That's the difference between gaining inspiration from and outright plagiarism.

If anyone has access to the eBay Powerseller board - this makes interesting reading - http://forums.ebay.co.uk/thread.jspa?threadID=1200339419&start=0

When looking at a question like this one another question springs to mind.
If a seller is prepared to break rules and steal someone elses pictures or text what other rules are they prepared to break?
Just something for everyone to think about.

He buys things, then relists then at a higher price, using the same descriptions (straight copy & paste!) and even steals the photos. He has purchased from me a while ago, and stole my HTML photos. Thankfully i noticed and then removed the photos, but he used my exact description only editing the p&p price! and i've noticed that he does this with pretty much everything he is selling, where you can see he's bought them on eBay on the same account! It's rude! I wouldn't mind if he'd asked permission but he has not been in touch at all, and never even left me any feedback.
