Re: Has this been forgotten about?

Yeah I guess so...I just got an etsy style newsletter or something this morning with two blatant resellers at the very top...How about we all chip in and build ourselves a little factory in china?

Here's hoping that it was just not lip service to quiet the natives. I seriously hope they were being sincere but have seen no results.

Re: Has this been forgotten about?

no no no that's being way to creative....What you have to do is just get them to make whatever it selling at that moment on etsy! If we really wanted to get back at them we'd start making the same things they do and undercut their prices.

I'm talking about 2.00 owl necklaces, 10.00 maxi dresses and 5.00 handbags...we could have little chinese kids cutting out paper mustaches and gluing them onto sicks and just call it a daycare!

Re: Has this been forgotten about?

They're increasing staff over the course of 6 months. It was never going to be an overnight miracle.
I seriously wouldn't want their job. I used to have to take calls and man emails on a daily basis about problems, and we'd go through hundreds of calls and emails a day. And then when you'd add all the multiples, people who give you no information about what is the problem, people being abusive.. it's a tiring job. I only had to deal with 120 stores and maybe 2,000 staff, I can only imagine how hard it is to deal with issues coming in from hundreds of thousands of users.

The only stores I've had taken down were ones where I could provide links that proved they were resellers. So if you've got the info, share as much as you can with them, makes it easier and faster for them to shut the resellers down.

Re: Has this been forgotten about?

Thanks for the info; it would be nice to hear from admin though, straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. The only reply i ever see from admin on this topic is “let’s wrap this up". Frustrating

Re: Has this been forgotten about?

I tend to remember every time I check where my items are in the search or categories.

I honestly don't believe there will be that much of an improvement. There was a thread about collectives and what are the limits. I don't think it was ever answered.

I don't bother flagging because I can't tell anymore. I always thought mass produced stuff was not allowed and see mass produced designers a lot, and I'm thinking they are allowed under the collective or "production". The do not clarify it at all and it so confusing.

The collective and the production are a contradiction when you read the TOU.
