Features
The done-for-you Etsy AI-policy compliance fix — we scan every listing against Etsy's October 22, 2026 rules, prove which photos are really unedited from the image files themselves, and hand back a fixed, evidence-backed shop. No SEO tool. No DIY homework.
What HonestListing does for you
full scan of up to 100 listings, per-listing verdicts, prioritized fix list, disclosure copy pack.
Audit for up to 300 listings, plus fixes written for you — disclosure copy placed, photo-order + reshoot plan per listing, guide-listing remediation plan, and an appeal evidence pack (your originals + process proof, indexed). (Most popular.)
monthly re-scan of the whole shop, pre-publication check for new listings, and an alert the day Etsy changes the policy again.
How it works
Send us your listing export + your original photo files (a shared folder link is fine). Five minutes.
Our auditor inspects every image file's EXIF/XMP/PNG metadata — camera-original, edited, AI-generated, or unprovable — and applies all six Oct 22 rules per listing.
In 48 hours you get the verdict per listing (PASS / WARN / FAIL), the exact fix for each failure, and ready-to-paste AI disclosure copy written for your listings.
Fix Pack buyers: we write the fixes, build your photo-reshoot shot-list, remediate guide listings, and assemble your appeal evidence pack — you just re-upload.
Questions
What exactly changed on Etsy on Oct 22, 2026?
One unedited photo of the real item in every physical listing; AI-generated patterns/recipes/guides banned (your own work only, with a photo of a real result); bot-made listings banned; AI art allowed only with the AI attribute set and AI use explained in the description; prompt bundles still banned. Details in Etsy's Seller Handbook post "Important updates to AI use on Etsy."
How do you prove a photo is unedited?
We read the file, not the picture. A camera-original carries camera EXIF (make/model) with no editing-software tag and no AI-generation parameters. Photoshop/Lightroom/Canva leave a Software tag; AI generators leave parameter/prompt chunks. A file with stripped metadata is marked UNKNOWN — it can't prove anything, so it never counts as your unedited photo. Honest limit: metadata can be forged by a determined expert; our check catches the real-world cases — edited exports, AI images, and screenshots — which is what enforcement and buyer cases turn on.
Do you log into my Etsy shop?
No. You send an export + files; we return documents. You (or the Fix Pack's step-by-step sheet) apply changes in your own Shop Manager. Your credentials never leave your hands.
