Someone's copied my wording on my Etsy listings

I make and sell things on Etsy and have down for the last 4 years.
Today I noticed that someone making very very similar things has not only copied the style of photos for her makes, but also copied my listings word for word! Like literally copied and pasted.
Should I say anything? It stings a bit as it's my wordings and if anyone searches for my stuff and comes across hers they are likely to think we are the same person.

Unfortunately Etsy is full of these types of people. I have had somebody use my actual photos of things before too.
I think you can report them to Etsy but it probably isn't worth the bother as if they remove the listing, the person can just re-do again
I have actually messaged sellers in the past and threatened to report them to etsy and given them 24 hours to remove the copied items. Luckily just the threat of doing that has worked for me.
The ones that just have similar items (copied or not) you can't really do anything about Unfortunately.
