Hello! For what it is worth, I personally do not think there is much to do about the fraud that takes place here or anywhere.. it is unfortunately how some choose to do business.

My advice would be to keep 100 % focus on your own beautiful work. Do not let this discourage your own success, for the people that choose to purchase the items that are not handmade, and with inferior quality, are simply NOT your customers. 

Your customers, will choose the originality and quality that you offer.

Best wishes!

I understand what he's saying.....too many sellers are not making their items but listing through a spin off company. Etsy is about the money....they no longer care as long as they get paid.

NO!  NO!  No!  When we see someone doing the wrong thing, it is our moral and ethical responsibility to do something. Say something. We must speak out against wrong doings on all levels. Cavalier attitudes are why things not only stay the same but increase! Take the extra steps and speak out. The only “unfortunate “ thing about this is peoples willingness to shrug, and say nothing about it!

Report it. continue to report it. Speak up and out. Public opinion changes attitudes and forces growth!

Yes, I noticed so many items sold on Etsy by folks linking themselves to businesses who are making the items....Etsy should not allow it. Who makes phone covers? Who makes pocketbooks?  And the T-shirts are really firm produced.  I'm into vintage stuff and we never get advertised or promoted. I get more business on another site than I do with Etsy.  Etsy should be ashamed of what they been doing.

Report it. If your reports are ignored you have two choices. Continue to feed Etsy or take your goods where they are juried. There are new sites that hold up standards of handmade, cheaper, and up coming. Go to one of them. I use both Etsy and another platform. My other platform I can sell cheaper then Etsy , and I let my customers know about it in their orders!

What is the other platform that you use?
