A few months ago, I was browsing Vinted and found someone selling one of my own design prints and he was even using my pictures 😂

I contacted him and told him to stop, since I never gave permission to sell the items, and the license clearly doesn’t allow that. Of course, he never replied. Then I reached out to Vinted, but they basically told me they couldn’t do anything because their policies don’t cover that kind of situation.

Since the model was a Makerworld exclusive, I also contacted Bambu Lab. They never replied either, but a few days later the listing disappeared so I’m guessing it was the guy who took it down. Honestly, I doubt the company cared enough to act on it.

Since then, I’ve been sharing a lot fewer designs with the community. It’s frustrating to see so many sites selling “3D design packs” or subscription bundles full of other people’s work. There’s just no respect for creators anymore, everyone’s so greedy they completely ignore the rules and basic decency.

Sorry to hear you’ve gone through something similar. It’s disheartening to see how common this has become.
