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 fecker has blagged my picture, copied my write up, and then done a buy it now £5 cheaper than me :mad:

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?

ta.

sign up a new account for ebay and click his "buy it now" which will end his auction. dont worry about neg feedback as you probably wont use the account again

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 piss.





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

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 sh1t?

Is he linking to your pics? If he is, swap them for something obscene.

too late now, mine's sold .....though its the principle, and his last comment that bugs me.

what were you selling,

post his user name on here, and we should all use ask seller question so he gets tons of emails and we'll waste his time

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.

Actually if it's your photo and text, then yes - you DO own the copyright. You're right to complain to eBay.

I agree with Warwick, post his username on here and we can all mail him some "questions"

tally ho, 2387792818:D

lets me see your questions and replies :)

:D

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.

You do of course hold copyright to the picture, ask him to remove it. He'll refuse and that is your gambit to eBay - unathorised use of copyrighted picture.

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?

Have you seen this guys feedback rateing?

It aint very clean.

Sounds like a nightmare to deal with!

just asked this

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.

What a moron. Be a shame if someone did a buy it now on his item!

Unlucky :( I've had to deal with a loon recently too. How some people can get so petty is beyond me.

UB

auction ended

I see "scoobynetrox" was the lucky bidder!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

lol! Who's taking the credit then?

That would be me


Regulars will work out who i am ;) nosey bstards wont!

Lol everyone should make a new ID and do that to any auctions he starts, just before they finish - should p him off :)

Andy

Scoobynetrox?

Nice one :)

SB

you lot don't mess about do you :)


:D

Owned ;)

dont mess wiv da family .......scoobynet family HU H A A A

Don't forget to leave him a good feedback response :D

How about "Tried to complete deal but seller got arsey and said they were gonna leave me bad feedback because they didnt stick to their free delivery on "buy it now" so i didnt want item".

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 :D


oh yeah read this feedback on page 8 (its a positive feedback)

MONEY TAKEN,EMAILS IGNORED,ITEM NEVER SENT - AVOID AT ALL COST!!!! Buyer masonicblue
