Ever had a listing randomly vanish from Etsy with no explanation? 😳 Or maybe you’ve heard whispers about copyright crackdowns and policy changes that left you wondering if your shop is truly “safe”? 🫣

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how Etsy’s policies work in 2025 and how you can protect your handmade business without losing sleep or second-guessing every listing. 😌

💻 We’ll walk through the real reasons Etsy updates its rules, the most common mistakes sellers make (yep, even without realising it), and what Etsy’s new focus on transparency means for you. 🕵️‍♀️✨

You’ll learn:
✅ What Etsy’s “House Rules” really mean
📝 4 key best practices every seller should follow
🚫 The most common IP mistakes (and how to avoid takedowns)
🔍 Why Etsy is finally shifting from punishment to seller support
📌 A simple 2-step action plan to protect your shop this week

This isn’t about scaring you, it’s about empowering you. 💪

Because when you know the rules, you can sell with confidence and clarity. 🛍️🎉
