I sell stuff on etsy and just received this email. "Hello, This is Corinne from Etsy Support. Thank you for being a member of this community; we admire your business and selling spirit! We are getting in touch to let you know that we are tightening up enforcement of our existing policy, and we need you to remove some of your listings. Etsy's policies state that some items are inappropriate for Etsy's marketplace, even though they may otherwise meet Etsy's selling criteria. Per the policy, you may not list the following types of items on Etsy: Drugs, drug-like substances, drug paraphernalia. These items are prohibited. You can read more about Prohibited Items here: Etsy :: Dos and Don'ts and all of Etsy's DOs and DON'Ts here: Etsy :: Dos and Don'ts Please remove the following types of items:    * items with a carburetor    * items with a slide    * all bongs    * all bubblers This is a site wide effort; you are not being singled-out. We are asking all sellers with these types of items to remove drug paraphernalia by Tuesday, March 15, 2011. If you respond to this email with the listing numbers of the items you've removed by March 15th, we will issue you a one-time listing fee refund for those items. We cannot offer a refund for prohibited items that are left active after March 15th. Even if these items are marketed as tobacco only, they will need to be removed.  Any sellers with active drug paraphernalia after March 15 risk suspension of shop privileges. " What a bummer...
are you fucking kidding me....... looks like its time to get some fucking glass before they all go bye bye
Looks like it might be a good time for an enterprising individual to start a paraphernalia/glass handmade exchange market with a small fee.
does anyone think that this just means dont post "bong for sale" or whatever instead say "water pipe" maybe its turning into headshop rules
damn this really blows i was thinking bout starting an etsy account to sell but looks like it aint happening
really not a big deal, it takes about 10 minutes to set up a personal website now, they should all get blogs. fuck ETSY.
I think they're being a little more specific than just the wording of the product page. EDIT: mumbles beat me to it, I took too long figuring out how to do the quotes
..... wtf. i think some one starting a glass site is a good idea but minus the fee.. there going to loss alot of money and business
