Just to clarify a bit more - I’m more upset about the images that were stolen. I remember how long it took to make those pictures look amazing and it’s unfortunate they are using them to sell my product. They also aren’t changing the design or offering faster shipping or better prices than my company which isn’t good for customers :( if you’re interested in my tunnel check them out on Wildpetsupply.com where they are almost half the price from Temu!
Yooo bro. Not sure if you remember me but I was your first Patreon sub back in the day (I think?). Sorry to hear about Temu stealing your products man, but it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come! 😊
Honestly my hands are probably tied. I reported the listing to Temu which should hopefully remove them. I can’t afford to pay for a copyright attorney since it’s only one product and it appears like they’ve only sold 2 of the hides so far.
It totally does but I never have issues with small businesses using my designs for inspiration it’s just the photos and exact clone that I have an issue with - thanks for the comment ❤
if they were smarter they would make there own images to make it look more original. but I feel bad for you, if that happened to me I would cry and start emailing the compony like crazy
Unfortunately, this is one of the risks, even when you don't sell. Have a nice drawing you made that gets a few hundred views? Yep, someone will sell it. I have seen so many things on there, and elsewhere, that should not be but there is no real way to stop it all. In one case a 3D print from 7 years ago, a dice tower which I know the creator does not allow commercial, was offered by 14 different stores on there and even countless more on Etsy (No, they didn't license the model). Heck, even a "small business" YTer I used to watch has said to do this because of "less chance being caught by small businesses." Talk about disheartening. I would advise you to just keep doing you, and put your focus where it is needed most, because these little mosquitos never seem to go away.

I remember OMG! Thanks so much for the support! Missing you lots
@@ChallengetheWild just went way back and watched your vid from after I subbed haha. I remember the chats we had on Insta too 😆
This is so disappointing. I wonder how they know it’s a good seller? They must be tracking all of the products on etsy
I guess they can see which items get the most orders and decide to copy them
Bro Can you pls get a pet Crayfish. And show us how you make the tank. Also I miss your vids
Goes around comes around
I saw your comment on BC products and had to see if you had the full story. Probably gonna make a video covering this
So what do you do in this situation

And yes alot of ppl have sent stuff to China and they have riped them off
Keeping it in the states for now 🇺🇸❤️
How very dare they.
That is so crappy. It happens quite a bit I bet though. Tsk tsk.

Yeah it was kinda crazy to see my own images on a site I've never used lol

This is despicable!!!!!!
I think your design might actually work great in my desert beetle tank
