To all those who sell

This isnt a question, but beware of selling items online with notable characters I.E. Hello Kitty. I have recently had a problem with a copy right infringement on my hello kitty backpack which I made, although It doesnt look like Hello Kitty at all. So if you are selling your things online, dont call it by the characters actual name, dont want you to have to go through the same things I am at this time.

I was very surprised to have my item unlisted due to this because if you look at my bag I made, it doesnt resemble the actual Hello Kitty character that much and the only thing that connects it to Hello Kitty is the name, so if the person who lodged the complaint gets back to me about the name change I will let everyone know the outcome of this fiasco

Hmm, I wonder how this happens. To report copyright infringement on Etsy you have to send a written letter and provide proof that you're the copyright/trademark owner. So I don't see how anyone besides Sanrio and the owner of Domo (whoever that is) could report items unless Etsy now lets people "tattle" on members or Etsy themselves check for copyright infringement.

I tried to sell a domo cuff on Etsy, and apparently someone reported me. I got a message saying I can't sell domo products, yet if you search domo you get tons of results. I ended up having to just rename it. tongue

I've heard that Sanrio is strict about that kind of thing but I'd never heard of them removing anything from Etsy until now. They must have done a mass reporting :/ but yeah, like you said, the trick is to name it white kitty or something instead.
