Copycat

I haven't been a part of Etsy for a long time but, I have recently become aware that there is some copycatting going on. I know that Etsy frowns upon this and I was seeing if anybody else had some feedback on this topic. Now, I am aware that most people get great ideas to do something by seeing someone else doing something, or making something etc, etc, but having the SAME pattern or recipe is obviously stealing. The person that got stolen from is bummed to say the least and Etsy has gone after them time and time again, but they continue. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Etsy


This is my first post I am doing about Etsy and the people of Etsy. If you haven't been on there you really should check it out. Even if you don't have stuff to sell, you can create a profile as a buyer. Just because you are starting as a buyer does not mean you HAVE to buy something, but these are hard times folks and you really should support your local sellers or just people that create their own homemade items. I, personally, am really tired of seeing the same old stuff from Walmart. Yes, walmart is inexpensive, but it is also the least original place you could possibly shop. Stop being a sheep and support your local Etsian. Once you have created a profile on Etsy you can shop according to your area.

I have bought from Etsy and I love everything I have gotten. The best thing about that is I know it is one of a kind and special. So, get yourselves a profile if you don't already have one and support this awesome site!

New Soap

I just finished making my Black Coconut Liquid Soap. I love it! Please check it out. It really does smell good and it is infused with oatmeal to soften even the dryest skin. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see pics from my shop. Thanks!
