What It's About
Competition is fair, but not unfair competition.
Notes from Chris
Episode 2073
We had an episode recently with an Amazon seller who had a competitor posting lots of fake reviews. Today’s caller has been dealing with a similar problem: unfair Etsy sellers. When you sell on Etsy, everything you sell is supposed to be handmade. Shockingly, not everything is! Many sellers secretly (or not-so-secretly) mass manufacture their goods and even sell under multiple shops to evade detection. Therefore, our caller is wondering: what can be done?"I've been selling on Etsy, which describes itself as the world's handcrafted marketplace. But many of the sellers appear to be cheating. They're selling mass-manufactured products in large quantities. Some of them operate multiple storefronts that sell the same thing with slight variations, or sometimes no variations at all. If it's made in a factory in China, how can it be called vintage or handmade? Like I said, these sellers appear to be cheating, but they're good at SEO and seem to be crowding out honest sellers such as myself. Is there anything that can be done?
