cowhide, is leather !
belt was originally made for another buckle so the screw is improvised ,

not native made......but the buffalo nickels are a nice touch..

 

wow !!!!!
they're really loose here on Etsy!!

engraved horse and shoe............NOT !!!!!

Navajo handmade ................... NOT !!!!

 

Thanks all!!

 

Yep, they are too busy taking down and deactivating spoons etc since they now deem them as things for drugs.

 

I had no idea. What spoons? All spoons? All metal spoons?
Egads! We could choke ourselves with a plastic spork!

 

Hi anti.
a fellow etsy seller had some vintage metal spoons in her shop and they were deactivated because the bots said they could be used for drugs.
Also glass straws are being pulled as well for the same reason.

 

no....just cocain spoons.......
..
..
..
..oh, wait........they're ALL cocain spoons......

 

I better not list my vintage measuring spoons.

 

Decorative demitasse silver spoons would seem suspect now too...

Where does one draw the line.....?

 

When bots control a site like they do now, everything is suspect.
There is a holy mess there on etsy with what they are doing.
And the fact that they pull all these items means that some or most of the sellers get a notice that their money from sales are on hold for listing bad items which are not bad.
The morale there is so mad and low, I am so glad I have nothing listed.

 

right about here !!!!!!!
( & those are huge lines...)

 

I wonder if the same applies to ebay? I plan to take a break from dabbling sales there. Since January at ebay, I've sold only a dozen items and already tired of it.

xscary!

To me, this face always looks like it has a bad sinus problem!

 

So weird,i just bought that Opium Pipe off Etsy ! (and it got thru Customs easy-peasy).
Some people just list their paraphernalia as 'O*ium''Chinese Pipe',etc,but most spell-out the entire word.Seems the same for 'Marihuana','Marijuana','Weed',strange AI.
PS-That Emoji looks like it just got an exploding cannabis seed up the nose !

 

Yes for some reason those pipes are still there and the sellers remain untouched.
Gotta wonder what is really going on there.

 

What will AI attack next ? Spoon,House,Wagon,Tree...See Spot run.

 

What will AI attack next ?


Us ..............

 

I haven listed anything new on Etsy since they required bank account confirmation using a third party verification service. Had been selling for years with no problems receiving payouts, now I suddenly have to submit my account info to some outside service? Hard pass

as for the AI problem, back around January I got a permanent ban from OfferUp for violating their “dangerous weapons” policy for listing a sterling WWII qualification badge similar to the one shown below. The word “rifle” set off the AI. No amount of appealing or explaining could get my account re-instated. Always received an auto reply of serious violations have occurred.

 

JP-Can you query Bot Central before listing to make sure you're not using any forbidden words ?
