respond
[154]
and maybe nobody responds so i would
[156]
shoot off an email separate
[158]
to both of these email addresses let
[160]
them know that your account was closed
[161]
for no good reason
[162]
and that you would like to have it
[163]
restored so that you can continue to
[165]
sell on etsy
[167]
alright here is an example email of what
[170]
you may receive
[171]
in response thank you for bringing your
[173]
concerns about your shop status to our
[175]
attention we are experiencing an
[176]
unusually high volume blah blah blah i'm
[177]
sure they'll blame kovid too
[179]
because every business does that while
[180]
they lay off half of their support team
[182]
and just stick it to the people that
[184]
are forced to rely on the support team
[186]
and rant sorry
[187]
i've taken a look at your account and
[189]
can see that your shop listings are now
[190]
active if you don't see your listings
[191]
they should be searchable in the
[192]
marketplace within the next 20 minutes
[194]
i'm sorry for any inconvenience you may
[195]
have experienced
[196]
if you've started the process of
[198]
creating a shop and it's still in draft
[199]
mode you'll now be able to move forward
[200]
with the creation of your shop if you'd
[202]
like
[202]
i'd also like to provide a little more
[204]
information about what occurred we have
[205]
automated systems in place
[207]
wow automation huh to protect the safety
[210]
and security of the etsy marketplace
[212]
so we go ahead and suspend shops for no
[213]
reason right these systems are monitored
[215]
by etsy employees but occasionally shops
[217]
operating within our policies may be
[219]
caught up in them see that's not true
[221]
etsy is running they're not etsy does
[223]
not have a farm
[224]
of employees that sit there watching
[226]
what shop owners do
[228]
step by step by step that is not true at
[230]
all it's probably a small team of
[231]
engineers that wrote an algorithm that
[233]
hasn't been updated in years because
[234]
it's still incorrectly flagging and
[236]
closing shops
[237]
um etsy i mean you know i've seen some
[240]
things i've seen some some blogs started
[242]
by disgruntled x
[243]
etsy employees that kind of reveal a lot
[245]
about the company so
[246]
maybe i'll talk more about that in the
[248]
future maybe not i don't know we are
[249]
always working to improve the accuracy
[250]
of these systems and to make sure that
[252]
this is a rare occurrence we aren't
[254]
able to share any further details but if
[255]
this reoccurs in the future please reach
[257]
out to us at integrity
[258]
etsy.com so we can resolve it as quickly
[260]
as possible thank you for your
[261]
understanding so it's almost like they
[262]
expect it to happen again
[264]
they say if it does you can reach out to
[265]
us here i'll be honest you know being on
[268]
this side of the curtain i do
[269]
hear a lot about people having these
[271]
issues so i know which ones
[273]
or i have some semblance of an idea of
[274]
which ones are more common
[276]
getting an account closed very early on
[279]
after opening your shop
[280]
seems to be very common or after your
[283]
first order
[283]
seems to be very common so that's
[285]
probably why you're watching this video
[286]
if it happened to you
[287]
and you should be able to get your shop
[289]
back no problem just by shooting off
[290]
that email but there is one other
[292]
issue that i've seen and verified myself
[294]
that it was occurring
[295]
where a shop was not closed but you
[297]
couldn't find the shop in etsy search
[299]
even though the shop was open you could
[301]
direct link to it and it would work and
[303]
none of the listings were indexed in
[305]
etsy search
[306]
and that was a very weird thing i think
[307]
i've seen it like one two or three times
[310]
and the only resolution i ever heard
[311]
about was reaching out to etsy support
[313]
to get those reinstated and etsy support
[315]
had to reach out to engineering to get
[317]
it fixed so i don't know why these
[318]
things happen
[319]
it's weird that they happen when etsy's
[320]
got such a massive scale you'd think
[322]
that their code would be sound but
[324]
it doesn't really sound like the case
[325]
anyways just wanted to share that with
[326]
you in case it happens
[327]
and that's it for this video guys
[330]
subscribe so that you don't miss part
[332]
six
[332]
where i'm gonna show you exactly how we
[335]
got our first five star
[336]
etsy review which is really important
[339]
because the reviews apply to every
[340]
single listing in your shop so getting
[342]
that first one is
[343]
super important and it we got the five
[346]
star review on our second order
[348]
so i'm going to show you exactly what we
[349]
did to make that happen make sure you
[350]
subscribe so you don't miss it
[352]
