Hey! I'm a buyer. Well, a lurker. I finally made my first etsy purchase earlier today (ordered an item as a gift and had it shipped to a friend). Awhile later, I found a second item I wanted (same day) and tried to order that too. I got this error message:
Your account is currently suspended
Etsy has suspended your account privileges. Please check your email for a message explaining why, and how to restore your account. If you have further questions, contact Etsy Support.
I did not get an email from etsy, even though it said I should check my email. I haven't ever used etsy before and I don't understand why I am suspended for only purchasing an item.
UPDATE: I received an e-mail back from support after contacting them. My last name and first initial (at least, maybe first name too) are the same as another user who is banned for "policy violations" and so they have banned me as a linked account. Again, I don't have another Etsy account and never have. What can I do? Anything?
