The abusive power of corporations hits again:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL OF MY CUSTOMERS ON ETSY:
First of all, I want to reassure you that all purchases made will have their jewellery arrive as normal.
Secondly - Etsy just closed my account. I have no idea why, they didn't even email me, call me or anything at all! All of my customers, hundreds of customers are happy customers who have left amazing reviews and only 5 star ones. Etsy literally made a TON off my works in fees from me bringing all of my customers to my Etsy shop and not customers finding my shop in their search.
I am heartbroken and shocked by this behaviour on Etsy but I am only hopeful that my customers can understand this situation so it doesn't destroy my life's work.
I work at least 12 hours a day from the moment I open my eyes until I fall asleep doing my best to make a living from my art.
This will not be destroying my life's dream, I actually have my own website which I had been building for the past few months and will release as my own brand and shop, and I also sell in other ways (PayPal, transfers etc).
I HIGHLY SUSPECT THIS IS AN ANTISEMITIC ATTACK - Because if it was only a technical issue of some sort then I believe they would have emailed me before just suddenly closing my account - I had 0 warnings! And they did do this to other Israeli artists before, I recall the story of an Israeli artist who had her listing close down which was a painting of the Bibas family, and withing my landscapes series I also made non political Israeli nature encapsulating jewelry, as well ones inspired by the nature of Norway, Bermuda and the American East Coast.
My handmade jewelry business is my life's dream and I couldn't be more thankful for the support I've been receiving from my customers. It has tripled in its success in the past few months and I couldn't be happier, but now all I feel is heavy stress.
Customers who are still waiting on your works, be sure they are all on the way, I had literally just sent out 10 packages today which were purchased in the past few days.
Rest assured, I have used yesterday's panic attacks into adrenaline hyper fixation to finish my very own website, if you'll consider supporting my work on it or in private, that would mean the world to me: https://emmanuelleskaly.com/
Thank you for your support. I will never stop creating and will never accept letting abusive corporations turn down the passion of small business owners.
