[QUOTE="pearlsnblume, post: 4418458, member: 141"]I can't speak about ebay, but etsy uses bots to pull listings with words they consider bad. For instance, they recently pulled listings with the word amber in them. Why you ask? Because there was a story about a toddler who swallowed amber bits from something and either passed on or got sick. So, they decided to have the bots pull many amber listings. If a seller had an amber colored tablecloth, they could have the listing pulled and perhaps be on the etsy bad list. This is what happens when they use bots and poor judgement. As to the Cuba thing, it is because of the embargo from what I understand. So you can not put Cuba in the title or anywhere in the listing. Plus they have no warning on many listings so if you make an innocent mistake, they can suspend the shop. Yup, and there are many other no no's. However if you want to list doritos which is not a supply or vintage or craft you are most welcome to break the rules.[/QUOTE]
