Whoa Heads Up! Mattel crashing down on entrepeneurs.

Posted by Sandi M in Chicagoland on 7/12/2024, 2:29 pm

TODAY My mailbox was full of friends/artists/Etsy/resellers this morning which have had items removed or their entire site shut down for Mattel copyright infringements. Apparently this is snowballing and covering a lot of different types of sites/individuals. The Etsy forums are filled with people with cut items, of course if you have lost your account you can't complain there.

Even as far as using a Mattel doll to demonstrate another item they are selling or even a Mattel item. Is their goal to shut down everything...anyone heard straight from Mattel on this. I just changed all my wording on my Etsy listings, but crap the dolls are there as are the accessories.

Since we are members only site here----are we protected???? here...Big Barbie is WATCHING YOU!
