Hello everyone! I haven’t been here for a while, as I’m very busy with my main work - holistic therapy, healing and shamanic work; but I just wanted to make an announcement, that Etsy has permanently closed my shop 😕
No warning, just this email below, and I can’t even log in anymore, after 11 years…
To clarify - what they mean by violation of “prohibited items policy” - is something that I’ve an had issue with multiple times. Their (clearly faulty) algorytm kept flagging my handcrafts as illegal 🤷♀️ because according to them, it CAN BE used for whatever snuffs and powders people want to use, and the pipes I was creating are meant for to***co product.
Anyhow, the argument always was - it’s not up to me how someone will use what they buy in my shop, they can stick it in their ear for what I know.
Bottom line is - I make handcrafts! Tepi, Kuripe and custom Sacred Talismans.
Unfortunately their decision is irreversible and no explaining will help, because I’m no longer talking to humans there, only AI that has been programmed this way.
Shame on you Etsy! Thank God I don’t rely on this shop for income…
So! I will keep this account active of course, and if anyone would like to order a custom piece, ceremonial tepi pipe with crystals or a talisman, you can dm me and we can go from there.
🙂🙏🙌
