This is actually probably a result of Etsy's last round of bad PR, where one of the sellers they were promoting (Ecologica Malibu) was actually a reseller. Etsy has rampant problems with resellers.
- city41 13y agoI don't see how they would not, or how they'd adequately deal with resellers. It'd be like github trying to ensure all people pushing code up to github have the proper rights to that code.
- itsybitsycoder 13y agoNevertheless, they have to try to deal with it. Their brand is homemade and vintage. That's why people come to Etsy instead of eBay or Amazon. If their users feel like they have to slog through mass-produced stuff to get to what they want, or worse, if they feel like they are being scammed into buying fake homemade items, they will stop using Etsy.
