If a Etsy listing is using your product photo, the fastest route is Etsy's own reporting process. Here's exactly where to go and what to include.

Where to report

Etsy IP infringement report — Etsy accepts reports from rights owners through its online form. Paste the notice into the description field.

What to include

1. The exact URL of the infringing Etsy listing.
2. Your original work — the URL of your own listing and the date it was published.
3. Your original photo file, if the form allows attachments.
4. Your contact details.
5. A good-faith statement and an accuracy statement under penalty of perjury (see the DMCA notice guide).

You can generate a ready-to-paste notice with our free takedown notice generator.

Etsy-specific tips

• Report each infringing listing separately and include your own listing URL as the original work.
• If the copying shop also copied your listing text or shop branding, mention it, but lead with the photo.
• Keep your own listing unchanged while the report is reviewed.

What happens next

Etsy reviews reports and may remove the listing and notify the seller. The seller can respond with a counter-notice. Re-check the URL after a week.

Before you report: save evidence

Listings can disappear and reappear under new IDs. Before reporting, save the URL, a screenshot and an Internet Archive snapshot (web.archive.org → “Save Page Now”). See someone stole my product photos for the full checklist.
