Etsy Compliance Checker
That Catches Issues Before Etsy Does
Our Etsy compliance scanner checks your listings for policy violations, trademark problems, and prohibited items before Etsy's automated systems flag them. Stop suspensions before they happen.
5 free scans included. No credit card required.
The Hidden Risk Every Etsy Seller Faces
Etsy's automated systems scan thousands of listings daily. One policy violation can result in:
Listing Removal
Your listing disappears without warning, losing all reviews and SEO ranking.
Shop Suspension
Multiple violations can get your entire shop suspended, cutting off your income.
Lost Revenue
Every day your listings are down is money lost and customers going elsewhere.

What does the Etsy compliance checker scan for?
Listing Compliance Shield checks your Etsy listings for trademark violations (500+ protected brands like Disney, Nike, and NFL), prohibited items, handmade policy violations, safety standard issues for children's products, and other Etsy policy violations that could lead to listing removal or shop suspension.
How is this different from manually checking Etsy's policies?
Etsy's policies are spread across dozens of pages and change frequently. Our scanner automates the process by cross-referencing your listing text against a database of known trademark terms, prohibited items, and policy rules. It catches issues that are easy to miss when reading policies manually, like trademarked words you might not realize are protected.
Can I scan listings before publishing them on Etsy?
Yes. You can paste your listing title, description, and tags into our scanner before you publish on Etsy. This way you catch potential policy violations during the drafting stage, not after Etsy's automated systems flag your listing. Our browser extension also works on the Etsy listing editor page.
Is the Etsy compliance scanner free?
The free plan includes 5 scans per month with no credit card required. If you need more, the Pro plan offers 150 scans per month and the Business plan offers 500 scans per month. All plans include trademark detection, policy violation scanning, and actionable recommendations.
What happens if my listing has a compliance issue?
You'll get a compliance score along with specific issues and recommendations on how to fix them. For each problem found, we explain what the issue is, why it matters, and what you can change. Pro and Business plan users can also generate appeal letters if a listing has already been flagged by Etsy.
