Hi again,
One thought is to post this question in our PTO and PTA Leaders group on Facebook. There may be some PTO folks in the group that have had a similar experience and could offer some suggestions.
All sellers are in my town and the several surrounding towns. There is no way I can figure out how to contact them. Etsy doesn't list their email addresses or home addresses. I tried google to look up the store names but I only come up with their Etsy shop.
Hi Karen,
Sorry this happened. I'm not familiar with Etsy's policies, but guessing it was flagged because of the volume of messages. If some of these sellers are in your area, is there any other way to reach out to them?
Can anyone help me? There was a post a while back recommending contacting Etsy sellers in your area to ask for donations. I contacted about 30 of them through conversations, more than half said they would love to donate. I was so excited until Etsy said they turned off my conversations feature for sending unsolicited messages.
I have no idea what to do! I can't get in touch with these potential donors any other way that I know of, and now I think I've lost all of these promises.
Does anyone know what I can do? And in the future how would I contact Etsy sellers without getting into "trouble". Thank you for your help.
