• WEll, I knew the thread would be locked, and I knew we we get the same formula response, so I question was answered. Not the one I really wished I could hear-- like a response to the OP-- but the one that infered that Etsy doesn't intend to work on its Mission Statement.
• oops. http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5754152&page=20
• WildMagic
• It got locked? I didn't see...
• 9:08am (August 11, 2008) Morgan
• Yep. I worked until about 5 Am, overslept, and just looked. I didn't check to see when it was locked, but it was locked for calling out. Admittedly, that was being done. Now off to check on those illegitimate shops. Hoping they are gone but not expecting it.
• 9:11am (August 11, 2008) louisefelice
• hey morgan...your thread prompted me to start this....
• nothing will be locked here...like my gran may said if you cant stand the heat,...
• i am also thinking of starting a list of the illegitimate shops...
• 9:25am (August 11, 2008) Morgan
• I can be pretty ballsy when I am angry-- I started a new thread asking for help finding 2008 Olympic coin collections.

• 9:28am (August 11, 2008) louisefelice

• I keep hitting return to make a new paragraph and it makes me start over. Here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_2&listing_id=14111761 and http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_6&listing_id=14109286
• louisefelice
• OMG.,,,,is this freaking e bay>>>???
• the listing also says welcome to my e bay store!
• and etsy allows this eh!!!
• 9:37am (August 11, 2008) Morgan
• The thread was locked. I understand, but calling these sellers "part of the Etsy community" makes me gag. Rules be damned: if Etsy won't follow its own rules, why should I? Rules mean squat if they are not enforced. RobWhite has to do his job-- I emailed him and told him as much-- but please. Take care of it or stop using phrases like "community" "members" and "rules".
• 9:39am (August 11, 2008) louisefelice
• hey morgan...etsy is a business...they take money and who cares about the legit ppl??? robwhite sends generic e mails as the others do,,,like anyone cares...as long as they get paid,.,,
• i find it rather ridiculous that etsy tries to say its for handmade then stuff posted like this
• Welcome to our eBay stores. we have collected many beautiful and valuable items,Wait for your purchase.Winner must confirm payment within 5 days, Bidding on eBay is a binding contract, All Non-Paying Bidders will be reported to eBay. Not honor a bid could lead to suspension from eBay.
• is allowed!
• WHAT A LOAD OF CROCK!

• By the way, I got a very nice, personal email back from RobWhite, not a form. But he did say that there has to be another, better way of getting my point across. I can't see one. I told him that he was eventually going to have to mute me, because until the issue is dealt with or the hypocracy stops, I figure it's worth a vacation.
• He actually was very nice-- but his job and a few others is to monitor the forums. They don't have the authority to do anything else. In fact, they would probably lose their jobs. As far as I can tell, they are the conscientious ones. The ones I'd like to hear from are the three on that flagging team. Are they overwhelmed? DO they prioritize? Is their job shit? but that info ain't coming.

• I found your site by serfing the etsy forums. I was intrigued when you said only 100% hand made only. I thought wow this will be good. Your first photos showed images of jewelry. These are "NOT" 100% hand made. These are photos of strung purchased beads and assembeled cheap trinkets. Will someone be honest. Why can't these people be honest. They don't make jewelry, just assemble jewelry. How can they expect etsy to do their job, when most jewelry sellers can't even face their own truth? Like get rid of the handmade imported real jewelry so they can sell their assembled mass produced findings as handmade.
