Hi there 👋
@PinterestBrad @PinterestGabby
I hope everyone is doing well getting close to the holidays.
I have been reading this thread and I decided to read more about the VMP on Pinterest and so to be clear I Blog and Consult and I do not sell products on Pinterest.
I definitely can hear and see the frustration that people have and I feel for those who have difficulty especially when its down to making money and getting everything running perfectly for your business.
I visited some sites and I must say they are really great! However, they are lacking in one thing really good website policies. I saw a lot of sites that either have no policies at all or the policies are not visible and when I did finally get to the policies often they were so vague that I had a hard time understanding them. Try not to skimp on this part its really important to protect yourself and your customers in addition to third-parties and others.
Some of the comments on this thread are really out of frustration and I totally get that but I really believe that it is the responsibility of the business owner to make sure that there is transparency and proper website policies in place and from what I saw that it isn't the case. I don't think that getting upset with someone really actually resolves anything - the managers here on the Business Community I believe legitimately do there their very best to try and help us and I think dumping on them makes no sense they cannot say this but I can and I think everyone needs to slow down, READ THE GUIDELINES, research other online companies and see how their website policies are presented, and then make the changes to your sites and reapply and keep doing it until you get it right.
I sincerely hope that your businesses are successful but I would ask that you approach the issues in a calm and kind way.
