On a more serious note, could the purse be vintage, just mistagged? They say they sell vintage, and all the other items I looked at were also tagged vintage. Of course the possible mistagging should've been corrected too by now...

I want to know if OP was muted for this. If not, I'm gonna try it! :)

Christie - many people (including myself) have been muted in the past for calling out a reseller.

Just warning you. :)

flagging either doesnt work, or it seems to take thousands of people flagging the same item(s) for months before anything is done.

calling out resellers and bad items in the forums seems to work ALMOST immediately....

I've seen flagging work and also seen etsy play favorites for whatever reason.

It's so frustrating. You'd think etsy was concerned with maintaining their site's integrity. Of not, they might as well do away with the TOU and admit it's a listing free-for-all.

Hi all. I haven't been muted as of yet. I really hope I don't get muted, but if I do, at least something was done about it. The shop is empty now. Hopefully they are making her bring her shop up to "code" ...

Peikkonen- it's not vintage. Chanel didn't make that style in the 80's.

It wasn't just the bag- she had non-vintage, non-handmade watches listed in the handmade jewelry category, she had some vintage things listed in the jewelry category, the whole shop was a mess. But that bag was the most obvious and it had been flagged for weeks with no action taken. The day after it's called out, the shop is empty.

Admins keep on saying that there is no backlog in the flagging team, every flagging report is looked at in 24 hours, and that calling out doesn't help, but that is not what we see with our own eyes. If they really wanted to stop the calling out then get the flagging team sorted out!

Also, scented, the muting team also has a backlog and you sometimes don't get the muting until 2 weeks after your infraction, so it might still be coming.

Baloney. If that's the case, they're condoning reselling, simple as that.

If Etsy truly cares, why don't they tune in to Callin' Out On Etsy? They're doing all the work for them over there.

Yes, I know about the delayed punishments. I hope I don't get muted, but my daughter is about to have a baby so I will be in vacation mode soon so I hopefully won't feel the "sting" of the punishment too much. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, but I'll expect the worst and hope for the best.
