Permanent Suspension

Can I reopen after an Etsy permanent suspension?

Etsy's permanent suspension notice states the decision is final, but appeals are still read where the seller brings verifiable new information. What does not work is opening another shop under a different name.

Root Cause Analysis

Permanent closures typically follow repeated intellectual-property reports, prohibited or misrepresented items, handmade-policy violations, a linked previously suspended account, or unresolved order and refund problems.

Required Documents

  • The suspension notice with its date and reference
  • Evidence answering the stated reason — licences, material receipts, production photos, delivery proof
  • Explanation and documentation of any linked account
  • Records of refunds issued to affected buyers

Recovery Steps

  1. 1

    Answer the exact reason given

    Etsy's notice names a policy area. Anything else in the appeal is noise.

  2. 2

    Resolve buyer harm first

    Refunds issued and orders delivered before appealing are strong, verifiable facts.

  3. 3

    Disclose linked shops

    A shop Etsy already knows about, undisclosed by you, ends the review.

  4. 4

    Do not register a new shop

    New shops on the same identity, device, address or bank are closed automatically.
