A listing is down, a strike is on the account, and the notice is written in language built to be hard to read at midnight. The worst response is a panicked one written from memory — and repeat strikes put the whole account at risk, so this one has to be handled from a record. That is what the VeRO / IP Takedown Response Pack from DealShore was built for. It does not decide who is right, it does not argue the law, and it guarantees no outcome. It builds the case file in the right order, before anything gets edited, relisted, or answered from emotion.
What the pack is, in plain terms, is a 10-page printable PDF system plus a working spreadsheet tracker. It starts with preservation: the notice copied word for word, and the listing saved exactly as it stood, before anything is changed. Then it builds the rights dossier — source invoices, any written authorization, and your own listing originals — assembled only from records that already exist, with anything you do not have named honestly, never reconstructed. Only after those two steps does any reply get drafted.
It was created because sellers lose winnable situations in the first hour. They edit the listing, which destroys the evidence of what it actually said. They answer from memory about where an item came from, instead of from the invoice. Or they sign something serious without review because the clock felt urgent. A pack that forces preserve first, dossier second, claim read carefully third — and flags the counter-notice step plainly for an attorney’s review before anything is signed — turns a midnight panic into a sequence you can actually follow.
Inside, the START HERE page explains where your files live in your Etsy account and which file is for what. The Moment This Solves page states it in one line: panic answered with a record. Preserve First covers copying the notice word for word and saving the listing exactly as found. The Rights Dossier walks through proving the item and proving the source — invoices, written authorization, listing originals — with gaps named honestly where a record does not exist.
Read the Claim is the worksheet that slows the reply down on purpose: it reads the notice in its own words to find what is actually being claimed before any response exists. The Response Sequence logs every chosen step in order, each with its date and proof. The Counter-Notice Worksheet gathers what a platform form will ask into one place, flagged plainly for an attorney’s review before signing, because that step can carry real legal consequences. The Strike Log keeps the account’s whole history in your own record — the pack’s demo shows 3 notices logged with 2 marked Resolved — and Prevention closes the kit by turning the case into sourcing and listing habits that hold for the next listing.
Who is it for? Marketplace resellers who have received a VeRO or other intellectual-property takedown notice and need to respond from records. Sellers with one strike who know a second one costs far more than the first. And any seller who wants their sourcing paperwork organized before a notice ever arrives, not assembled during one.
How to use it: the night a notice lands, do the Preserve First pages and nothing else — copy the notice, save the listing, edit nothing. Next, assemble the rights dossier from real records and name any gap honestly. Work the Read the Claim worksheet before drafting any reply, log each response step with its date and proof as you take it, and take the counter-notice worksheet to an attorney for review before signing anything. The included spreadsheet keeps the account view current: strike log, rights dossier index, and response step log in one file.
This pack is a general record-keeping and response-organization tool you complete from your own notices and records. It is not legal advice — consult an attorney about your situation. It states no intellectual-property law, marketplace policy, or response deadline as applying, and guarantees no outcome.
