Why This Email Is Sent
This message appears when Etsy's automated risk system flags your account for a routine or triggered review. It's often caused by sudden changes in account activity, geographic anomalies, or a pattern that deviates from your established baseline.
What It Means
Your account is temporarily under scrutiny. Some features — such as payouts, new listings, or ad campaigns — may be paused while the review is in progress. This is not a final verdict. Most reviews are resolved within 3–7 business days if you cooperate promptly.
Common Triggers
Sudden spike in transaction volume or account activity
Login from new geographic regions or devices
Business model change detected by automated systems
Flagged by another user or a routine compliance audit
First-time high-value transactions after account dormancy
Typical Review Duration
Most account reviews are resolved within 3–7 business days. Complex cases involving multiple flags may take up to 14 days.
How to Resolve This Suspension
Respond promptly to any requests for documentation. Provide clear, consistent information that matches your account records. Avoid making additional changes to your account while the review is active.
