Does anyone have a shop stalker?

And have you done anything about them, or just let them get on with it?

I have a problem with another shop, who copies my paintings (I sell little abstract watercolours, so they are made up by me, without using reference photos). I have had several removed by Etsy that were as close to identical as you can get with watercolours. Every time I add a new element into my work, they copy it.

I know they are deliberate copies, as this shop also copied my shop announcement in the past, copies they way I do all my photos, copies my Instagram posts, and even uses my shop name (a made-up name so they haven't used it accidentally). Their listings always show up in my shop as something "you may also like", and it's really pissing me off.

Just wondering if there's anyone else out there who's had a similar experience.
