Etsy Strike
i will say they are right about one thing, small sellers are getting totally run over by design theft and aliexpress resellers. as a buyer, its a huge pain to have to sift through pages of aliexpress merchandise to uncover interesting and original work. make a cool printed design on a game boy shell? quickly stolen, mass produced on aliexpress, then sold by all the boring resellers on etsy. 90% of rpg dice sellers are selling the exact same stuff they got from the exact same bulk deal.<p>one of the biggest problems for me is im never even sure if im buying the original design or a knockoff, which totally sucks.<p>idk if this is just affecting the retro games &#x2F; dice communities, or if others are also hit. ALSO you can kinda just sell semi-illegal &quot;grey&quot; goods on etsy? TONS of sellers just selling bootleg game boy games and rarely mentioning that in the product description.
