Her announcement: This store is now in vacation mode. Someone has hacked into my store and taken down my items. Sorry for the disruption.
Her feedback: 88% 21 negatives almost all in a row.

So if there is obviously a problem with her not delivering goods AND the shop is in vacation mode, HOW is there an item available to buy?

WTFraud!

PIF FAIL

Pay It Forward’s are supposed to be .20 with free shipping but let’s take a looksie around the Etsy horn and 3 readers found these:

artfaerie
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22228730 (39 0f 74 items are PIFs)

chrissycreations
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26912446

ShanasShop
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28781856 (18 out of 43 items are PIFs, 14 of the 18 are also tagged ’sale’)

mandalarain
“Please do not purchase this without another $10 item from my store — it will be cancelled” http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27896079

100% of it is being donated to charity. does that make it a pif? i’m not sure i understand. is it mistagging, or is it etsy legal?

For a while, she kept putting up alchemy requests for donations, usually refillable ink cartridges. Now she mistags PIFs.

Vintage FAIL…

These boots were on the front page. They are “Vintage 80s Etienne AIGNER SIGNATURE ” boots.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20184185 in GoodEye.

How can these be vintage when Etienne Aigner only made umbrella’s, perfume and other small accessories until 2000 and didn’t start making leather goods until 2001?

And these, from <a href="in GoodEye“>GoodEye, http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=25667327 can’t be vintage because Adrienne Vittadini didn’t get into the glasses biz until 1996.
This shop has a few other things that are made by brands not even in existence 20 years ago.

And these DKNY boots in nstylevintage are probably not vintage since DKNY wasn’t formed until 1989 and the shoes and boots weren’t introduced until a couple years later. The lace up boots weren’t popular until the late 1990s so I doubt these meet the 20 year test.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28921972

bsochic‘s description says “These sunglasses are from the early 80′s”, yet, DKNY wasn’t founded until 1989. Say what??
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24278080 (Make sure to check out her feedback for a negative about misrepresentation.)

AntiNu doesn’t even know Etsy’s TOS and writes in the description that the shoes are “about 16 years old.”
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29446569

It’s fun to search for stuff made by designer’s that haven’t been around for 10 years, let alone 20, to see what you come up with. You’d be surprised!

Straight Off The Streets!

Here are a bunch of shops with that “off the streets” quality…

I just stumbled on this shop:

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5865526

and don’t know what to make of it. The supposed artwork looks copied from other artists. The books, well, I’ve seen that before and it sucks, but is a franchise.

What about all those “paintings” of other artists work?
And the personalized notes?
weird, just, weird.

Parisera goes on the forums and admits that she just designs but does not make her jewelry. WJW.

Reader Email-

I sent two e-mails along with flags reporting two sellers who are selling mass produced jewelry from Korea/China. I provided links to their Etsy listings along with links to other big box foreign jewelry websites carrying the exact same merchandise, but the shops are still there and their items not removed. This is a genuine concern of mine, as I am a handmade jewelry seller and there is already enough competition amongst handmade sellers themselves. I feel that their presence on Etsy completely devalues
‘handmade’ and wondering why they are still selling despite the multiple flags sent along with proof that their items are not handmade. Thanks in advance for taking the time to address this.

Feminist Review Spam

A blog called Feminist Review is spamming Etsy shops with a vengeance about getting freebies sent to them to review on their blog.
http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6188227

Unfortunately sending an item to India for free does not mean it will even be a good review..

Pretty sad when an ENTIRE shop is made up of copyrighted items. Sigh.

Also this is pretty funny.
She’s basically saying “Etsy made me take down the listings, but I still sell them so email me to buy them.” LOL
She didn’t bother to remove the many, many other copyrighted listings in her shop.
