We finally got around to making a proper shop front. our focus so far has been #marathon but we are slowly spreading towards other games like raiders of sophie. check out our marathon section https://t.co/M5gOYvBqge
So sadly, @Etsy decided to ban our store under “Prohibited Items: Weapons.” Somehow, the attached image is apparently too realistic and comes across as a real imitation weapon (even with the fixed orange blaze tip).
Etsy seems to have had it out for us from the start, sadly. Not-
i will attach another image with proof. as you can see. they didn't ban us based on TOS. simply a two tier system.
thanks for reading this far

@Shopify is more suited to us and allows us to keep our prices lower overall. Unlike Etsy, which takes 6.5% of every sale from small businesses, Shopify offers a flat-fee pricing structure while providing many of the same benefits.
place the same order on shopify but for a bit cheaper. thanks for the support but etsy was never meant tobe. frankly i think its a power trip because based on their own TOS, that image does not break TOS while also on the same platform, there is real looking guns with no tip.
Sure why. They’re just not for small businesses, after all. Half their listings seem to be AI-generated or dropshipped products, yet they’re always promoting themselves as a platform for handmade items. It feels rather contradictory.
but good news-
@JoshHauserman@TauCetiGG we did! its because one of the d54 skins didnt have a more clear enough "blaze orange tip" even tho i say it was pretty clear, but its a two tier system, we look at other props on the site which contain zero orange blaze tips but their fine. i think etsy just have it out for us.
PS, Etsy thinks the props are REAL weapons so they suspended the store, waiting on appeal which as i expect it to its going to fail will then proceed to make a shopify store ^^. be sure to follow for the news
Unfortunately, Etsy’s AI moderation system appears to have incorrectly flagged some of our 3D-printed props. We’ve submitted an appeal and are awaiting a response. We appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this issue!
Our Etsy store is temporarily on hold while we await the outcome of an appeal. If successful, orders will proceed as normal. If unsuccessful, we’ll issue refunds and send buyers a link to our new Shopify store to purchase our 3D-printed props.
Thank you for your patience.

@KeystoneDrone@Turtle_Proxy@DeadDropFabs@ViagraPussy Legally theirs nothing they can do. if he was selling the STL files ripped from the game yes. but 3d printed fan props is 100% legal (if they like it or not) but also i doubt a huge company like that would bat an eye
@FilleJument@cybrexistential@Turtle_Proxy@Mythoclast_X@DeadDropFabs@ViagraPussy Sadly the EU (im from the UK) have ruined small businesses shipping from outside. id have to pay hundreds and hundreds to ship to each EU country now due to "packaging waste" laws. trust me its annoyed me so much i cant provide the EU guys with my props
@Dad_Shit_@ViagraPussy We are based in the UK, but we almost exclusively ship to the US, UK, and aus area. We are no longer able to ship to the EU due to new packaging regulations. We haven't had any issues with US orders so far
