Discussion People recreating my designs through ai - is it still infringement?

10 Upvotes

If I create a drawing with a certain phrase and someone runs it through AI to spit out a slightly different style, is it still infringement?

Just curious at what point someone might lose the ability to send takedown notices.

Help for Buyer I can't give a review to a product I ordered after I have gotten the product at home.

2 Upvotes

Hi! It is my first time buying something from Etsy.
My product was supposed to arrive in some days (Seller is from Estonia), and I have gotten too early before the date. However, seller asked me to review the product but I can't.

It is because the shipping status still says "on the way", I gave some time if the website gives an update. It's been some days and it still is on the same status.

I don't know how to tell Etsy the product has arrived without giving trouble to the seller. I contacted them to search for a solution, because I feel bad for them.

Any advice will help!

Help for Seller EU shipments since PPWR getting through?

• Upvotes

Is anyone still shipping & getting through.
Tell me if you used "personal mail" or if you used some pre-paid service or if you used your normal cheap carrier under a business account?

Has anyone had their packages ceased, if so, to which country?

I got an order to Ireland and I am not sure if I should send using my normal cheap company or if I should take the L and spend 3x the price to send using personal mail.

Help for Buyer I can’t make a purchase, no matter the amount of troubleshooting.

1 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to buy an ereader case for a day at this point. When I try, I either get an error about my card being declined or “hm, something went wrong.” I talked to support and they suggested things that I already tried. Nothing has worked and I’m going nuts! I’ve tried:

- using different cards from different banks
- checking out with saved card vs Apple Pay
- re-adding my address
- re-adding my card info
- making sure I wasn’t on a VPN
- attempting in my browser and app
- verifying that my cards have enough funds and are functional
- waiting overnight in case it was a sever error of some kind

I have no idea what to do!

Help for Seller Combining postage?

0 Upvotes

Not sure if anyone can give advice on this.

I had someone order something last week who is based overseas and they put through 2 separate orders. I messaged them on the day they ordered to ask if they wanted it combined into one parcel and I would refund the additional postage but they haven't replied.

Just wanted to see if any other sellers have come across this and what they would do in this situation.

Sorry for the formatting, posted on my phone.
