Whether you’re closing your Etsy shop for good or just need to take a break from selling on the marketplace, there are a few things you should know. First, know that you can delete your Shop Manager account in two different ways. You can delete it permanently or temporarily by following the steps below. In this article, we’ll discuss how to delete a Shop Manager account, or simply delete products from your Etsy shop.
Temporarily close an Etsy shop
Closing your Etsy shop is easy, but it does require specific steps. There are two types of closure – temporary and permanent. Read on to learn more. If you decide to temporarily close your shop, make sure to follow the instructions carefully and avoid violating Etsy’s terms. You’ll need to delete all your products and information from your Etsy shop before you make this decision.
Before closing your shop, you should notify your customers. Make sure that the details are accurate before shipping the items. If you have sold on Etsy for some time, you may have to wait a few weeks until you can reopen it. You should also allow time for your new listings to appear in search results and for your old ones to be removed. After that you have to ensure that you’ve removed any duplicate listings so that your store remains visible for other buyers.
You can’t permanently close your Etsy shop without deleting the balance and transferring your data to another platform. In addition, your shop’s name and associated items will be lost. If you want to continue selling your Etsy items, you can log in with your username and password and make a new shop. Afterward, you’ll be able to sell the items you previously listed.
Permanently close your Etsy seller account
If you’ve been banned from selling on Etsy, you may be wondering how to permanently close your Etsy seller account. Before you do, here are a few steps you should take. First of all, you should understand the reasons why your account was suspended. There are three main reasons: a balance overdue, a permanent suspension, or an “other” suspension. Before you get started, you should familiarize yourself with the rules of Etsy, such as the fact that you’re not allowed to sell intangible items, digital items, and restoration of a broken item.
To permanently close your Etsy seller account, log into your Etsy account and click “Close Your Account.” On the next page, click “Sell Your Artwork on the Web,” then “Close Your Account.” You’ll then be prompted to download your shop’s data, which will be provided to you as a CSV file. It includes all listings, descriptions, and sales. Some sellers also save their settings and reviews.
In order to permanently close your Etsy seller account, you must meet all of the requirements of national and international law. The criteria for permanent deletion vary based on your location and the country you live in. Nevertheless, if you have a legitimate reason for closing your account, you may want to consider reopening it. Just remember that you cannot use the same email address for another Etsy seller account if you decide to reopen your shop.
Delete products from your Etsy shop
To delete a product from your Etsy shop, follow these steps: Log in to your Etsy shop, go to the ‘My Account’ page, and click the ‘Close my Etsy shop’ link. You will be asked to confirm your decision, but it’s totally free. There is a 30-minute waiting time for this process to complete, so be patient and don’t be hurried!
To delete a product, you can go to the item’s page and click “Edit”. The ‘Edit’ button will appear. This will take you to a screen that will let you edit the description. Click the ‘Delete product’ option and select a reason for the deletion. Delete products from your Etsy shop is a permanent action that cannot be undone. However, you can temporarily close your Etsy shop by selecting Vacation Mode.
If you decide to remove a product from your Etsy shop, remember that the deletion will last for three months. You will have to renew your listing after this time. Be sure to follow all Etsy guidelines for listing cancellations, and be sure that all issues have been resolved. Once the listing is closed, it will no longer be visible in search results. Once you’ve deleted a product from your Etsy shop, you can’t recover it.
