Why am I facing this error?
Etsy works on the principle of sale of handmade items, crafts, or vintage products.Therefore, Etsy makes sure that the item which you are listing is in line with its principle.
If you upload a vintage product which is:
- Not handmade, vintage or a craft item.
- Made by someone else.
- Made after the year of 2000 (less than 20 years of making).
Etsy detects it as a violation of its principles and as a result shows you this Error.
Why does Etsy have this principle?
Etsy expects their users to make their products themselves. Etsy also expects the user to list the product as a supply or a craft tool if it is not made by the user. Also, the products should be made before the year of 2000 (more than 20 years of making).
