Take a look at this, blatant copying of advert

Hi folks, just been browsing around ebay and came across two identical listings, some poor person has even watermarked their pictures and some one has come along and copied their complete listing.Do you think we should message the original seller.?
160535330263 = original seller
280619314965 = cheating seller

How have they managed to copy the complete listing like that.

    I had a listing of mine copied pictures as well and ebay did nothing as the wording on one section was not the same as mine. So much for Vero.

    They have copied the HTML hook line and sinker. 5 minute job.

    The GOOD thing is, the cheating seller hasn't even re-hosted the photographs, so the original seller could replace them in his photobucket with some luvverly roooood ones :j

    It's a seller's dream!
    I waited years for someone to do it to me :rotfl:

    They may have asked the original sellers permission to do this?

    Do you work nights by any chance ? and have just got out of bed, the wrong side.......

    If you are so worried about wasting seconds of your life reading things on this forum that don't interest you or that you agree with, go and do something more constructive instead then.
