font-size: medium;"> <br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">With regards these Facebook adverts, you will need the advert codes to report them. You can search all adverts on the Facebook advert library yourself from here in case any others are selling as the above search specifies โYarnopiaโ:<br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> <br /></span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/&source=gmail&ust=1708366245243000&usg=AOvVaw0c6vAyyAaw8FPkPhHRuxmD" href="https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">https://www.facebook.com/ads/<wbr></wbr>library/<br /></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> <br /></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; letter-spacing: 0.1pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">To search the Advert Library - just put "All" in the first two drop-down boxes and then type your keywords. To find your pattern ads, I typed in "yarnopia macaroon". You can use this to search for any other advertisements for any of your other patterns that are likely to be pirated. I only have one Etsy Bestseller that they've stolen (to my knowledge) so I just put in "rainbow of stars" to see if anyone is advertising (although they are now renaming my pattern to Stellar Spectrum in their adverts as they think this will stop me finding them!). I've found several websites to take down that way before they can earn too much out of my hard work.<br /></span></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; letter-spacing: 0.1pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> <br /></span></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; letter-spacing: 0.1pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Then you need to report the adverts, Facebook intellectual property reporting page<br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> <br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/1758255661104383&source=gmail&ust=1708366245243000&usg=AOvVaw3NfQI5DMz8BRfO_OEnje0P" href="https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/1758255661104383" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/help/<wbr></wbr>contact/1758255661104383</a></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black;">So you can report the advertisements and the profile promoting it if you want to go that far. (It's so time-consuming and sapping of creative energy doing all this). However, reporting the ad using the three little dots doesn't do a lot, there is nowhere to explain it's an Intellectual Property/copyright issue and they will normally just respond to say the advert does not breach their rules and not remove it if you only report via the three dots on the advert โ so this long intellectual reporting page is the only way to successfully get the adverts taken down.<br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> <br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I have found that Facebook can take anything between 24hrs and 8 days to respond but they have always removed the adverts reported. I would recommend you regularly search the adverts as mine are back on sale around 24-48hrs later under a different selling page name.<br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> <br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The above only deals with Facebook/Meta adverts and not the websites themselves โ Yarnopia is directing your adverts to <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://lauracrafting.com&source=gmail&ust=1708366245243000&usg=AOvVaw34crbb79l3NZWjVE9do4c1" href="http://lauracrafting.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">lauracrafting.com</a> and that website is hosted by NameCheap domains.
