How the FUCK does she get away with it, /biz/?
I recently bought some cheap bracelets off of Alibaba in hopes to start reselling them. I'm on Shopify but I want to expand to Etsy and pimp my products out with Etsy Ads (I've heard people get a very high ROI doing this). Trying to do things the legit way, I haven't set up an Etsy shop yet because I've looked into it and Etsy has a very strong vetting process for the legitimacy of your products being personally handmade by yourself. Once someone reports your shop for being cheap imported Chinese crap, they will ban and suspend your shop until you send them detailed pictures of your manufacturing process.
I was browsing Etsy just now and came across this bracelet store knowing full well the products were from Alibaba because I've bought from a Supplier who carries them.
She uses the exact same stock photos for her product images and everything.
How the fuck does she get away with it, /biz/? She even faked the entire manufacturing process (I scrolled down to the section about her business where she showcases pictures of her "process").
So, should I say fuck it and open up my own Etsy shop of cheap imported bracelets then? How can I fake my manufacturing process like this old bitch? Anyone have experience selling imported crap on Etsy and passing it off as handmade (by you)?

I just want to be able to get away with selling cheap Chinese shit like this old bitch is.
Has anyone else here on /biz/ tried this shit on Etsy?

You only have to make one that looks like the Chinese one in case etsy tries to vett you then resume reselling import garbage at high markup.
Can't hurt to report people though maybe she won't respond and then one less competitor. What's your store name so I can report you later

That's really smart.. wouldn't surprise me if it's not even her. Just some NEET that took a picture of his aunt and makes bank sitting on his butt all day
Don't be jealous senpai. Find your own niche and do the same

I was thinking the same thing. It's some NEET from 4chan importing Alibaba crap that stole some old lady's picture and got their grandma to be a hand model for them for the manufacturing photos
No one wants to report a cute little old lady and her bracelet business on Etsy
