I used to sell etsy-related graphic design on etsy, and had to pull everything from my shop and open my own site because I was told I could only sell avatar, banners, and business cards. Many other designers were flagged as well. YET etsy continued to allow others to sell the things we were told were not allowed. So we designers fought to get all graphic design services related to selling on etsy allowed, and with the last rule change, that was implemented.
Today, if she could sell photo manipulation of people's products to get "knock-out" pictures. Which is allowed. And they told her no. Now, we have people who've read the thread and are going to go flagging and getting listings pulled because etsy can't keep their shit together. I'm so sick and tired of this, I'm about ready to give up on etsy com-fucking-pletely. We fought, and lost money on listings, and had our businesses suffer to get things changed for the better, and for what? For etsy to forget its own damn rules? Unbelievable (well, actually, I guess can believe this, seeing how etsy's been going lately).
