alibaba steals pictures from etsy and uses them as their own - this is happening again and again.
ReplyDeletewhat came first> who knows?
I've just reported Etsy shop EVIA to whomever "handles" these things there. This seller is passing off items manufactured by Stuller Inc. as her own. Stuller is a nationwide fine jewelry supplier who offers finished and semi custom pieces. Here is an example:

Those photos above are NOT alike though ;)Some are even different colors.
ReplyDeleteBut I do agree, Alibaba does steal images..but if they're stealing images, the MUST have the goods to back up what they're advertising too!
