PSA: Took me 6 weeks to figure out why my Etsy listings were getting flagged

I kept getting dinged for 'prohibited items' and finally realized it was because I used the word 'organic' in my soap descriptions without certification. Anyone else run into weird keyword bans on these platforms?

Last I checked, Etsy lets you say organic if you're being honest about your ingredients.

Keep your ingredient list handy on a separate page and screenshot your supplier certs too. Ive had buyers ask for proof before and it saves a headache to just link them right there. Also double check your labels don't say "certified organic" unless you actually paid for the certification, that gets people in trouble fast.
