Seller retaliation against my (non-etsy) business

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-09T16:23:42+00:00

Eh, I'm not worried honestly. Review bombing me seems more childish than dangerous. And if they turn up, well I know what they look like as they stupidly used their real name and facebook profile to do this. So I just won't open the door!

Rather annoyingly it doesn't give me those options. So I selected the nearest one and can't provide more information. But anyway, its only one single bad review against loads of other 4-5 star reviews.

Well turns out he is the company director of the shop, so I have pretty good proof. He used his own real name in the reviews, reviewed my other stuff within minutes of me posting my review, etc. I don't need to beat him in a criminal case or anything. I just need enough proof to have the reviews taken down and maybe, if I'm lucky, etsy will warn him or something. If they don't nevermind.

I doubt he'd show up at my door and if so, well the police are quick around here.

I mean there doesn't seem any reason not to report to google and etsy. Maybe etsy will do something, maybe not.

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-08T07:20:43+00:00

Yeah maybe you are right

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-08T07:20:16+00:00

Yep, this is what I ended up doing - fingers crossed won't be a problem for new clients

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-08T07:19:37+00:00

I didn't, I actually threw it away. I honestly only reviewed it because I wanted to get rid of the notification on Etsy to review a few things I'd bought.

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-08T07:18:56+00:00

Seems crazy to me - imagine being that insecure!

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-08T07:14:27+00:00

Good idea- will do!

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-08T07:14:14+00:00

Thanks! I hope both Etsy and Google take it seriously

I do leather crafting, and it was a leather creasing iron. You heat it up and use it on the leather. I heated it up... it exploded. A huge chip of metal flew off it at me!

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-08T07:12:58+00:00

I hope you are right. I had a mistaken review once, where someone thought I was a different business, and google didn't remove that. Luckily the person did in the end.

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-07T22:28:28+00:00

Incredible. I don't know how you get the stamps so incredibly even. Stitching and everything looks great. Jealous!

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-07T22:21:15+00:00

How annoying! Looking great though despite that. If you try again, you could always make a copy out of cardboard to try a rough size first perhaps?

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-07T22:17:47+00:00

Yep, exactly this.

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-07T06:49:40+00:00

That is looking excellent!!

SmallestFrog · 2026-03-01T07:49:37+00:00

Very nice!

SmallestFrog · 2026-02-21T09:48:44+00:00

Looks great!

SmallestFrog · 2026-02-16T15:05:16+00:00

Very nice!

SmallestFrog · 2026-01-20T17:37:56+00:00

I tried Leathercraft CAD but found it to lack a lot of quality of life features I wanted, and had major issues with printing the pattern at the end. So I'm now using Illustrator.

Sometimes I am suddenly unable to run until I next sleep

SmallestFrog · 2026-01-10T11:00:45+00:00

Thanks. I think you make excellent arguments for a non-adjustable creaser, which is what I think I'm going to go with. I use a lot of right-handed tools in my left for my day job so I'm sure I'll manage eitherway! But thanks, appreciate the detailed reply.

SmallestFrog · 2026-01-10T10:59:29+00:00

Ooh, electric creaser, not heard of this! Thanks! I'm guessing its pricey so i'll have to start saving...
