    😊 Alek, can you try a 30 or 60 day challenge, opening a new Etsy shop without running ads and record your real progress, selecting and designing products, so everyone can see if opening an Etsy shop in 2024 still works or not.

    Your videos are always interesting Alek. However, I have just closed my shop on Etsy, it's just a waste of time, the site is massively over saturated with everything from T-Shirts, Mugs to digital products and the only way to make any money is to spend a fortune in advertising and even that's no guarantee. I work 9 hours a day and I am far too tired to spend time creating new designs for either T-shirts, Mugs, etc. But I do enjoy your videos.

    @@_g4m3r_ Yeah apparently this is a new thing Etsy rolled out a couple months ago. Luckily I had opened a shop before this came into effect but I guess it's a deterrent for people to post low quality listings. No idea why they restrict the account from the beginning though. This is a bot issue that needs to be fixed by Etsy. The way I see it is that the decision makers at Etsy must be thinking that if even 2 out 10 people don't bother appealing the ban after the store is created, they've pocketed $30 in pure profit.
