I started up my account for the first time in at least a decade and received an account violation strike within 24 hours for pinning “adult content.” No information provided to explain or otherwise identify the offending item. Nor anything remotely helpful in figuring out the who, what, where or why. Did I mistakely pin a photo with visible toe or ankle? Who the hell knows. Fully half the things I pin vanish within a few hours so there’s literally no chance of deciphering the batshit crazy community standards.
I’m so glad I didn’t invest any real time or energy into this platform and I hope this post helps prevent anyone else from making that mistake
I’m talking about their fucking asshole practices and vague, arbitrary bullshit.
I never used Etsy before in my life and created a new account. I looked at a bunch of stuff I was interested in, favorited a bunch of stuff I planned to buy later, and placed an order for something I wanted now. They immediately canceled my order and suspended my account. No explanation, nothing. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY AT ALL to contact them. There is only a fucking AI that does nothing.
I feel bad for the sellers that could have made some good money off me, but I will never try using that shit-ass site ever again.
