Cheeky domains

I have a "shop" on Tindie (albeit currently all zero stock until they get working again, if ever) and now one on "Lectronz".

Ages ago I made tindie.uk domain, it web redirects to the shop on Tindie. Was a bit of fun. And a shortcut for me.

Now I have a Lectronz shop, so I made lectronz.uk in a similar way.

But this is a tad naughty maybe. Well maybe.

• As far as I know neither have a UK trademark so I could even make a legitimate business matching theirs, and even register a UK trademark, if I wanted, using their name.
• They could dispute with Nominet, but if I then did a UK trademark, I may manage to keep it.
• The URLs do actually go to their web sites (albeit my "shop" on their web site) so is not, in that respect, a breach of trademark - it references *them* - so just like someone selling Nike shoes can use the word Nike to do so, in an advert for their "shop". I'm selling/referencing their platform.

But yes, it is cheeky, shall we say. And in hindsight maybe a tad childish and not like me...

So now, given that Tindie is a waste of space compared to Lectronz, even when Tindie is working (which they have not been for a month), I now have a much simpler URL:

https://shop.revk.uk/

It goes to Lectronz.

FYI, if Tindie do come back I may list Faikout only, like we do on Amazon. Lectronz is likely to be the main place for any of the other circuit boards (and Faikout). Amazon only continue because they are one of the first places people go, still, so sensible to be on there, and they handle EU VAT, and shipping - but Lectronz do the EU VAT and US tariffs, so Amazon are only there to mop up on their reputation, as it is.

What is funny about Tindie is being off for a month is that someone has made a "new Tindie" from scratch and got on line and working during that month - https://smallrun.net/. To be fair, if I put my mind to it, I am sure I could. They even have tariffs and EU IOSS all sorted (which Tindie do not, still). How Tindie are so slow and so bad at communicating is really quite amazing.
