My view: DONT DO IT or STOP DOING IT! Etsy used to shut down all shops tied to you if one got flagged...even other people in your household. But lately, I’ve noticed that backup shops aren’t being auto-closed like before. That doesn’t mean you're in the clear forever. If your current shop is at risk, open a backup shop now while you still can. I keep seeing post after post of people crying because their Etsy shop got shut down for selling copyright files. I get it. I’ve been there. I lost my own $10K/month Etsy store over this exact issue. So let’s be clear — this is your warning shot. 👉🏾 And no, it’s not Etsy randomly flagging your store. It’s usually a copyright holder (or their legal rep) who filed a takedown. These companies hire entire teams whose only job is to search platforms like Etsy for violations — and yes, even something as small as a graduation cap with school colors (without the official logo) can get you flagged. On top of that? Your COMPETITORS can report you too. Some folks are out here reporting shops just to knock out the competition. Etsy doesn’t get involved in the drama so save the customer service emails — their system is automated. If someone files a claim, Etsy acts fast. They don’t argue or mediate. They protect their own platform. Let me repeat that for the people in the back: 🎯 Even if you think the design is safe… 🎯 Even if you altered the graphic… 🎯 Even if it doesn’t have a logo...If the colors, theme, or recognizable marks can be traced to a brand, university, or media company — you're vulnerable. And when your shop is gone... it’s gone. No payout. No appeal. No warning. 💡 Here’s What I Did: After I lost my store, I shifted all my energy into a backup Etsy shop that had been sitting dormant for months. It was clean. No copyright files. No risk. Now that shop is finally growing, and I’m laser-focused on building it back up to $10K/month by January 2026 — but this time, it’s all original or safe-to-sell content. If you’re serious about building a digital business that lasts...

eBosses, I’ve been developing a new tool that I think can make listing on Etsy a whole lot easier for us. It’s called the Etsy AI Listing Assistant Beta Website, and here’s what it can do: ✅ Upload your image → it instantly creates a lifestyle mockup and an 8-second promo video ✅ Generates a full Etsy SEO package for you: Title, 13 Tags, and Description (ready to copy & paste) ✅ Can even generate fresh images for you. You’ll just need to remove the background in Canva first, then upload it back into the system to build your listing. I’m still fine-tuning this, but I believe it’s going to save many of you time and anxiety as well as help with procrastination when it comes to listing products and getting your digital business started on Etsy. ✨ Right now, it’s FREE for 30 days (maybe more) while we test and tweak it. Once finalized, there will be a subscription. NOTE: I am still in the testing phase so it may or may not be fully functional. 👉 Try it out here: Etsy AI Listing Assistant Beta

Drop a “Sale” in the comments if you’ve got one running! So there I was, casually scrolling through Etsy like the digital bargain hunter I am… and guess what I didn’t see? SALES.Some of y’all got your shops playing hide-and-seek with the algorithm—except Etsy ain’t out here searching like that. Here’s the truth: Etsy loves a good sale. Turn one on, and suddenly you’re the main character—front and center, getting free promo. No sale? You might as well be chillin’ on page 37 with the tumbleweeds. 🌬️ Turn that sale on. Let Etsy do some of the heavy lifting. Get seen, get clicked, and get paid. 🛒💸
