I got an email from Etsy's Marketplace Integrity yesterday, to inform me they closed my shop at Etsy's for listing faks. I got an warning last week for listing a "fake" blue 9136 small pocket zip, my only other listing (beside the hand made tea rose charms) was a 1999 limited edition made in Italy Python Clutch, it was deemed " fake" again, thus they closed my account.
I feel Etsy's Marketplace Integrity team is such a joke, as both bags are absolutely authentic, they were both authenticated at time of purchase, last week I requested the blue 9136 to be looked at again at AT thread (page 4007), and forward the link to that page to Etsy's, to appeal my case. Instead of fixing their err, they decided to close my account.
Honestly I don't mind at all, as I was overwhelmed with has to maintain a leather work shop, I am a very lazy person, will only do things when I feel like it. It is kind of a relief they closed my shop.
Still it doesn't make sense why they do such thing, as I see plenty of fakes listed at Etsy's and they did nothing, the only time they did something turned out they were completely wrong. I have no interest to give any of my future business to Etsy's, will just stick to good old eBay instead.
For record, here are my two " fakes" that Etsy's ruled as against their policy
