Reselling & Product Purchases Terms of Use

NO ONE has the right to use any of my art and claim it as their own.

To use any of my art for anything needs my permission and a commercial license.

This may sound harsh to some, but needs to be said.

Understand, a painting just does not take a few seconds to appear on the “digital” canvas. It takes me hours, between 20-50 hours to paint a SINGLE painting. I am a FULL TIME artist, it's my livelihood, it's what I do for my income, this is for what I do to pay my bills.

Reselling My Wholesale Art and Products Terms of Use:

First, I would like to thank you for supporting my art by buying wholesale from me directly, or purchasing products from my production partners Heaven & Earth Designs and US Games Systems Inc.

Online Handmade Marketplaces
I would like to start by stating that there are many places online to resell items you purchase wholesale, some of these sites are for creators, others are for resellers. I would like to focus here on the creator handmade markets, especially Etsy.

---------------------------------------

Etsy is a handmade (maker/creator/designer) and vintage marketplace. Etsy has their own rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are put in place not only to protect and support creators, but to protect Etsy as well.

When listing a product with my art for sale on Etsy, did you… List it in the handmade category?
Once again, Etsy is a marketplace for makers, creators, and designers. When buying art and products for resale, you are not the maker, creator, designer, or production partner. You're a reseller.

Etsy's policy forbids the resale of an item in their marketplace under the handmade category.

By listing your item in this category, you're implying that you, the seller, created the item and that is a direct copyright violation against the individual who actually created it. When listing in the handmade category, you confuse the consumer into thinking that you had a hand in the creation of the deck, thus making them think that they are buying directly from the maker.

When listing a product with my art for sale on Etsy, did you… List it as a “Supply or Tool to Make Things”?
Etsy allows the resale of certain items, in two categories only: Vintage and Craft Supplies.

Vintage products can be sold on Etsy if…

The item is over 20 years old, and if the maker of the item being resold does not have an Etsy Shop.
>>> You can read more about Etsy's vintage policies here. <<<

Craft supply products can be sold on Etsy if… (Supply or Tool to Make Things)

The item is a supply or tool to make a handmade craft, and if the maker of the item being resold does not have an Etsy Shop.
>>> You can read more about Etsy's craft supplies policies here. <<<

There is one exception to reselling, and that is metaphysical supplies.

You can resell metaphysical supplies on Etsy related to spell work, such as herbs, crystals, candles, and tinctures, as long as they are not listed with metaphysical claims, and if the maker of the item does not have an Etsy Shop.

>>> You can read more about Etsy's Metaphusical policies here. <<<

>>> Finally, you can read more about Etsy's reselling policies here. <<<

---------------------------------------

What this boils down to is this:

1. You cannot sell an item in “handmade” in the Etsy Marketplace if you did not have a hand in making it.

2. You cannot sell an item in “supply or tool to make things” in the Etsy marketplace if it is not a craft supply.

As for the metaphysical supply item exception, how it was explained to me on the phone with Etsy, if the metaphysical item has a “barcode” then it is safe to say it's not allowed. Finally, as part of Etsy's reseller policy, you may not resell anything that has been produced by another Etsy vendor. The majority of tarot and oracle deck artists (for example) have their own Etsy shops.

I understand that many vendors have been reselling items on Etsy's handmade marketplace for a while, and I hope they won't be permanently excluded from the site before they are aware of the rules they are violating.

As far as I understand, most handmade marketplaces have comparable or identical selling policies to Etsy.

When reselling products, I'd advise selling solely on reseller websites. Such websites include but not limited to; Amazon, eBay, Facebook, and your businesses personal website. Selling on these reseller sites are more geared towards businesses that resell products, and they will allow you to sell your art products without worrying about being removed from the site.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope it was helpful!
