Hello! My name is Artem Mikovski, and I’m the CEO of UnlockEtsy.com. Our company specializes in providing marketplace reinstatement services for both individuals and businesses. We focus on a variety of platforms, including Etsy, Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and Walmart. With over a decade of experience selling various products on these platforms, I’ve gained extensive knowledge in this field. Originally from Ukraine, we’re now based in Dubai and currently manage around 50 shops across different marketplaces, collaborating closely with manufacturers and crafters.
How I Began Offering Marketplace Reinstatement Services
My journey into marketplace reinstatement began back in 2010 when I started a family business manufacturing and selling children’s toys. We launched our own website to showcase our products, and for four years, everything seemed to be going well. However, I faced my first major challenge when our online store was suddenly locked. We were inexperienced at the time, and as our business grew, we received a letter stating that we had to close our shop because we were infringing on someone else’s trademark. A large company had registered our business name, and with the backing of their legal team, they took it away from us.
This setback forced us to start from scratch. We began listing our products on various marketplaces, and that’s when I truly understood the potential and risks involved in these platforms. The reality is, while marketplaces offer great opportunities, they also come with significant risks—one of which is the threat of being banned for life, something that platforms like Etsy are notorious for.
Why We Offer Reinstatement Services
Over the past ten years, our company has grown tremendously. We now manage about 50+ different stores across platforms like Etsy, Amazon, and eBay. During this time, we’ve faced nearly 50 bans ourselves. Going through the reinstatement process repeatedly has allowed us to build invaluable experience and establish connections with both legal experts and team members from these marketplaces. Our annual turnover exceeds 50 million US dollars, and we have a dedicated team that focuses on legal matters.
Recognizing the need for reinstatement services, we decided to extend our support to others facing similar challenges. By offering these services, we not only help our friends and partners who’ve encountered issues but also empower our team to work full-time rather than waiting around for a resolution to a specific shop’s legal problems.
If you’re facing challenges with your marketplace account, we’re here to help you navigate the reinstatement process. Please feel free to reach out for assistance!
