Never mind. Stay with your own website and do some organic SEO. Good luck.

File an online complaint with BBB. Let etsy spend about the same amount of time you spent figuring out their weird game. I did.

You got that right... like a sitting duck, you're there for a couple of days & when scammers are done with you, Etsy shows up but actually to kick you out... you end up sharing your ID, bank account and credit card and spend hours uploading products. I wonder if they've got some internal issues

Exactly. I had to cancel my credit card bc of rampant scammers posing as Etsy Support in their own proprietary message center. And the mess went on and on... who runs that company 🤔 store put on hold, no email even though they promise they would let people know what needs to be fixed. Horrible

Then you don't dream at night? Mr Sandman no REM for me for I am in the process of creating my next oeuvre . Such a hard work. Laudations

And no, I am fed up with screens especially since I hate being slapped by a metal hand in the middle of the night.

Yes, I do fall asleep reading and that screen comes crashing at me the moment I lose consciousness. Getting old are we?
