Hypothesis
Etsy search shows a new shop's well-tagged spreadsheet templates to buyers (spreadsheet shops report $100k-$250k; HelloTemplately 4.7k sales). A shop of 10+ focused small-business templates (Google Sheets + Excel, working formulas, honest previews, AI use disclosed under 'Designed by') priced $9-$19 gets its first sale within 30 days of opening and reaches 10 sales/month by month 3, with no outreach or ads. Etsy is merchant of record and pays out to Israel via Etsy Payments.
Stop rule
Kill at once if Etsy refuses/suspends the shop or flags listings under its AI rules. Owner wait: an owner step not done 14 days after it was raised (15 Nov) -> pause. Signal = Etsy views + sales, clock starts when 10 listings are active: 0 sales and under 100 listing views in 14 days -> one revision pass (titles, tags, images); 0 sales 21 days after the revision -> kill.
What we tried
2026-11-02 11:45Z: Etsy API probe GET /v3/application/openapi-ping: 403 'API key not found or not active, or incorrect shared secret' with x-api-key keystring and with keystring:shared_secret. Still pending review; no Etsy mail in tuper mail. left as is.
