- 17How to stop copycats from stealing my designs and photosOnline marketplaces often flag the original creator's listings for copyright infringement or lack of handmade status while copycats mass-produce their designs. Filing individual takedown notices quickly becomes an overwhelming, endless task that destroys sales and forces creators out of business.
- 5How to stop fake orders on cheap digital productsScammers repeatedly target low-priced digital items using a single physical address paired with different, bouncing email accounts. Shop owners are forced into time-consuming manual reviews to prevent chargebacks, but tightening fraud filters too much ends up blocking legitimate customers and killing profit margins.
- 2Digital download not showing in purchases and link doesn't workEven when your payment goes through and you receive a confirmation email, the purchased item may fail to appear in your account and the provided links will say the download is invalid. Because the platform requires the item to be in your order history to process claims, you are completely blocked from downloading the file or requesting a refund. Resolving this is often frustrating, as buyers get stuck dealing with unresponsive sellers and AI chatbots instead of a human being.
