I've seen SO many posts all over Facebook about people's listings getting removed and/or their accounts getting suspended in the last few days!

All of the posts I have seen have been using the most popular Comfort Colors tshirt mockup, purchased from a store on Etsy. There could be others that have been affected using different mockups, but the ones I saw they all used the same mockup. Apparently it's the Etsy Bots trying to crack down on anyone reselling, so I guess they are looking for similar photos listing thousands of times, and that particular mockup is super popular and all over Etsy.

I too use this exact mockup :(

I had a look through Etsy's rules and it seems we are not allowed to use mockups for POD? :( Apparently you can only use photos in your listing that either come directly from your POD partner (eg Printify, Printful), or photos that you take yourself.

Here is Etsy's official image listing requirements: [ Ссылка ]

I am now going through and deleting all tshirt mock up images that are not directly from the Printify site.

Seems ridiculous that Etsy allows mockup stores to exist on their Etsy if we are not able to use them!
