I'm finding pirated copies of my Inked Adventures Map & Dice playing cards. They even use my own product photos.
The following sites are NOT legitimate sellers of my products and are possibly criminal in nature.

Any one selling identical cards under a brand called "Lacesi" are selling fakes. Sometimes they appear on the Alibaba sites. I do NOT sell through Alibaba.
I DO NOT receive any income from those sites.
I also do not sell through Amazon. I am currently unable to list my cards on Amazon because, despite being the artist and designer, my products do not have specific retail codes - a restriction created to limit counterfeited goods. This does not stop sellers of the pirated cards, but Amazon has regularly honoured my requests for listings to be removed when I have reported them.
My main outlet for the playing cards is on Etsy, with print on demand options on US-based DriveThruRPG and The Game Crafter. Sometimes I sell on Ebay as BilliamBabble and on Folksy (see links in the margins of this site for links to my Etsy storefront or visit the products page).
International Customers – Items are reliably posted as International Standard Class Large Letters, for which there is NO tracking number. In normal times it takes 2 weeks for an item to arrive. More recently it has been taking up to 5 weeks to reach some of my customers (especially in the US). In nearly all cases the packages eventually arrive. Royal Mail UK is having problems with backlogs and delays. I cannot refund or replace orders until well after the initial 5 weeks has passed. I thank you in advance for your patience and understanding in these strange times.
UK Customers – Items are sent as First Class Large Letters. Normally these would arrive 1-2 days after dispatch, but in a few cases they have taken over a week to arrive. Again, as with my International Customers, I am happy to refund or replace in cases of post definitely becoming lost (after a reasonable period of time). Thank you in advance.
Recently the UK Royal Mail postal service announced that it was having large backlogs of post (mail) to clear. My own customer feedback is that International Standard Large Letter postage to the US and Canada, which should take no more than 2 weeks, is taking 4-5 weeks to arrive. Royal Mail has also stopped accepting packages for Europe. Locally, First Class next day post can take over a week to arrive.
With so many delays in postage I have temporarily suspended international sales on my Etsy site (I have removed my items from Ebay), since I am unable to provide accurate arrival dates which in turn affects my customer support when it comes to providing full refunds and replacements for lost post.
My existing international customers on Etsy:
I genuinely believe that your items will arrive, but I do not know when. In some cases I can provide refunds. I am reluctant to use my normal policy for declaring post “lost” and sending a replacement under these special circumstances, mainly due to not be able estimate when the second package will arrive. Tracking from UK to international destinations is three times the price of the usually reliable international standard large letter class. There were also practical problems with that service this year due to the Covid Pandemic, so I am unable offer tracking numbers.
Hopefully the situation will be improved in January 2021 when I hope to return to posting internationally. Thank you for your patience.
The Inked Adventures Map & Dice Playing Cards are currently being reprinted in bulk and should be available from the middle of January in my Etsy Inked Adventures store. I am overjoyed at the popularity of that product and keep hoping to restock as long as I can.
Downloadable, home printable products are always available in the Inked Adventures store on DriveThruRPG .
I’d like to thank all of my customers for their support, and some for their ongoing patience in these strange times.
Many thanks for reading, stay safe. Will M./Billiam Babble.
