As a U.S. multinational operating in other countries, Etsy must comply with economic sanctions and trade restrictions, including those imposed by the U.S. Treasury Department`s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). This means that Etsy or anyone using our Services cannot deal with specific people, places, or products from locations determined by government agencies such as OFAC, in addition to trade sanctions imposed by applicable laws and regulations. Etsy provides a direct connection between buyers and sellers around the world. If you use the Etsy Services (we refer to etsy.com, Pattern by Etsy, our mobile applications, and other services with our „Services“), you are responsible for compliance with these Policies, regardless of your location. Read Etsy`s legal terms and policies. Economic sanctions and trade restrictions may apply and vary to your use of the Services, so Members should periodically review sources of information about sanctions.

If we have reason to believe that you are operating your account from an authorized location, such as: any of the sanctions listed above, or otherwise violate economic or business restrictions, we may suspend or terminate your use of our Services.
As a general rule, participants are not allowed to offer, buy or sell products from regions sanctioned for sale. This includes products that appeared before the sanctions, as we do not have the ability to verify whether they have been moved to a prohibited location. Etsy reserves the right to require sellers to provide additional information, indicate the country of origin of the product on the product page, or take other steps to comply with it. We may deactivate products or cancel transactions that may violate this policy. The CAPTCHA could not be loaded. Try disabling your ad blocker or using a different browser. Finally, Etsy members should be aware that third-party payment processors such as PayPal can independently track transactions for compliance and block transactions as part of their own compliance programs. Etsy has no power or control over independent decision-making processes in such systems.
