Hi
I saw some things on etsy that are definitely mass 'handmade' produced in China (I have seen them at dog shows many times).
Are they allowed here?

Just wondering!

It's not a supply. It's a ceramic item.
I did flag it. Just wondered what you all thought.

I know what you mean Popogirl.
I was searching drawings just now and saw what are obviously mass produced paintings, I stopped searching after the first 4 pages as that was all there was!

I have personal experience of this from ebay, this all but killed original art selling on ebay.
I hope etsy dont allow it here.
