Here's a new reproduction of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap a game that was originally released in 2004 and 2005 (depending on location). Listed by GamePalace who sells reproductions of games (not the original products), many of which were originally released in the 21st Century -- in other words, new copies of content newer than 20 years old can be sold as "vintage" on Etsy!
Here's a Vintage Bible Journal Kit listed as a "vintage supply" even though the package includes (according to the seller's description) "a mix of old and a few new" pieces. Listed by ThePaperBasket the package actually includes handmade (altered) paper items, which can't be considered "vintage" after being altered by the seller. Clueless or mendacious or both? You decide.
A contemporary printing of The Original Rider Waite Tarot gets backdated by mendacious seller TranscendentalismGB into a "vintage item from the 1910s". This is true only in the Etsyverse where the guidelines for sellers allow the dating of any reproduction to the age of the original!
Buy the same boxed set for less on Abe Books where the publication date is listed as 1999. This listing ranks as the 67th most relevant Vintage listing.

New fake vintage items ranked in the top 100 most relevant Vintage listings. The 61st most relevant item is this brand new cast iron pointing finger hand listed by reseller xlr8imports who has an Etsy shop filled with brand new cheapie import products (hence the shop name) listed as "vintage". You can be sure that no one that squeezes their support into the #etsysellsvintage Klown Kar has ever reported this seller.
