Opening up Etsy shop in uk any advice experienced Etsy shop owners can give?

Hi.
You can not stop them, but you can fight back if your items are genuine. Just do your homework, do not infringe, and you'll be good.

Stay under the radar as much as possible until you earn etsys trust. Then they are more lenient and give some chances.

So basically sell your own products not copies of anyone else

The problem with Etsy is it has become Ebay Mk 2

You are absolutely correct in that selling your own products and not copies will put you ahead of the game

I currently run 2 Etsy accounts - neither sets the world alight but the listings are my designs, and I have no VERO issues.

TBH Etsy is just bull**** right now and all you can do is your best and hope it works - check out some of the FB Etsy groups and you will see some of the issues sellers are dealing with

Be thankful you are not in USA with their new $600 reporting limits
