For years, [https://www.etsy.com/shop/MakedaWordOfGod etsy.com] many sellers bypassed this by sending a PDF summary of a reading or a photo of a cast spell. However, Etsy is now cracking down on listings that promise a specific outcome—such as wealth, love, or [https://www.etsy.com/shop/MakedaWordOfGod etsy.com] health—categorizing them as "unverifiable claims."
