Original Post

I apologize if this has been definitely answered by admin, I looked for it and could not find it.

If you have your facebook fan page in your announcement, and you have an Artfire Kiosk on your fanpage (you can shop from there) is that considered the 2-step?

I also have the Etsy app on my fanpage, so the shopping is spread around.

Thank you for clarifying, I know I'm not the only one. I've taken the fanpage reference off my etsy store for now, but I'd like to put it back on.

No I don't see why that is an issue they have to be on facebook to access it right?

If you have a kiosk on your Facebook page where people can purchase the same items you have on Etsy, you shouldn't link to it. (I can't post a link to the thread where admin stated this because it has been closed.)

Thanks to Flanders, here's the quote from Rob White:

"If you sold any of the same items in the kiosk on Facebook that you sell on Etsy, that would not be okay."

It's too bad he didn't include the above in his announcement, as the post above is in a closed thread.

Sure hope I'm not in trouble for posting it here, but I think it could be helpful to us all.

Thanks Flanders <<waves>>

According to Rob it is, which doesn't make sense to me. I have sent a convo asking for clarification.
