    I really like that you always talk positive about etsy and the changes they make. Thats a very important mindset to have. I just cannot watch these channels that see everything that etsy does as negative - it just feed the people with a victim mindset. Also really appreciate that i discovered the hormozis through you mentioning them in the past. Thank you

    Does the change with the listing photos mean you have to take the picture of the item and can’t use a mockup? If that’s the case it seems like that means for POD seller we would need to order a sample of every single item we sell. Which seems completely unreasonable to me. I’d love some clarification on this. Thank you for this information!

      Etsy policy states that you CAN use stock photo mockups when you’re working with printing partners (printful, printify etc.). You just need to make sure that you’re using real product photo mockups of actual brands that you’re offering (Bella canvas 3001, Gildan 64000 etc). Also, you’re NOT allowed to use any AI generated images for you main listing image (they can only be used for supporting images)

    In my case, Etsy did not identify my products correctly, in a shop where I sell 99% of handmade jewelry and 1% of POD items, I have all the shop listings saying “Design by the seller”.
    In another shop where I sell craft materials, such as needles and wool (the products are not made by me) it says “made by the seller” in all the listings.
    How to change this?

    For POD items I still find it very confusing. If I make an authentic t-shirt design myself it will be “created by” and if I use the same self-made design but provide the option to include your name it is “sourced by”? Or can it still be “created by” when personalization is included in an authentic design? And did I understand correctly that a purchased design from for example creative fabrica, without any alterations made by me, is not allowed to sell on POD, but when I change the colors of that image or add text to it, it becomes an original “designed by” product? So purchased designs are not allowed to be sold without alterations? This will be a good way to increase variety in designs offered on POD items… Can you check what (new) copycat policies Etsy initiates or intensifies by these new standards? Copy cats are my biggest concern

If this is the case does this mean we will have to change all our current listing photos? I'm a bit concerned about this as what will happen to the algorithm that we have built over time?

    Dear Dylan, you can offer the many training as possible but there is no clue if Etsy wrongly classify the handmade items and apparently you as seller as no power to change the wrong classification because it is re written by and Etsy automation... I have contacted customer support and they cannot give an explanation and what is happening to my store and listing and this is SPEACHLESS because seems ETSY have no control on the changes they have recently implemented. Also they give no solution to this BUG created by themselves. It not involve only me but millions of listing and sellers. his is so frustrating! The category " design by " should apply for digital art or POD or in any case that you have an external supplier but NEVER NEVER NEVER if the item is entirely handmade by the seller. This is what is happening now.

    We are currently wondering about the new policy about nudity and mature items. We sell women's underwear and lingerie, which lots of it is see through. We have our products displayed mostly on a mannequin, but we're concerned. Do we need to censore our mannequin bodyparts? Is lingerie considered mature item? If so, how do we properly tag a mature item? We also noticed something about "no inappropriate review photos". Does it mean we need to report out customers photos in reviews, if they are too revealing?
    We want to make sure we comply with the new policies, but many things aren't very clear just from reading them.

      Thank you for sharing! Mannequins are not nude people. So you do not have to worry about that. If you would like to know is lingerie is classified as a mature item you can send Etsy chat a message.
