The OP is talking about an item that had more than 15 listings by 11 different sellers for a glamour item that was selling 3-4 times a day - I hopped over to Zalera to check the MB before I made my post. The OP offered no information that would prove they were being copied. It easily could have been one of the normal sellers for the item relisting after their last one sold.

Strangely enough, I didn't even see a skirt with the OP's name listed as the Maker's Signature on the Zalera MB so it must have sold regardless of the undercut. Why whine about something that still sold?

They need to learn how things work, not live in some sheltered world where they think everything will happen as they want.

Personally, I don't care if someone copies me to sell the same thing. I think competition is good for the market. It keeps prices reasonable compared to the effort needed to make the item. It encourages sellers to seek out new parts of the market that might not have enough supply compared to demand. If someone asks me for ideas on what to sell, I'm more than happy to share what I know and give examples of what I'm usually selling. I can always change what I'm crafting if I feel competition has devalued the item too much.

I might do most my crafting in housing but not because I'm paranoid someone is going to copy me. I do it because I hate people jumping up and down on me or spamming emotes at me while I craft. I got fed up with that sort of thing quickly when I first started playing.
