Hi all, I hope you're having a wonderful Monday!
My shop has picked up a little bit recently and I attribute that to SEO and the Etsy Ads I have, but yesterday I got my second admirer for the store and for a moment, I got to see the avatar, but it was in the evening and I went to bed. Then this morning, I noticed that they had switched their settings to private, so now I have a public admirer and a secret admirer.
I don't particularly care about people's favorites and I get that they don't want anyone to see what they might be interested in at one point or the other. But the fact that I can't see the avatar or their shop is a little alarming to me (although I might be overthinking it).
I'm only at the beginning of this journey. I have invested a lot of time and effort (and a moderate amount of money, too) in everything, and it kills me to suspect that I might be tracked by someone wanting to copy my designs or someone wanting to report my items in case I ever make a mistake and use a trademarked expression. It seems that actually happens - I saw a whole video about a lady saying that her items were being reported by other sellers. I've never reported any of the ton of products that are trademarked on the platform simply because I don't want to cause anyone harm.
Anyways, I'm sorry for this rant, but is there anything I can do? Should I just stop stressing about it and just hope that it's not someone with a nefarious intention? I mean isn't it a little weird that they became private after following my shop?...
