2010 List of eBay Members & Copyright Theft
Many eBay sellers, including dealers continually infringe our IP (Intellectual Property) rights by using our copyright images. We invest considerable time and money in our photographs, and do not appreciate their misappropriation by eBay members or others, especially when they are using our effort to compete with us.Copyright Notice Please see our "Copyright" page for further information.
Copyright Thieves on eBay
We already have a page naming and shaming dealers using our images without permission. It's time we did the same for eBay, although if we include them all, this could be a very long page.This page alone contained OVER 250 items by the end of 2010, and obviously excudes a number of listings we failed to spot.
eBay Ignore Copyright Infringement Reports Yet Again The VeRO department at eBay often act very slowly, sometimes ignore NOCI reports, or play dumb & request extra information, even when it has already been spelled out several times. Is this deliberate truculence or poor training?

Dishonest eBay PowerSellers
Is this tautological?You might be surprised at the number of eBay so-called PowerSellers who are dishonest and lazy enough to steal our images instead of taking their own photographs. According to eBay, their PowerSellers are "the pillars of our community". Pillocks more like!
But then, the more we see of eBay, the more we think of a den of thieves.
