meanii86 is not shy about her store being ALL Hello Kitty but every listing is still being put in the handmade sections.

PINKSTARswimwear was recently on the front page.
If you check out her shop it's a drastic difference between "professional" and crap low grade digital and to top it off, it looks like she doesn't know how to rotate her pictures.

This listing is only for a Medium. As someone commented- if you made them, all sizes would be available.

<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6175653">Hellobianca6</a> is back open with a few less items yet her shop announcement stays the same.
This chick isn't even making anything:

She's just importing *copyrighted* images into a computer program, to make cross stitch patterns. (Including images made by other etsy artists & Disney) Then has the nerve to put a link to her myfreecopyright page

The last chick that had her hand "slapped" by Etsy, has http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28200055
this listing. She states she's not knitter! WTF? How hard is it..handmade or vintage.
EtsyCallOut September 15, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Yeah, that's ridiculous. Those sequins are obviously crocheted/knitted in. So if she doesn't know how to crochet or knit, how did she make it?
I reported it. Hopefully Etsy will ban her since she broke the rules again.
And I highly doubt this Hello Kitty necklace is vintage:

Also, this Cinnamoroll wallet from Hellobianca6 is NOT vintage. She states it was made in the 90's, but according to Wikipedia this character wasn't born until 2002.
"Cinnamoroll
Cinnamoroll, born on March 6, 2002 on a cloud far up in the sky, is a white puppy with long ears that enable him to fly, blue eyes, and a plump and curly tail that resembles a cinnamon roll[3]. He starred in his own anime movie which was released in Winter 2007."

Which makes this wallet 6 years old at most.
EtsyCallOut September 15, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Or 7 years... what year is it again? lol
Either way, NOT vintage.
EtsyCallOut September 15, 2009 at 1:47 PM
This cat ear hat can't possibly be made by HelloBianca6 either since she states:
"please pardon my ignorance at the knitting and crochet description....i'm not a knitter or a crocheter, and sadly not good at spotting the difference; both are a fancy skill I just can't seem to get the hang of. ;)"

Have a look at this Indian store. I'm not sure she makes her own jewelry, this is what her shop policies say:
"Everything that I sell is lovingly handmade in India by local artisans."

hellobianca is empty with a 'poor me' announcement.
I just don't understand the mentality of "no one likes me, I was just trying to make a few bucks, poor me, no love". Somehow, the rules don't apply to them and that makes everyone a bad guy.
There are a thousand other places to sell your yard sale shit.
EtsyCallOut September 15, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Yeah, no kidding. This is so pathetic:
"Too many passive aggressive waaah waaahs on here. Closing up shop. Lost my job, trying to stay afloat and not lose my car and pay for upcoming wedding. Thanks a bunch to those who came and shopped and didnt care. So, go play the crafty police someplace else, thank you. I was just trying to stay afloat."
GO TO EBAY!!! ETSY IS FOR HANDMADE THINGS!!! IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!!

Well, you have to be pretty thick, if you can't learn crochet or knitting... or even tell them apart.
EtsyCallOut September 15, 2009 at 1:47 PM
So making sure people follow the rules is 'passive aggressive' now? Bet this chick's a hoot when she gets pulled over for speeding or similar.
EtsyCallOut September 15, 2009 at 1:47 PM
lol.. kirsi... omg that freakin made me laugh!
EtsyCallOut September 15, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Her "closing statement". OMG, LOLOLOL
EtsyCallOut September 15, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Aw guys, she was just trying to stay afloat! It's ok to ignore the TOS and just do what you want when you're getting married and have car payments to make.
