I have no idea what drop shipped means. I have gotten some great Tolkien-themed art from Etsy, though.

It means the seller never actually buys the stock and is just an intermediary for the manufacturer. Consumer orders from an online store front run by the seller; seller takes that order to a manufacturer and the manufacturer mails it directly to the consumer.

And usually the dropshipped products themselves are overpriced and of poor quality.

How is anyone supposed to know if the seller is just buying from somewhere else?

I think some of the time people will just try to search for the same item on Alibaba and see if they can find it there.

DA A lot of the top listings are also on Amazon. Amazon does have a handmade market but those aren’t the items that are showing up on Etsy.

Because a lot of them are lazy and will just steal the original pics from whatever company they're selling it from, so sometimes a reverse image search will be helpful. Or do a general search for key words from the listing and see if it comes up on various sites like Temu or Aliexpress, stuff like that.
