Violated Etsy's Creativity Standards

Jump to solution

Today, Etsy closed one of my top selling items because they said it violated Etsy's Handmade Products Policy - Violated Etsy's Creativity Standards. I want to draw your attention to the fact that this item is completely handmade by me. The entire creation process from design to final production takes place in my workshop, which is in line with Etsy's handmade products policy. We have been selling for 7 years.
It's not so hard to understand that someone from AliExpress just steals photos and plagiarizes products. Why can't Etsy improve its webcrawler performance? I can't contact Etsy - they are only quick when it comes to deducting commissions.

If you know your pictures have been stolen, and are used on ali-express, issue a takedown notice 

ths is alibaba, it includes aliexpress, make sure you tick DCMA - copyright, as it defaults to IP

https://ipp.aidcgroup.net/#/ippHome

apart from the fact they have stolen your IP, and you have to police your IP,
they are using your photos, to steal your customers and sales money away from you, even without this new check by etsy, you should have been filing takedown notices anyway.

...

in your appeal to etsy, give hem copies of the takedown notice/s, and videos of you making them.
