Policy changes go into effect next month.

Online retailer Etsy will prohibit sales of most sex toys, content that depicts sex acts and genitalia, and more starting July 29.

The indie seller published its Adult Nudity and Sexual Content policy yesterday, which states that sales of adult toys that are insertable, “applied to the genitalia,” or “designed for genitals to be inserted into them” will be prohibited. That pretty much runs the gamut — dildos, vibrators, rings, plugs, and the like will be banned.

      My favorite was the one that generated a ship code but never actually shipped the item, and kept telling Etsy “Oops - one more week for us to get this figured out” every time I complained with Etsy until the refund period ended, and Etsy stood behind them.

      I’m never using Etsy again after that bullshit.

        So that’s fraud, report it to your state/local AG office of consumer protection. Might be able to get your money back.

          Or just contact your credit card provider and say the item was never shipped, because it wasn’t. Bonus points if you can prove that they never sent you a tracking number. If Etsy won’t help you then fuck them.
