Policy Talk: Minor update to the DOs & DON'Ts

2007-11-27T11:40:00-05:00

In order to clarify Etsy’s policy concerning the use of language and images on the site, Etsy has updated the wording of the DOs & DON'Ts slightly. (Please note that these are not policy changes; these are the same policies that were implemented at the time the DOs & DON'Ts were launched Spring 2007.)

People on Etsy come from many different walks of life; we're an international, multi-cultural marketplace. These policies are about keeping this community healthy – and growing. Reaching a diverse audience is essential to the success of our marketplace.

Please brush up on these policies and make sure your shop is up to date.
