Over the last few months, I've discovered a few sellers on etsy who have almost identically copied my designs. But what can I do, right? I just let it go.
Tonight, I found a seller who hasn't copied my designs, but uses the same wording (almost word for word) for her item descriptions. And she charges $1 less than everyone else out there. It's so frustrating to me. What do I do? Call her out on it? Where would that get me? I know I need to just let it go.
She's got great stuff and seems to be very talented. I don't know if she's just lazy and couldn't write her own descriptions, or what. She also doesn't need to charge $1 less. She's cheating herself out of profit there.
Ugh. It's so frustrating.
Thanks for listening.

Ooooh, that IS frustrating! I've had my own frustrating time lately with the Taggies patent...their lawyers made Etsy remove my tag blankies from my store. grrrr.... I also get annoyed at people charging next to nothing for items. I feel that I have really reasonable prices. I don't understand how some people make any money after the etsy & paypal fee. oh well....i guess I just vented too on your comment. sorry. :)
That's got to be VERY frustrating.
I would suggest contacting her and discussing; a.) she's cheating herself out of $1 ea. b.) ask her if she's got any interest in your help for the verbiage.
I am sorry! We absolutely love the announcement you did for us. I have been sure to pass your name along to anyone I know looking for announcements.
