$10,500 assuming a bottle of wine costs $14

I’ve done the math (for us metrically challenged yankees) and a 5liter (litre? ) box of Franzia comes out to
6.66 bottles of wine...
I swear some of those cheaper ones have Scotch-Guard in them. Don’t drink anymore but used to sneak bag-wine into clubs occasionally with some crazy lady friends of mine. They’d usually put it in a purse (only half-full!) but one time I had it in a backpack (not sure why they let me in with a backpack-that’s prob why everyone kept asking me for drugs... -Tube, Portland, OR, hahaha).
Anyhoo, the bag sprung a leak so I just sat there with a table over my lap until it dried a bit. A nice server saw something spilled and brouht over a towel! No one but us knew, and when I finally got up, there was absolutely no stain on my blue jeans. Red wine, too. Very strange.

I was just looking on there, never have before. I was wondering why you would have put your stuff on there. Looks like a bunch of "As seen on tv" crap.
i didnt they stole my work and put it on there for sale.
Its alot of what they do is steal small business art found on IG, facebook etc take the photos regardless of watermark and sell them.

Yeah I hear you on that.

I know people have done that to some of the products I've worked on. But I don't know what the solution is.....that's not a hat I wear.

Here’s the takedown process. If you don’t have copyright, trademark or patent it doesn’t look like they will be much help. >:(

This is a classic. Reggie is truly a renaissance man - beatboxer, amazing vocalist, speaker and singer, musician, looping tech pioneer, philosopher, poet, and comic. I've seen a few of his sets live, and got to hang with him a couple times and smoke up. He's also fluent several languages, including French, Italian and German. I've heard him referred to as the love child of Neil Degrasse Tyson and Jack Black, which is pretty accurate. Dude is on a different level, and can just blow your mind. Enjoy.

They are the Ebay of the East. It is really the Wild West over there, you can buy all sorts of stuff that isn't legal here, but they still ship it. That's where I bought my scooters. You can find really great bargains, or just get ripped off. Kinda a roll of the dice if you don't know what you're doing. If you think American customer service is bad, you should try China's.

Yes I looked into it a lot last night , they require you to create an account on their "intellectual property protection" forum, which says alot right there
but they want you to upload a bunch of your business information thats illegal to ask for in the USA/ Canada, and why would anyone give that info to a company who stole your photos to replicate your product is beyond me.

I know theres really nothing I cando as such a small business , best I can do is consider it flattery that someone wanted to replicate my work.

So Aliexpress is owned partnered with Alibaba (which is the electronic version) of it. Which is actuallywell talked about here from the LED section.
they also have some purchase in Etsy as well, and other american companies. than they likely get put on amazon which is easier to remove

From what iunderstand china has laws stating in laymans terms basically if they make it in chinafirst by chinese law they own that design... i think New balance lost a case under that similar situation

Basically they are similar to wish, and thats why all the product photos of creative jewelry etc, is all different photography because they will rip your photos from say your Instagram from your business than they will put them on their for sale, but than also they will put all your shit on pinterest etc, and so youre photos become super populated and popular but they dont link to the correct place (obvi stolen)

than you will see people who buy these items leave reviews, of these copied items, its lame, obviously anyone who buys "my" work off aliexpress is not my target market, someone who pays 6.99 for a $100 piece of work is not my target audience so
it is what it is.
its just lame.

could you add something to your website that names and shames counterfeiters? Give them a sob story that buying fake jewelry from these other platforms hurts artists and creators.
