[vt @VenusTong]

@RadziwillLee Very on brand

[vt @VenusTong]

@SophRossss Omg you should’ve!!!!

[vt @VenusTong]

@marquelawyers Hello! I have an inquiry that I would like to reach out to you about. May I get an email address since I can't DM you on here? Thanks!

[vt @VenusTong]

@Etsy @AD46766659 Hello. I need help— you’ve locked me out of my store for the same reason!

@jgsilverman I am artist/illustrator — Etsy suspended my ac w/ out warning. Everything I make is original, hand made & one of a kind. So why @Etsy did you close my account?! This is happening to me & so many others!!! It’s insane.

[vt @VenusTong]

@jgsilverman I really wish you didn’t get rid of Etsy customer service phone line. How are u keeping the platform “keep commerce human” when I can’t even reach a person within your company?! Every appeal i submit is met w/ an automated response.

[vt @VenusTong]

@krutipie every submission I make online now, I get an automated response. I need an actual human to look into my case. Can you please help me?

[vt @VenusTong]

@krutipie can you please help? Everything I make on my store is original, handmade, one of a kind and I illustrate all the prints and artwork myself.

[vt @VenusTong]

@krutipie etsy has suspended my ac multiple times and now, again. Each time iv had to explain to a rep & they’ve apologized for their bad automated system that keeps looping me in with bad shops by accident. There’s no # to call now so I can’t get in touch with anyone :(

@CharleiCoffey hello! has Etsy fixed your shop? They have also closed mine — like you, everything I make is original and they have randomly suspended me as well :(

[vt @VenusTong]

@Etsy can you please help me with my store? The team at Etsy unexpectedly suspended my account with no clear explanation. It doesn’t make sense. I have emailed to justify & even proved to you that those are my original work. Please help.

[vt @VenusTong]

@JennnaSky @Cptk85 @Etsy The years that I spent on my business everyday has just disappeared in one fell swoop. Tbh, 80% of items on there aren’t originally since people purchase art posters of music and movies which are obviously DUPED.

[vt @VenusTong]

@CreativeWisdom_ Haha, thanks! Good uck on your ventures as well and good chatting! Night!!

[vt @VenusTong]

@CreativeWisdom_ Plus some reviews about them taking money from sellers … yeahhh, ok not worth it !!! Same on Reddit too, people complaining & venting on there as well !!!

[vt @VenusTong]

@CreativeWisdom_ And one had a seller who been on the platform for 12 years. TWELVE. Ok, I feel a bit better now since I’ve only been on there for 2 and made a Shopify because I couldn’t rely on being switched off for NO reason.

[vt @VenusTong]

@CreativeWisdom_ Omg absolutely shocking … this one “You would have better luck contacting the president than getting someone at Etsy. Tried to text with one representative, and ask how this happened. They wanted a $1 to answer my question.” LOL WTF!

[vt @VenusTong]

@CreativeWisdom_ Movie posters, art posters, TV shows …where Warner bro, Sony, Disney lawyers at? If that was the *case* literally Etsy should cease to exist because that’s basically what people buy on there. Reprints, “digital downloads” & knock offs is basically the business model here.

[vt @VenusTong]

@CreativeWisdom_ I had ONE order that I had to send out today. Luckily, payout was already on its way for EOD before they suspended me. 😅 that was a close one. Honestly, but can we talk about how are people making fake art posters and reprints get away w shit like that???
