The person who is selling stolen items there always has excellent seller ratings, too! Buyer Beware is the best policy, isn't it? Thanks for all you do to help keep sellers there legit, Joey!The Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226040212425559526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686273156594002956.post-49716447924784804032015-08-12T11:37:01.381-04:002015-08-12T11:37:01.381-04:00I'd like to add that even if the canvas and st...I'd like to add that even if the canvas and stitch guide are listed together that doesn't mean that the guide is the original. I would question if the threads are also a part of the sale - it they aren't that would be a HUGE red flag to me. Who in the world has just the canvas and guide (okay, me. I do)? <br /><br />Also, some people make up elaborate stories about destashing their own or their "aunt's" (fill in anything here) stash. Uh...okay...maybe but probably not. Another red flag. And look at the rest of the listings. If history shows they didn't sell the first time and then the description changes for the next posting, then I see another red flag.<br /><br />Thanks, Jane, for writing about this. And for highlighting Ruth's blog and Cindy's dogged determination to protect her own intellectual property and the rights of Melissa Shirley.

I tell my clients that I will not sell copies and have destroyed any that have been sent for sale. I think most of the sellers are honest, but a few bad apples spoil a lot for honest people!NCPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05815138815552708153noreply@blogger.com
