Is there an "easy" way to do this mapping with local lakes and ponds? Without disturbing/hurting fish and other wildlife?

I second this. Maybe it's time to trying to shift your job slightly. Maybe you could get into something like consulting for your company or "we brought a tech guy with us" when sales goes to a customer. That's nothing th

Captcha has always been very US-centric for obvious reasons. I can see somebody less "open-minded" easily fail some of these tasks.

Sorry to hear that and the best of luck that your account gets reinstated!

Ah, I see. Their Zendesk doesn't show any addresses for me at all. Will have to look into that, though.

The links you posted refer to windows for buildings, not for those built into caravans.

Do you mind helping me out with that mail address? You can find mine on the profile page.

Bullshit, that's not in the slightest what I was making.

by martin_a 3y ago
Ah, I've done all that, I've got nothing to hide. Wrote a nice "about me" text and all. If it was an undelivered mail... Well... Still nothing to nuke an account for.

Obviously that would be the jackpot: Somebody working at Etsy, helping me understand WHY exactly the account was banned and not only the product (which would probably have been an option?!?). Give me back the account, I will come up with so

Yeah, I always thought about them that way, too. The wife of my friend thought Etsy would be a great place, because lots of people put caravaning accesoires up there for sale. There are also various hooks, cup holders and whatnot coming fro

Yeah, I know WBS. Still thinking it would most probably not be worth the money and that I should really get a law protection insurance in the near future. :-D

See "edit2" in OP. I was very careful not to advertise the part as "the one solution" for any security problem. That was mostly out of fear of liability, but I also wanted to make people think about whether the part woul

Done, see above/OP.

I've added it in the original post: > The part in question is a little addition to the normal window locks. You can slide the part over the window lock handle and it will anchor itself between handle and window frame due to its geom

Thanks, solid advice to minimize "losses" at least.

Just search for "3d print dragon" and you'll see what I mean. Everybody is selling the same model. Licensing seems tricky to me on that model for example, not sure how Etsy would control if you've really paid the origina

Call it clickbait. In case I can't get my account activated again, others might save the time with setting up on Etsy and just do something else right from the start.

As commented somewhere else: Not sure if this would be worth it at all.

> The part you're making might have some legal issues? Well, then they should tell me and we can figure that out. Or come to the conclusion that this part should not be sold on Etsy. That would be fine for me, too. But this generic

I'm in Germany. Not sure about the whole legal thing, I think even talking to a lawyer would probably be more expensive than just moving on. Which is kind of "giving up", but yeah...

Here's what I can say: It's an accessory for the caravaning/vanlife scene. Nothing obscene, nothing legally critical.

Well, the problem is that the HN crowd is smart enough to build that part itself and ruin any chances for me in the market. ;-) It's an accessory for the caravaning/vanlife scene. Nothing obscene, nothing legally critical.

Tell HN: Makers beware, Etsy will ruin your small business

Sounds Swiss, I'd be careful with that.
