What a freak - why would she start that again? Attention whore?

OMFG!

Etsy, shut down her shop! She violates your TOU. She's been legitimately flagged numerous times. WHY are you allowing this? Unfuckingbelievable.

Love Rob's closing statement and OP: what a dipshit.

Yes, Stella, laugh all the way to the bank with your 10 Etsy sales. And quit whining about being flagged ... if you would stay out of the forums by drawing attention to yourself, you wouldn't get as noticed and probably wouldn't get as many flags. And I haven't seen any recent sales for you recently, so if you think you will get sales just from your whiny threads, you are probably wrong.

We have only Etsy to blame for allowing you to get away with listing shit, though.

Good show of intelligence in your blog, Stella:

"I have a wonderful selection of flea market shit. Most of my crap is made in China. You will be delighted to know that NONE of it is handmade by me. I spend most of my time shit stirring in the etsy forums:

etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6310083
etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6292751

When I don't stir the shit, I bitch and moan about lack of views:

etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6226217&page=10

When I do get views I start a thread to bitch about that.

I admit to all of etsy that I do not make my shit, I purchase wholesale from my 'friends' (I always almost forget to add the lie that I make stuff too-so funny):

etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6291727&page=2

I'm blogged about here:

etsycallout.wordpress.com/2009/10/06/kreationsbyjudy-mytrueloveboutique/

And the comment posters on etsycallout have actually found the sites where I get wholesale:

shop.gracious-living.com/product.sc?productId=42&categoryId=3
cgi.ebay.com/10pcs-New-girl-cute-Hello-Kitty-necklace-watch

If I am doing something wrong with Hello-Kitty copyright why don't you just email INTPROPERTY@sanrio.com or dmca@sanrio.com. Sanrio always sends this message:

Thank you for contacting Sanrio, Inc. We value the opinions of our consumers and take them very seriously. The information you submitted will be forwarded to the appropriate department for review.
In the meantime, we wanted to express our appreciation for bringing your concern to our attention.
Cordially,"

honestly, does etsy really have any "research" to do? she called herself out in how many threads, and you can tell by all the links posted by other people that she doesnt make her crap, AND how many people have flagged her?
no wonder people think etsy is a giant clusterfuck of a joke

I have a hard time believing Rob when he says that etsy will remove items based on the DMCA - they haven't yet.

As for the OP, I've also sent a message to Sanrio.

Stella your items don't belong on etsy and you have no right to be such a douche about it.

My favorite people are the clueless etsians who replied to mytrueloveboutique's thread and took her side without having the slightest idea of what's going on.

I guess anyone who is unrepentently clueless about the TOU cannot be bothered to notice the "REPORT THIS ITEM TO ETSY" button on each listing....OP, that's what it's there for, so we can all do our job.

(But "Stella"'s a fake, peeps.)

"Stella's a fake, peeps"

Yeah. Too bad I made an ass of myself before I figured that out.

Well, it appears she deleted her etsy account, or got deleted.

mytreuloveboutique is no longer an active account on etsy. I just got the error message when I went to check.

Going, going... and she's gone.

October 8, 2009 at 1:03:00 PM EDT
Marie-Élaine said...

Well now her shop is gone! :)

I'm having trouble logging into my etsy account right now...

Woohoo - the Uh-Oh page comes up when I click on her shop.

So did etsy find some integrity or did she get fed up with the haters and pull her shop?

Glad that bit of reselling junk is gone... 5000 more to go.

October 8, 2009 at 1:24:00 PM EDT

She is GONE!!!

I hope I didn't get muted for the last couple callouts of her store though, not sure it was worth it.

foolmoon said...

Oh, her account has been de-activated...better late than never!

October 8, 2009 at 3:23:00 PM EDT

At this point, etsy just needs to take the whole shop down.

October 8, 2009 at 4:00:00 PM EDT

And they did!

I just clicked on the OP's shop and it's gone!

Guess that final thread was the last straw...

Whoever made that fake account Stella and blog, I am laughing my ass off! Kudos to you.
Extra bonus points for each person who believes it and gets super angry about it and quotes it thinking it's real.
I almost hate to point out it's fake, because it's more fun watching people get riled up.

fake stella wins.

Guess I get the extra point!

took me a second!

Hopefully that doesnt send her over the edge and she goes all "texas" on Etsy!

YIKES!
