    I have lived in China now for a great number of years, 10 years to be exact & over here copyright is not something the Chinese respect or more see it as the right to copy .... being sarcastic here.

    Found this on taobao - the Chinese Ebay

    http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.471.W7hFtn&id=18873782409

    It's a Retired kit from One Little Bird & Sahlin Studio but the seller had newer kits in her store as well from all over digiscrap land

    She sells the kits for app. 2 rmb which is 50 eurocent!

    Whoa- is she passing them off as her own designs? That's awful, regardless. Do Krista and Peppermint know about this? You should message them with the link, if you haven't already. What a terrible scam. Thank you for alerting us to this. I'm going to post it in our private forums, too.

    Can the designer make her stop? What steps can they take?

    What. A. Loser. She. Is.!!!!! What an awful and mean thing to do and I hope that this gets resolved soon. Seen this all too often and it's truly sad that one must stoop so low as to steal.

    I saw this posted in another shop forum, I just do not understand this behavior...I feel bad for all the designers who have to spend time trying to solve these issues.
