Etsy just keeps hitting me so hard, no matter how perfect a seller I am on their platform.
I'm pretty sure they're about to ban ALL of my magnetic products due to ‘child safety laws' in the U.S. This is about 50-70% of my income.
I... I just can't even. I never market them to children; they are not listed in children’s sections and are clearly marked as not intended for children.
I got an ominous email today from support, but there was no content in it yet; I assume it's only a matter of time.
