Not a good idea. If the original selller complains then your listing will be pulled, if they pull too many you will be temporarily suspended.

There is a reporting mechanism just for copied auctions, so don't risk it.

I agree, I hate it when people copy my listing that I put together, that includes the picture.

Ive had over 100 watchers on a handful of ocassions, thats pretty rare and expensive guitars though so its understandable.

I never copy entire descriptions or pics from other sellers, but I do occasionally find their listings to be useful sources of information, e.g. approximate date of item if I had no clue about it, or in one case, I was selling a Jack Daniels harmonica (originally a promotional "free gift" item) and I'm not a musician so didn't know things like what key it plays in, so I "borrowed" that information from a more knowledgeable seller.

I think there should be two watching buttons.

1} Watching cos I'm genuinely interested and will bid.

2} Watching cos I'm nosey.

I have tons of watchers at the moment but quite a few bidders too, so no complaints!:cool:

if you have sniping software, you can import all the watched items.
Possibly that would explain some of them.
You can set the software up to group bid. You mark all the same kind of item as watched,then in your software you set the maximum bid you will bid. If the price goes over the max bid, the software wont bother to bid but jumps to the next auction until one is won when it stops bidding. You could easily have 10 or so watched items and only be bidding on one this way.

Is this all sniping software, or just certain ones? Which ones have this function?
