Picture Thief Warning

[Former_Member]

There's currently a Etsy shop member who's using other Etsy members picture to sell items in her store. She sells mostly video game items, so check the store out to see if anything you sell is in there.

She's hit quite a few of us and so far Etsy has done nothing about her using photos from other members. Maybe if enough people complain.

She has about 7 items that use photos from other Etsy members or items from other artists and refuses to remove them.

Well, her store wasn't shut down but we did manage to get her to remove the picture finally. Perhaps at a cost though - appears my Etsy store has been shutdown. Maybe for defending my work when Etsy wouldn't?

Oh sorry to hear that. Why would she steal people's photo's? Dose she even have the items in the pictures she stole?

[Former_Member]

I'm sorry that you got shut down, PixelatedCreations. I hope Etsy it going to rectify the situation soon.

Hello,
I'm sorry to hear about these problems, but we can't discuss them publicly on any Etsy forums. If anyone's photos are being used by another seller, please contact Etsy Support and they will tell you how to report this. Thank you :)
