Terms of Service & Etsy Open API v3 GovernanceDOC-TOS-2026.1 · US LLC COMMERCIAL TERMS

ListMend Terms of Service & Acceptable Use

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 · Built for Commercial Etsy Operators

Mandatory Human Review

Zero autonomous listing spam. Every optimization requires explicit seller inspection and approval before publishing.

Zero Scraping Policy

ListMend strictly prohibits screen-scraping, headless browser automation against Etsy servers, or rate-limit evasion.

2026 Creativity Standards

Automatically flags and appends required Etsy AI creation disclosures whenever a seller marks an item as created with AI.

01.Purpose of Service & Multi-Door Architecture

ListMend provides catalog diagnostics, ≤15-word title readability assistance, keyword-to-tag migration, and algebraic shipping-to-retail margin calculations across three sanctioned channels: (1) Official Printify API, (2) Etsy Shop Manager CSV & user-invoked Companion Chrome Helper, and (3) Official Etsy Open API v3 with OAuth 2.0 PKCE.

02.Seller Responsibility & Pricing Verification

While ListMend's Margin Rebalancer computes penny-exact variant prices accounting for standard Etsy transaction (6.5%) and payment processing (3.0% + $0.25) fees, sellers remain solely responsible for verifying final retail prices, Offsite Ads fee obligations, regional tax settings, and accurate representation of handmade/POD production partners before clicking Approve.

03.API Rate Limits & Token Revocation

All API calls respect official Etsy Open API v3 and Printify API rate limits with exponential backoff. You may revoke ListMend's access at any time in 1 click via Door 03 (“Disconnect & Revoke Token”) or directly inside your Etsy Account Security settings, which immediately terminates API access and deletes stored tokens.

04.Scores, Estimates & No Guarantee of Results

The catalog health score and the issues ListMend reports come from ListMend's own checklist, which is based on Etsy's published seller guidance as we understand it. They are not Etsy metrics. Etsy can change its rules and its search at any time, and ListMend does not predict or guarantee any change in search placement, traffic, or sales. Always confirm current requirements on Etsy's own pages before you approve changes.
