Etsy Removed my listing for Violating Etsy's Creativity Standards

I am on Etsy Since 2020. I am a fashion designer and I am working with my small team to produce my dresses from scratch. I had to pause working for almost 2 years during my pregnancies. Now when I restarted my business I saw that my dress designs are all over the internet stollen from different people on Amazon, Aliexpress, and more different websites. I posted my dress for the first time on Instagram on 9 March 2021. Later on it became viral and a lot of instagram pages stole my images and videos. I reported them all for intellectual property infringement and instagram removed them all, some of the pages were even disabled. I would expect the same from Etsy. I am ready to provide all kind of proves that I am the original designer of the dress and the photographs and videos also belong to me. When  I try to contact the Support they send the automatic email which is not solving this problem. Please someone from Etsy contacts me.

Thanks,

Regards

Etsy does not have the ability to remove your photos from other sites!

You have to file your own DMCA takedowns for any sites (or etsy shops) using your images.

Re: Etsy Removed my listing for Violating Etsy's Creativity Standards

I would like to add that I am not expecting Etsy to remove my photos from other sites. I am expecting from Etsy to not disable my listings because they are seen in other websites. I want to go on selling my dresses on Etsy. I am the original authentic designer of the dress but everyone exept me can sell it. It is ridiculous.

" I am expecting from Etsy to not disable my listings because they are seen in other websites."

From the daily forum posts in the last month or so, I have to say that, at this point, that is a completely unrealistic expectation.
