Want to audit your shop yourself?

The checklist workbook is the manual version of what our engine does. Same criteria, same classification logic — you do the reading, you make the calls. One evening, one shop.

What's inside the 8 sections

1
The rule in plain English

What changed August 11 2026, what qualifies now, what doesn't — zero legal-speak.

2
Classification checklist

Run every listing through red flags and green flags. Get a SAFE / AT RISK / DEAD verdict per listing.

3
Shop inventory grid

Fill-in worksheet — one row per listing, your whole shop mapped in one sitting.

4
Three remediation paths

DEAD: remove voluntarily before flag history. AT RISK: redesign or disclose. SAFE: document anyway.

5
Evidence pack checklist

Exactly what to save NOW — source files, drafts, timestamps — so an appeal is organized, not a panic.

6
Fill-in appeal template

Written the way reviewers actually read. One good appeal — most sellers walk in empty.

7
AI disclosure how-to

AI art is still allowed, disclosed. Exactly what to tick, per listing — the setting is per-listing, not per-shop.

8
Final self-audit checklist

Close the loop in one sitting. Your shop, classified, documented, defensible.

Who this is for: sellers who want to understand the criteria themselves and work through their shop at their own pace. If you'd rather our engine read your listings and hand you verdicts, the DFY tiers are on the front page — report in your inbox within the hour.

Who it's not for: shops that only ever sold 100% hand-made original work. You're fine. Keep going.
