Root Cause Analysis
Etsy's Integrity team flagged listings as not meeting the Handmade Policy. Most commonly: undisclosed production partners, listings that match dropshipped catalogs, or photos that match listings on Alibaba, AliExpress, or other Etsy shops.
Required Documents
- Production photos showing your workspace, tools, raw materials, and works-in-progress
- Shop-specific photographs of every active listing (not stock images)
- Designer credit / production partner declaration if any item is produced by a third party
- Materials sourcing receipts (raw materials, blanks, components)
Recovery Steps
- 1
Audit every active listing
Remove any listing you cannot prove you made or designed. Replace any stock or supplier photo with original photos taken in your workspace.
- 2
Declare production partners properly
If you outsource any step, add an approved Production Partner inside Etsy Shop Manager and reference it in the listing description.
- 3
Draft the appeal
Open the suspension email and reply with: a clear statement of policy understanding, the specific listings you removed/edited, photo evidence of your process, and a one-line preventive measure.
- 4
Submit and do not open a second case
Etsy treats duplicate cases as evasion. One appeal, one reply per follow-up.
