That is how people get around it. If someone complains to Etsy, they will check into it and you can have your site removed. That is the extreme, but it is in the rules. Usually they will just email you that their is a question about a certain item you are selling. Remove it and the inquiry stops. They have really beefed up the dept that checks into things - not so much for the home seller, but to make sure larger companies aren't coming in and reselling stuff.
