- Please do not post referral links for Etsy or another service. If someone requests a code for free listings PM them the link. If you offer a service for Etsy sellers, post your info in the weekly Share Your Stuff thread.
- Feedback Friday: No Requests for Shop Feedback / Critiques Except on Fridays: Shop critique requests and requests for feedback are allowed on FRIDAYS ONLY. Please follow the guideline post linked here in order to post a shop feedback request.

- READ THE FAQ FIRST! No Low Effort Content / Misinformation: Please read the stickied FAQ post and use the sub search feature before posting! Many questions have been asked and answered before! Repetitive posts may be occasionally be removed at moderator discretion.
- Additionally, please keep content helpful and constructive. Misinformation is subject to removal. Repetitive rants & complaints may also be removed. If you are just here to complain, please do not participate as we want to keep the content of this sub helpful for those needing advice.
- Weird messages from "Etsy support" / Scam Attempts: If you got a weird message from "Etsy support", you are not alone. We are currently getting posts just about every hour asking about these messages. THEY ARE SCAM ATTEMPTS. Full details here, and please do not create new separate posts asking about them.
- https://www.reddit.com/r/EtsySellers/comments/15ng6bm/a_guide_to_scam_attempts_on_etsy/
- No Trademark/Copyright Takedown Questions: Asking why there is copyright infringement on Etsy is a super common question here. The answers are always the same, so here's a link to the answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/Etsy/comments/1cxylia/what_actually_is_etsys_ip_policy/ Note that we do not allow encouraging violating copyright here.
- No Blog Posts, Topics Unrelated to Etsy, Promoting Other E-Commerce Sites, or Links with No Context: Blog posts go in the share your stuff thread
- asking for free products in posts, comments, or PM. Posting your personal, non-Etsy shop or your shop in addition to Etsy is okay. Drive by spammers who post links to non-Etsy e-commerce venues will be banned. Links posted with no context or poorly explained context, or posts not directly relevant to Etsy, will be removed.
- Remember the Golden
- and Don't Be a Dick: This subreddit is a place free of excessive cynicism, negativity and bitterness. Healthy criticism and skepticism is fine under certain circumstances, but toxic attitudes, rudeness, and nastiness are not welcome here. We realize Etsy can be frustrating to maneuver, but creating an excessively negative impression for customers harms all shops.
- Also: no naming shops or individuals suggesting they are scammers. This is not allowed per Reddit's anti-doxxing policies.
- Please Post Surveys and Seller Tools in the Share Your Stuff Thread: If you are doing research for school, a magazine, etc. or are studying buyers, sellers, marketing, etc, please feel free to post your survey ONLY in the Share Your Stuff thread. The same applies if you are looking for feedback on, testers for, or to promote a tool for sellers.
- No Asking for General Newbie Advice/Asking What You Should Sell: If you are just starting out, please read the Etsy Seller Handbook for advice and guidance on opening an Etsy shop. You may also utilize the search subreddit feature to see responses to this type of post in the past.
- Etsy is for handmade items, vintage, or craft supplies. If your item or idea is one of these things, great! Start a store. What determines success is how hard you're willing to work and learn about Etsy. Start your store then hit up the monthly critique thread for help.
- Celebratory Posts Are Only for 100th/1,000th/10,000th/100,000th Sale: We love to celebrate, so post to let us know about your 100th, 1,000th, 10,000th, and 100,000th sales *only*. Please follow the rules outlined in [this post](https://old.reddit.com/r/Etsy/comments/hu970w/survey_results/?) when you hit these milestones.
- No Posts / Comments Asking How to Violate Etsy Policies, or Encouraging Policy Violations: We are trying to make money by selling handmade or designed items on Etsy. If you're found to be reselling factory produced items you will be banned. Proof is necessary for reselling claims.
- Please don’t post on here asking how to skirt Etsy’s Prohibited Items or other policies, which includes reselling and copyright items. They are prohibited for a reason.
- Posts or comments which advocate for violating Etsy policy or the law will be removed and will result in a permanent ban.
- No Asking How to Contact Previous Buyers or How to Turn Favorites Into Sales via Messaging: Please do not ask how to export previous buyers' email addresses for the purposes of sending them a newsletter. Buyers must opt in to any newsletters. Signing them up on their behalf violates Etsy's TOS and GDPR.
- Don't ask how to turn favorites into sales. Contacting people who favorite your items is SPAM and against Etsy’s policies. Do not do this.
- Account Suspension Posts: There are many reasons why a shop or account may be suspended. Please thoroughly read and go through the checklist post here (https://www.reddit.com/r/Etsy/comments/uwrqck/account_suspension_help_checklist/ ) Your question is almost certainly covered here. If it is not, please reach out to us via modmail.
- No AI written content: We've been hit by waves of bot accounts posting duplicate AI written content, including posts and comments. This is not allowed here. Please write your own content if you want to contribute.
- Violating this rule will result in a warning. After that, it's a ban from the sub.
