Can you pinch details on Ebay??
Ok, I am selling something on ebay, the picture in the advert was taken by me, the text in the advert was written by me, there was a start price and a buy it now for the item.
some cheeky ****** has blagged my picture, copied my write up, and then done a buy it now £5 cheaper than me
I have mailed him politely and he gets all snotty...I thought this sort of thing was against Ebay's T&C's.
any advice?

cheers, but I dont want to go down that road, plus I don't know if you can have multiple ebay accounts.
for what its worth...
My first mail to him…
Hi,
very nice of you to use my picture and text in the ****** advert.
So now anyone looking for a ****** will see the multiple adverts and think
something is fishy, so I get to miss out on a potential sale.
Please alter your advert text and remove my picture, not after making
enimies on ebay, but your'e taking the ****.
His reply….
Excuse me do you own copyright on these articles?? I don't think so. You
are lucky Im not saying why I am selling this load of rubbish
This advert will run its course I do not take kindly to threats
BRIAN TENCH
My reply….
Mr Tench,
"Tanks" for nothing.
I wil drop a note to Ebay in the morning with regard to your trading methods.
Regards,
Mike Pike.
His reply….
OK MY FRIEND SEEING HOW YOU INSIST ON THREATS WATCH MY NEXT ADVERT
And that is how it has been left, not overly fussed, as mine got sold this morning
.
What do you lot reckon he means?, is he up to something or just full of ****?

Sounds a bit of an ar$ehole,but to answer your question i cant see he's done anything against ebay rules,just a bit cheeky.
tbh i wouldnt wase my time emailing them,they get loads of mail every day.

Hi, I like the look of this but I have heard them described as a "load
of
rubbish" ....why are you selling ?? I just missed out on a better
looking
one so might have to make do with going for yours.
Cheers
Him:
"Get bidding then!!!!!"
Will have to wind him up a bit more I think.

Seems awfully suspicious that he would have the same item in the same condition as yours was at the same time, does he actually have one of these is what springs to mind, has he changed any of the wording at all?

Post another advert up for the same thing with the same picture and include his:
in the advert, together with a link to his sale.
Job done.

we should keep an eye on his auctions bid on ridiculous price ie £300 for something that's worth £100 so nobody else bids, then pull out with minutes to spare. so he still pays for the listing fee 
oh yeah read this feedback on page 8 (its a positive feedback)
