So does the copier's images link directly to the aggreived seller, who has altered the original to scupper the listing?

Amusing.

Brilliant! I wish I'd have the brains to do that last time it happened to me - not only did they nick my wording & photo's - they then reported me to eBay for stealing it from them, the bl**dy cheek!

haha thats funny

That's brilliant.

Gymfiend - surely ebay could tell who stole who based upon the auction placement dates.

Yep they could tell but it took 4 emails and my going through old listings to prove it was mine - :mad: cheeky beggars!

Wow I hpe this never happens to me: I have a really immature sense of revenge and am likely to go boosting other peoples biddings then refusing to pay up....

i've just found a seller who has copied and pasted my (mostly copy & pasted from manufacturers site etc.) description for an item.

only they have also managed to copy and paste my template background as well, so i have no doubts at all where it came from !

i messaged them this:

Hi there,
I'm not too bothered that you copied and pasted my description for this item, as most of it was copied directly from the manufacturers descrition anyway.
But in future it may be worth only copying and pasting the content itself and not the template background as well (making it all the more obvious..) as some sellers really don't take kindly to this.
Cheers
