After opening my new Etsy account, it was suspended the very next day — even though I hadn’t listed a single item for sale. No reason was provided for the closure. It appears that accounts opened from Turkey are automatically subjected to this kind of treatment, and I believe this may stem from discriminatory behavior by Etsy staff.
During my conversations with customer support, the moment it was mentioned that my account was created in Turkey, the account was immediately suspended without explanation. I had already paid the $20 account setup fee, my identity was verified, and there were no discrepancies or violations of any kind. I have also been a successful Etsy seller for two years with my previous account, never facing a single issue until now.
This is not only a discriminatory act but also a deeply unfair and unethical practice. I demand that Etsy reinvestigate the suspension, reactivate my account, and address this apparent bias against sellers from Turkey.

Hello there, roughly a month ago, I signed up for an account on Etsy. Soon after I made my account, it got suspended for no apparent reason. Afterwards, I was requested to verify my identity. Even though I sent my identification and tax documents multiple times, my account still wasn't approved. I'm...
