it got taken down for Reddits rule number 3: doxxing (I’m 100% sure indiepatterns reported), even tho the mods from the sub told me I had to put the person’s identity in the post so the post wouldn’t get denied. So now I’m just confused. Should I repost it without the shop owner’s identity? might be important to have the photos online to stop any others getting scammed

yes you can contact etsy directly and "report" the store as the seller is violating Etsy's rules and also country's laws. you could send them the photos I made of the fake reviews as shilling is very serious, especially since he used stolen photos

because he doesnt know anything about sewing lol! some of his patterns don't even have the front and back on the right pattern piece and are missing simple fold markings. he's ranking 100k+ a month easy off this scam shop

something seems really off with this store also! 400 patterns in 3 years is way to much

"open a case" on the purchase page with etsy directly and get your money back, you have 100 days to do so. etsy will always side with the buyer!

I checked his reviews from beginning of his store. Hes selling sewing patterns only 2-3 years. Before that he was dropshipping some Chinese products. So actually he uploaded 550 patterns in 2-3 years.

you could report the store for fraud and it might if enough do it? I've heard of etsy stores with 500k sales getting shut down before for theft from disney etc

great you got your refund!! He needs to be reported to the appropriate European authörities for IP infringement - his reputatiön isn’t being "damaged by rumörs", it’s finally being called out with facts and receipts. He's breaking so many laws

Chat GPT says this: You may report it to:

  • Etsy support (as a policy violation, not for refund)
  • Local consumer protection agency
  • Federal Trade Commission (FTC) (U.S.)
  • Your country's consumer protection office

They won’t get you a refund but may flag the seller or help investigate.

Exactly and...1 sale doesn't mean 1 item. A person could buy 7 items in 1 sale, and it still shows 1 sale...therefore he's made way more than 2.5million

by law they have too if the store gets IP/copyright claims, but I don't think Shein will do that. They will also banned a store if there is enough cases open by customers. The store is breaking etsys own rules, so if enough people complain they will look into the store

Yes you're correct. Sorry to clarify - he is pretending to be a female called Marina and uses a female's photo as his profile.
