The forum thread was shut down on January 9. Today is February 5, AND THE ITEM IS STILL LISTED.
I’ve flagged this piece of crap at least four times… what in the world will it take to get it removed?

Flagged……………but how long is it going to stay there? They are more worried about Twittering and closing down forum threads then getting rid of this junk!

Checked out a few other things…………a lot of mass produced stuff! Sickening!

I’m REEEALLLY trying to ignore it, plug my ears and shut my eyes and go LALALLALA but let’s face it: Etsy is turning into a fucking garage sale, and the only explanation is sheer greed/laziness on the part of admins. I’ll be moving my shop to another site. So sad.
