Etsy review: Creating a shop

I went and created an account on Etsy for the purpose of opening a store to sell my 3D printed items and designs.

The same day I opened the shop after providing all the necessary information, the shop was immediately suspended with no explanation. I filed a support case with Etsy and after 2 days I got a message that my request to unsuspend the stored was denied without explanation of any kind. This is supposed to be a brand-new store that was never opened before, so no policy violation happened.

here is a copy of the interaction with Etsy Help:
