She claims to makes almost all of the items (watch the tags, they are all incorrect) – the other she says she repaints, which she doesn’t

That bitch is speed paddling a douchecanoe.
best comment ever goes to stiffler’s mom!
It looks to me like she thinks she’s selling on EBay. Or maybe a garage sale…
Exactly! Seller thinks Etsy’s handmade categories are the same ones used for selling nonvintage decor junque on Ebay. Some of the framed pieces are signed, and not by the seller. Not handmade.
I wanna be Stiffler’s best friend!
Just. Plain. Junk.
How do you know she doesn’t paint the cups and glasses that are personalized? Have you seen them somewhere before?
If she does paint the cups, those are the only legal items in her shop.
Love the braless corpse they have featured now!

Anyone else being over run with BOTS?
It’s insane at Etsy right now, Favoriting ( heart ) Bots to bring attention to Pinterest Marketers…Treasury Bots to falsely add views to treasury. What the hell is going on over there?

Regretsy has spotted a couple resellers it seems. Not sure if they have been called out on here yet. leathersatchel. Everything is from Ebay it looks like: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEON-LEATHER-Fluro-Vintage-Satchel-Women-Mens-New-Messenger-School-Bag-Handbag-/330620346715?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&var=&hash=item4cfa82215b#ht_5896wt_802
ilycouture. http://www.etsy.com/listing/97291580/yellow-bubble-bib-necklace-similar-to
All from Ebay again it looks like: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Yellow-Bubble-Bib-Statement-J-Crew-Necklace/150817765141?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=005&category=499&cmd=ViewItem#ht_2456wt_1413
Okay well, the leathersachel seems fine. I did some more research into it. http://the.leathersatchel.co/ Sorry! They look indentical though! Couldn’t help but be suspicious!
If the item says upcycled it is usually painted, these etsy sellers buy or have on hand several vintage items that is brought back to life to go with our decor we have now. There are so many of the same items on etsy that this seller has as well, if you dont like the items then dont buy it and honestly do not just assume things if you have a question ask the seller and the personalized glasses are made by hand and designed with high quality vinyl that is waterproof maybe you should read the listings a little closer before you assume things.
I am so tired of spray painted crap. It’s handmade Etsy legal but doesn’t mean I have to be nice about it.
A, tell me how she upcycled these, since you seem to know all about the crap in this shop.

Sickofetsyw’s did you take a good look at the framed artwork… not one of them has the same signature, and they are all signed (not by the seller). That should be good for a laugh.
A couple of them look like framed wallpaper. I’m guessing she frequent Savers or Goodwill.
A, no one called out any of the decorated drinkware. A few of the metal items may have been repainted by the seller, dunno. All the rest of the listings linked in the callout were not made by, or altered by, the seller. These are commercial products less than 20 years old.
The new scourge of Etsy.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/MarketingDoug?ref=ss_profile
The thing is, she makes not mention of how the items are upcycled and they do not appear to be repainted. This seller is a scammer and a liar and should be removed from etsy.

http://www.etsy.com/shop/stinnovation?ref=seller_info
Oh please.
So YouNeek! http://www.etsy.com/listing/98768221/steampunk-indian-tribe-chief-portrait
I don’t know much about the shop
Just reading the listings and looking at products. I have seen other shops with much more illegal items maybe this person didn’t tag correctly or something or doesn’t know all the rules you never know I would say they are a liar or scammer that a bit harsh to say. I am all about following rules but some people are just leaving rude comments and that is never nice.
Those of us who actually do follow the rules and still get treated like crap by Etsy are frustrated.
Get over it, A. This isn’t the Etsy forums.
A, if you cannot bother to even read the rules, you shouldn’t be selling on the venue. Every time ahindle78 listed one of those thrift store items as handmade by her, she was deceiving potential customers. There are rules against intentionally misleading buyers on all venues, not just Etsy.
Kiss my ass crampy.
On the FP right now:

Is this shop licensed to use the image, I wonder?
What a train wreck!
The most tasteless case of image theft I’ve seen: “Katie Dudley” favorited one of my items.
http://www.etsy.com/people/katiedudley1?ref=pr_profile
She has over 6000 *pages* of favorites. Not bad for someone who was murdered four years ago — Compare Katie’s profile picture with the woman here:
http://www.katu.com/news/local/123506949.html
I found her in my feed this morning!
http://www.etsy.com/people/katiedudley1?ref=af_shop_favitem
I think we need to go to MyCheapJobs(dot)com and spamm the sh*t out of them! I have reported, this is just SICK!
And “Katie” has already been deleted: well done Etsy!
That Katie Dudley fake is horrific…. but stealing dead peoples images is common! This shop seemd just a bit too homey-twee to me:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/badwsky/3501831897/
New ONE! That was fast!
http://www.etsy.com/people/suziethompson1?ref=af_shop_favitem
I am so sick of people who come to the forums to say how this type of preditory spamming is somehow a “good” thing, as if they are doing you a favorite by making your item they didnt even look at their 2859th of the day?
Maybe they also have no problem with autobots working the treasury? Maybe they just like to argue & be a dick- who knows?!
Spam, sucks. People who spam hoping you are desperate enough to try anything for a sale suck even more, but people who do all that using a murder victim as an avi are just evil.
…AND….Etsy forums SUCK.
After very minimal research I found MyCheapJobs and his other businesses, many of which are Auto Play Cheat sites for Online Gaming , “AutoPlay”. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out who this spammer is & what he has in mind, and if Etsy doesnt get a handle on it any seller on Etsy can & will have that kind same kind of bot for 10.99, just like they can buy a bot to play Pogo games from them. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.
This item was featured in today’s etsy finds. Looks like another ecologogicamalibu situation, but that’s OK! Collectives are our friends. What’s wonky, though, is the actual listing. Only one listing in the shop, but each pic is for a different item. Not just a different color, a different item http://www.etsy.com/shop/brikabrakcolombia?ref=seller_info
TOU violation, no?
SlayBelles (luv your name!), the single listing with multiple items shown in images in that shop is not for any of the items shown. The description says to contact the seller to find out what is in stock. The listing is just an ad. TOU violation, yes!
I can not believe etsy features crap like that without vetting it. Did none of their employees get past first grade? Ugh.
Here is the latest spam in my activity feed
http://www.etsy.com/people/liznorbert?ref=af_shop_favitem
and BTW I left a comment on the flirkr photo of “grandpa”…hopefully the guy whose twitter that is just also has teh etsy shop…and it isn’t some jerk stealing the photo.
THIS just came in an email from Etsy… “Good news, folks! Earlier this week we started rolling out a new billing structure. You will now only be charged $0.20 USD to list or renew an item, regardless of quantity. Fees for additional quantities will only apply when an item sells. It works like an auto-renew feature — when your item sells and you still have quantity left, your listing automatically renews for $0.20 USD. Add the true in-stock quantity of items in your shop and you’ll not only free up time you would have spent monitoring and renewing listings, but you’ll also make it easier for buyers who love more of a good thing!” Right. Real good news.
thinks that anything that lame and pricey from colombia could possibly be anything to do with drugs or money laundering?

Family is important. Integrity, not so much.
@ Stiffler’sMom I was Absolutely right! The only decent thing that Wisconsin pumps out of its state is Cheese, and you are a big part of that! 41 and a tattle tale! LOL I see you are bitter because You cannot get people to take your junk for free on CRAFTSTER! LOLLL Making Frida Shrines are soo Original! LOOOL http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=3ppvu0hfea6rbg2qn7lb61cn97&action=profile;u=40296 You gotten eaten and spit out. Bitterness is a like a disease and you are tainted
Um…Wisconsin is NOT IN Minnesota. And that shop looks like a Goodwill store in an expensive area got picked over and listed on Etsy. Personal opinion but I still don’t believe true handmade artisan craft should be tossed in with second hand junk. It’s kind of like going to an art gallery and finding a bunch of yard sale tables in between the sculptures and paintings…
This blog is a travesty! You should ALL be ashamed, it takes a rotten egg to know one and all of you are the rottenest! You are ruining peoples lives! There are WAY more civil ways to handle these things! Only Nasty Mean Bitches do things this way. SICKENING
ECO UPDATE: (THIS IS STEPHANIE’S SAME IP POSTING UNDER USERNAME “KAYLEY”)
Really Kayley? NAME ONE. Or should we all just be “polite” and let the only real venue for artisans go down the shitter having been turned into another Ebay? People who try to cheat ruin their OWN lives, we just report what we find since Etsy seems to want to protect it’s FOOD, Rotten is when some greedy pig buys cheap from Alibaba and turns around and cuts the throats of honest craftspeople. The REAL travesty is that we are FORCED to do this here since Etsy refuses to enforce its own rules. OBVIOUS lies, (mis tagging,etc) mass produced crap, stealing photos of the DEAD. Which of these are you Kayley?
@Pam Gari ‘Kayley’ is really Stephanie who is Prettywithinkinvites and was featured in the next entry here. She’s not only a reseller, she’s a copyright infringer as well.
Oh..Hey Stephi.
Still hacking up other people’s art and stealing it? Stay classy.
Stephanie Carpico of prettywithinkinvites.com and etsy is posting as kayley
Stephanie Carpico of prettywithinkinvites.com and etsy is selling cards using other people’s art but CLAIMING it is her own
Stephanie Carpico of prettywithinkinvites.com and etsy has a serious problem with ethics and copyright infringement and out-and-out stealing other people’s work and selling it as her own – see dozens of examples in her sold items on etsy
Stephanie Carpico of prettywithinkinvites.com and etsy has a serious lack of integrity as evidenced by her usage of other people’s art and photography, slapping it on a Vistaprint card and selling it as HER OWN WORK – AS HER OWN GRAPHIC DESIGN ORIGINALS
Stephanie Carpico of prettywithinkinvites.com and etsy … well, just pretty much has big problems.
Oh, “prettywithothersdesigns” tried to trick us?! For shame FOR SHAME Ms Carpico. I wonder if Vistaprints lawyers know about her ugly thieving practices ? Pathetic whinging crook that shits where she eats.
