If you feel so strongly about it why hide your name? This is Sari's blog she has the right to voice her feeling and opinions. They are just that. You might as well argue with a wall than attempt to argue with someone about how they feel.

Clearly you have no concept of a craftsperson's work. And all of the God Bless America crap you keep spouting? Well, you are simply epitomizing an aspect of the culture that much of the rest of the world abhors. Bravo.<br /><br />Other Etsy sellers have run into problems with their photos being used on websites. As those photos are copyrighted to the originator at the moment of creation, they have the legal right to demand the person to immediately cease and desist. <br /><br />The fact that you are using the fact that he made a profit as an argument for it being morally right says more about you than it does about Sari. <br /><br />~ DeniseDenise and Melinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003191558855947724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681135427080232921.post-28971275885399418832012-04-20T13:48:45.384-04:002012-04-20T13:48:45.384-04:00I don't care if you disagree with me.

It is one thing to go buy a product, bring it home and then resell it as the actual owner. <br /><br />It is another to not contact a vendor, list said vendor's item with their pictures that you do not have permission to use, sell said item at a mark up and then make said vendor drop ship it for you.<br /><br />He doesn't take credit for the items but he certainly doesn't give credit to the artists either. Not holding stock and not having a relationship with the vendor you're buying for can also screw over a customer if something becomes out of stock or discontinued.<br /><br />I work for a company that holds stock and that drops ships as well. However, we drop ship with the vendors permission and knowledge. We credit said vendors. <br /><br />What this eBay seller did might not be illegal but it is a shady business practice.Shannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681135427080232921.post-87937336248534461342012-04-20T10:23:06.257-04:002012-04-20T10:23:06.257-04:00Be careful with your blog post though.

I think he could say it's harassment and defamation of his name and business. He took down the pictures gave you your items for free to make up for it in good faith but after the fact you have posted your blog saying bad things about him. I don't think what he did was illegal I think you may be upset that he is getting more money for your product than you were getting. I'm sure it's frustrating but such is life.

I've bought random things from people selling them on eBay. Sometimes for myself, sometimes to re-sell. I've taken delivery of, inspected, stored, sometimes used, then shipped these items to my customers personally. What THIS guy is doing is marking up goods he doesn't even OWN, then buying the item from the vendor when an eBay customer places an order with him and having it shipped from the vendor to his customer, and he just pockets the difference. Not only do these vendors have no idea they're being used as his personal wholesalers, but in the case of art or jewelry, he's giving no credit to the original artist. He also steals photographs from the vendors' websites. <br /><br />So yes, I sometimes buy and sell Coach bags. But I tell my buyers where they came from, and I take my OWN goddamn photos.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660055270708614052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681135427080232921.post-23175730945873513202012-04-20T00:30:01.839-04:002012-04-20T00:30:01.839-04:00How is what he is doing different from you selling...How is what he is doing different from you selling brand new Coach bags on Ebay though?

You saw it because I commented on it. My friend is someone that I have been in contact with for quite a while through SparkPeople. Take the one picture in context with what she has been posting on her page, she is talking about herself. She is commenting on eating healthy to get in shape. She is not a thin person poking fun at people who are not. Jessica is someone who has struggled with eating, weight and health problems. No one agreed with you on her page, because we know where she is coming from and what she is saying. <br />Yes, if you take that one picture, one comment out of context, you could see it the way you did. I can assure you that was not her purpose or her intent. <br />Be well,<br />Gretchen YoderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681135427080232921.post-72358648916173479702012-03-21T15:42:06.017-04:002012-03-21T15:42:06.017-04:00Nice pic.
