  • Wrong. It is against Ebay rules. Fact.

    If you feel it is ok to do it, at least have the courtesy to ask first.

    This is so we can see where the majority view is.
    No attacks necessary. The poll is anonymous.
    Continue flogging the dead horse on the discussion thread if you care to do so.

    I spend time and effort on getting my photos right & making sure I put as much information as possible in my listing.
    How can it be right for someone to take this information & then compete against me?
