Perhaps Etsy are finally trying to suppress the IP infringements. About time too. 

[PlatypusDream]

Actually, they are.

Around Xmas when I searched for tshirts, 90% of the items were for unlicensing Disney and Grinch items one week, then Etsy announced they are using image recognition to suppress all of the illegal fakes. This was just before the Super Bowl.

After the announcement... only a few strays.

It is well known they are using new image recognition to shadowban items.

@REGGIESSPIRITSHOP: Unless you are hoping for a visit from the Mouse with a court order to confiscate everything which is used to design, manufacture, and market intellectual property (IP) infringing items, you need to include the licensing for any trademarked or copyrighted names and images you use. The phrase "Disney Inspired" is using their trademark to market your items and is not a valid defense to IP infringements for profit.

we can't and won't help  you, you are infringing IP
