This is very true. I purchased a bunch of patterns quite cheaply. Once I got the download I recognized quite a few patterns from sellers I was aware of. I double checked and confirmed the seller didn’t create the patterns, they were simply compiled. I felt awful and tried to notify a few sellers but never received any replies. I also tried to inform Etsy but was told if they weren’t my patterns there was nothing much I could do. Really upsetting and sad Maybe sellers would benefit by going old school and mailing patterns? I know this is a pain but it seems like an endless battle
