Is there a way to let other Etsy Sellers know about a bad buyer without breaking the Etsy rules?

No. You can convo a few friends, but making a public annoucement of any kind breaks the rules. Etsy admin does not tolerate calling out.

You can't, it's considered calling out, and is against the terms of use.

Think: what was a bad experience for you may well have been a bad experience for them, too. Do you want them telling the world you're a bad seller?
