    Unfortunately Etsy doesn’t allow you to fight a trademark claim, only a copyright claim. Someone filed a trademark infringement against a few of my listings even though they are NOT infringing on their trademark. Etsy told me I basically have to ask them to withdraw the case, which of course they won’t do - they won’t even respond to emails. So frustrating that Etsy allows a trademark holder to file a case against you without checking to see if it’s valid. They just automatically remove listings if a TM claim is filed, whether it is valid or not, and they don’t allow you to contest it.

    Just don’t make copyright material or write copyright material and also I hate Wells Fargo. They are my bank and have been for years but they’ve been fucking up lately. Also, scammers now will message and act like interested customers. If they lack a picture and they’re asking how you’re doing or complimenting your store go and mark the message as spam.

    Hi..I turned my existing Etsy account into a POD seller account a few months ago so it lists my shop age from when I joined Etsy many years ago...2009. Will this affect my success on Etsy, or should I open a new shop? I never sold before on Etsy. I have not had any sales yet, just a few favorited items. I started listing in November. Looking for advise since they are making changes for new stores opening. Love your channel!!

    Thank you for this. I'm in an etsy fb group and I see so many people's new shops getting suspended. I didn't and I wondered why. I think it's because I filled out everything I could find, did the shop story, the profile, banner, logo, etc. plus my bank is in the top 20. It's good to know. I was wondering if I should play the lottery? lol Anyway, I'll direct them to this video. I also check every phrase I come up with on google, google images, uspto, etc to make sure it's not a problem. 🤞🤞🤞

    Okay I keep hearing different things about the location of where you are, and where you're selling to.
    I'm in Australia, but targeting to the US.
    I've put my location on the shop front as the US, because then it markets to US audience. Otherwise if I change it back to Australia, my products show up more so to Australian residents, not US consumers. My profile states I live in Australia in another section...and I've not hidden from Etsy that I'm in Australia. What am I supposed to do?

    YOUR VPN ADVICE IS WRONG. You'll get your shop banned for using a VPN and pretending you are somewhere else.
    Yes, the guy who had his shop suspended at the height of Q4 had Sooooo much trouble to get it back. I think he opened a store like Shopify as well now (or before that happened) so his finances won't be done in by being only with ETSY.

      @CassiyJohnson  4 місяці тому +4

      I have tried it on my shop and for the listings that are selling a lot, it is super close to accurate but it's still all just an algorithm to guess based on how many favorites and reviews it has, so it'll never be 100%. It's more a tool to help you quickly and easily weed out the listings that are doing well instead of having to manually look through 100's and try and guess how many sales they have yourself based off the same information if that makes sense!

    Hello Cassiy, loving your series, and even signed up for your mini course, but I had a question. If you have to use a different email address for each Etsy account do you end up with a tons of email accounts you have to check and use? Will I end up with a dozen, a hundred, a thousand email accounts? Thanks in advance.

    • @CassiyJohnson
      @CassiyJohnson  3 місяці тому

      You do need a new email for each account but I recommend only having one Etsy shop! You can sell different niches and products all in one store. It’s easier to focus all in one spot for sure! I’ve got a video on my channel about niche stores vs general stores that would be worth a watch if you’re interested!

Thank you.

    You can also lose your shop by having "too many cases" opened against you. How many that is, who knows - that's up to etsy but it has definitely happened. ( had an non-pod etsy store since 2008, Ive seen a lot, LOL )

    A less common way is to get too many orders, too quickly. If you can't process orders fast enough (Because, you don't have enough working machines), and the process times go up accordingly, the later batch of impending "late cases" will suspend your account.
