Vintage Shop
New member
I am in Japan and I sold mainly vintage dollhouse items, rare stationery and dolls from the 60s and 70s. I also sold handmade brooches that took me days to make. I woke up one day to see my entire shop deleted from Etsy. This was done without warning and I was sent no emails at all prior to this. I wrote to the admin there but they have not replied. Before this happened I had contacted support about 2 months ago for help, they did not even bother to communicate with me even then. The vintage items I listed applied to their rigid rules (also tagging) that the items had to be older than 20+ years. Moreover, these items were rare and sometimes dead-stock items that are hard to find.
This kind of management is just so disgraceful and reflects so poorly on the image of Etsy.
Just making a engine search on the two words 'bad' 'etsy' and I found a list of sources that revealed that there were many other users who experienced this sort of treatment before.
I just wonder how their future is going to end up if they continue with these practices.
This experience has left a bad impression on me and I'll make it known to most of the handmade community in Japan.
