Temu 上的商家盗用了我在 Etsy 上的店铺，我现在该怎么办？

I personally just cancel all orders from Chinese addresses or forwarding services, and people with obviously fake names and fake addresses, and I turn off instant download for best selling digital items. Not a silver bullet by any means but so far so good (knock on wood). I know it's only a matter of time though. Also, I watermark everything (I know, I know, a lot of people on this sub think watermarks are nothing, but it is absolutely possible to make watermarks that are truly unremovable if you know what you're doing, and mine are 100% NOT removable). If you're going to steal my shit, you're at least going to have to be inconvenienced by making your own mockups for everything.

Was it digital downloads?

This really really sucks. I'm not sure how much you can do that actually works. Have you tried asking in r/legaladvice? Maybe at least someone there has an idea. And if they tell you that you're sool I would still keep researching.

Could you go after Temu directly for enabling this? I wouldn't rely on just reddit advice when it comes to this volume, at least perhaps also get some paid internet lawyer advice (there's platforms for this and it can be pretty affordable).

Maybe you could also pool together with other people who had their designs stolen and they show up on Temu.

Have you looked at Temu TOS what they say about selling stolen artwork? If it's forbidden in their TOS you might at least have a starting point.

My art is always popping up on temu too, it’s really infuriating. It’s so random, but my sister is a small YouTuber (like very small, subscribers in the 200 range), and she made a video one day pointing out all of the counterfeit stuff on temu and highlighted the fake Nintendo and Lego products and then went into the art theft and talked about my work. And it somehow shamed temu into removing all of my art and they emailed her and apologized, it was so bizarre.

Does it still pop up? Yes. I’m still fighting it. But I think at this point all we can do is try to shift public perception and awareness. I’m tired of the clickbait temu hauls, claiming it’s just like Amazon, etc….amazon is evil too but temu really is on a different level and if you research a bit you’ll read that they’re pressuring the factories to sell products so low that money is lost on each sale.

Temu has the same sellers as Alibaba and Aliexpress. I found the same sellers which are also manufactures that stole my photos and designs selling on Temu, Shein, Walmart, Amazon, DHGate and basically any site they could sell on. I stopped selling to Asia on Etsy and turned off all ads at night during business hours over there. I even asked Etsy if there was any way to block those countries from viewing my shop and they ignored my question. I would see them basically favorite hundreds of my items non stop, then go on to favorite thousands of items of other Etsy sellers in one evening. Next thing you know my photos and designs are being sold all over Etsy by other sellers buying their cheap knock offs from them.

I have found that going to online review sites and posting about the theft helps a little bit. I know for sure Temu watches the reviews and so does Shein and they will take down photos but will leave up the designs. They definitely need more pressure put on them. I'm getting so sick of it and feel like I work for free for them. I was wondering how they seem to always find the best sellers and I'm guessing Erank is probably one of the sites they creep on.

So. I'm sorry. My work has been stolen by Chinese and other shops (including several in the West).

That said, it was kind of an error to not trust your original instinct that it was a fishy order. They will only stop selling now when it stops making them profit. They will use scripts to make new websites and shops. Theft is their whole business model--and they've gotten good at it. Using your time to wack a mole their listings will waste your time and not achieve your goal of stopping them, unfortunately.

Your only option that leaves you in the end in a better position, really, is to make new items/products and accept that those 3 years worth of products will be undermined from a sales point of view. I know that's rough to hear, and may be depressing (def, talk to a counselor btw, this is definitely traumatic).

On a semi-positive note: your products being stolen is a mark that you're making quality stuff. This has happened for centuries to quality inventors and designers ♥️... And don't think of it as 3 years wasted, think of all the better designs you'll create now with all that practice! The Beatles became legends because of all the practice and trial by fire.

Oh, and also, if possible: add watermarks/witnessmarks to the photos and even into the files. Though, even that won't stop a thief who's dedicated. Fortunately, I suppose, as you up the difficulty to steal your future products, you'll make it less likely to reoccur and hopefully the IP playing field will improve over time.
