Suspension riskFP-1 · Fees & Payments Policy
Shops with overdue billing balances or unpaid fees will be suspended until payment is made
What Etsy says
If your shop is suspended due to an overdue bill, pay your bill and your shop will automatically be reinstated, as long as there are no further causes for suspension on your account. Suspended or terminated members remain obligated to pay Etsy for all unpaid fees.Read Etsy's full Fees & Payments Policy

- Identify the outstanding balance and pay it using an accepted payment method.
