A while ago on my facebook page I noted one MORE step (beyond reporting specific items/shops) we can take as artists to reduce the numbers of blatant re-sellers here on Etsy: encourage our own customers to shop ELSEWHERE when appropriate. I'm hoping that by educating for customers to know when the "handmade" wool is being pulled over their eyes, so to speak, the over-priced NON-handmade masks listed here will decrease. Hopefully making Etsy less accommodating for these kinds of sellers will start to help out those of us still putting work into our art!
Here's the original rant:
