Today i got sued..

what type of content is that that he claim he own and according to you, you said it has been edited or is not fully edited
 
So today I received a DMCA Takedown Notice
mail from Shopify.

The point was that I stole descriptions from a dropshipper. 2 hours later I also received a message from the seller and he threatened that I had to remove it and 500 euros a day fine if I do not remove.

I don't know if I should take that threat seriously ..
So I went crazy, and I deleted my shopify store and my business email and my company.

They are right, but it is just a description and I had changed it a little bit but well.

I don't know if people have experience with this.

I just started 3 months ago and don't know everything. Almost made me the first $ 1000 in sales.

I am very proud of myself that I have come a long way, but deep down I am really sad that it went like this.

An online business is my dream, and in business I really got to know myself better. That you really have to be patient and that you have to have a plan and that you have to do everything step by step and not in a hurry. My goal is to make 2000 $ A month by June 1. I hope I will make it .. But for now I will take a break

Most E-commerce owners are bluffers. I've been threatened by a lawsuit before and it never happened.

Most of these guys can barely pay for their Shopify store, let alone file a lawsuit.

Their margins are so low they need to threaten stores that barely competes with them.

The lesson you learned is: never be lazy and just rewrite the product descriptions.

Closing your store was just an overreaction.

this is bad, I doubt they earn a lot selling their products? This is why they go around see which competitor can sue and one shot earn a lot rather than selling products?

I don't really know. They are some big online shops with thousands of reviews, so I guess they earn a lot already.

Yes, it is more than possible to cash out, especially for product pictures. There are companies, where their sole job is to 'protect photographers' and if you don't have a license for a photo you stole off of Google, you can pay upwards to 100's per photo. But, most of the time, it is all bullshit, especially for a single product description. Unless the OP copied every description from their collection and product page.

But, most small business owners don't want to deal with going through with a lawsuit and would rather fearmonger the competing store into giving in. It will cost more for the lawsuit than it is worth - especially when the offender store is most likely a drop shipper that bought into the Shopify dream. E-commerce margins are so low on Shopify for most of these E-commerce brands that you'll be surprised how little money they have when it is all said and done.
 
@MrBachir Which payment method do you use for dropshipping store?

As paypal no longer allows dropshipping, I am wondering how you cope with it?
 
Who knows if he can be real and take some sue steps in action.
Better to remove his images and text.
And put it yours.
Don't change urls, this way you will slowly get all new rankings back.
 
i think they got large funds inside ?

Yes you are right. He was doing $2000- $3000 daily sales.

So dropshiping is okay with paypal? I stopped my project midway after seeing that thread.
