If they do not like what you sell on there, they will just ban your shop and your account. they will not accept your appeal.
they use people from India.

The sellers that got banned likely broke the Terms of Service, and were selling items they shouldn't have been.

I'm just selling 3D printed parts and my Gameboy homebrew, so I'm in the clear.

What exactly did these stores sell? I like Etsy mostly for my phone to find weird stuff that I normally can't find.

I have no problems using Etsy, most likely they got banned for violating the TOS.

I had my account banned for no reason. Especially confusing since I'm not a seller. I just contacted customer support and it got resolved in a week or so, but I can imagine it's a bit more complex if you're selling something they don't like.

Modded consoles that don't have pirated games, but also comes preloaded with "games" 😂
The problem with Etsy all has to rely on selling pirated games, consoles and/or storage medium with them, for a really high price than what it was originally. Wonder if they're gonna be investigated by Nintendo sooner or later. 😂

"Free SD card gift!"

But yeah, when I sell a Gameboy, I load up a 32 MB GBA bootleg cart with a bunch of GB and GBC games so the customer has something to play right away. I don't advertise that though, to keep my account clean.

I like how you ignored the addiotnal detail people are asking for

But from the sounds of your latest post it sounds like you're just salty that you where the one who got caught breaking the ToS

You probably also run around call of duty with a mod menu and wine when it gets detected

"rules for thee but not for me"

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds

    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
