Stolen listing what can I do?

Quick update folks.

I think the witch had her revenge on me tonight for getting her listing removed.

With less than 10 minutes to go my highest priced auction was pulled for containing adult material. I had 14 watchers and the current price was up to £35 ish.

The auction was for babies washable nappies!!!!!!

Can anyone tell me the reasoning behind this and if there is anything I can do about it?

Adult material? That is so weird!

Maybe she implied they were soemthing to do with fetishy stuff (not sure what the appeal of that would be, but according to Jerry Springer The Opera it's quite popular!). It would be worth asking ebay for an explanation, if only for your own curiousity.

I'd just list them again slightly differently, she'll probably have lost interest in you by now and moved on to nicking someone elses photos!

Becky I think I've just found out why, and it may be nothing to do with the listing theif!

If the ebay policy is that clearcut, I woudln't worry too much about your listing-stealer reporting you. It could have been anyone.

There two things you can do to stop this sort of thing:

1, using a program like Paint Shop Pro you can type your eBay name across the centre of the photos.

2, You can disable the right click command on your auctions pages. This would stop people using copy and paste.

hope this helps for the future
