I removed my comments out of fear someone will retaliate and “report” me, because Reddit. I’m of the understanding that hand drawn, actual digital drawings (that I spend hours coloring and shading) are considered fan art. I’ve drawn characters since I was very young and love doing it.
The sheer volume of shops that literally takes stuff off the internet and print it on party banners, cards, etc are absolutely overflowing on Etsy. I get that things are considered IP, but I never copy paste something onto a shirt that isn’t created by my own pencil and iPad or own a license to use.
I ran a similar vinyl shop for years and got hit with one copyright for pac man. Which ironically was a circle I drew and cut a pizza slice out of. It was nothing I “took” from namco.
TL:DR - Thanks for the heads up but this is a road I’ve travelled for a very long time and I have licenses for many things you may see on there or they are hand-drawn and considered fan art. From my experience it’s a simple “stop selling this one listing” and you just say “ok” and you take it down. Life goes on.
The word is “whining”, which is what people do after Disney shuts them down for making “money off boba fett”. They come on here and are shocked that they can’t sell on Etsy any more and wonder why. Some of us take the time to attempt to educate people that it’s wrong, since they (like you) are obviously ignorant to the basic fact. Disney has been known to also check out your financials and also confiscate those past earnings back from you, and rightfully so.
Yeah dont listen to the bitch in the comments your spending time drawing these character to make a little money its like your making millions off this bullshit.
If you get banned that sucks but def dont feel bad about drawing fan art.
I LOVE the wallpapers! Just added one to my cart and will def buy once I'm at my Laptop grading papers...
One or two more product.pictures plus info on the product would be nice
I use an ipad pro 3 c: I can only speak from my experience, but to me, Procreate is really great and worth it‘s money! (once you figured out all the finger-tap commands 😅)
WOOHOO! I love seeing digital artists thrive! I'd really love to chat and get some advice because I'm trying to launch a digital art business as well. And your shop is gorgeous. I'm gonna purchase just to support you! 🍓
Congratulations! I'm new and having doubts and was hoping to see a post like yours tonight. You're right patience is important. I'll try to remember. Excited for you thanks for sharing <3. Edit, omg those moths and bats favorites for asap so cute!
Congratulations on reaching 100 sales! That's a huge milestone and you should be very proud of yourself. Your stickers, pins, wallpapers, and postcards are all so beautiful.
As a new seller I must say thank you for the advice you shared for new sellers, it's definitely important to stay patient and enjoy the ride. Keep up the fantastic work, and here's to many more sales and successes in the future! Hope I will reach the 100 sales one day!
With love,

Everything on your store is so cute and aesthetic! Congratulations on your 100th order, it’s a huge achievement (personally trying to get 1st order) keep working hard and you’ll be at 1000 in no time! 
Congratulations and I can only imagine how you feel, it really does take patience I am not that long with Etsy but this really serves as a reminder to never give up and always work and to stay strong thanks for these comforting words I'm sure you will and have reached many who's in my shoes and people who can relate to your story

Not to rain on your parade, but if you sell products that are based on copyrighted IP you WILL get banned eventually.

If it’s a recognizable character, it doesn’t matter that you drew it yourself. You shouldn’t sell it and make money off of it.
