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.

New under Member Accounts:

• Don’t use profane or racist language in your username and/or public profile.

• Don't use profane or racist language or images in the public areas of your Etsy Shop, such as: username, public profile, item title, first image of a listing, tag, avatar, banner, announcement, and/or shop section.

The rules for listing Mature Content items have not changed.

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