Saw this on Facebook.

I saw this person created a shop on facebook called etsycrafts.com. I'm sure that's got to be some form of trademark violation, right? Maybe etsy can reach out to Meta about this one.

 

Have a look here: https://www.facebook.com/etsycraftscom-106425684423253/

Maybe they can but you would have to notify Etsy.

Re: Saw this on Facebook.

If you’re concerned you should report. No one here can do anything about it.

Re: Saw this on Facebook.

Yeah, it's extremely likely that will be a large problem for the shop owner.  It's always so important to learn about a used platform, legalities of selling in retail and how search works before opening shop. People have tried to do this before.

Re: Saw this on Facebook.

Haven't there been other threads about this FB page?

Etsy could probably press some kind of trademark infringement complaint, but Facebook won't do anything without one coming directly from Etsy.

I've actually seen paid ads of FB for them, TOTAL rip-off of Etsy and their products are crap.  

Report them to Etsy so Etsy can file a DMCA.

Doesn't look like they have an etsy shop. Yes Etsy would have to file a DMCA over that. Maybe reach out to trust and safety or etsylegal  via email or tweet them?

I think Etsy know about it already. There was a comment from admin on a previous thread.
