I just reported them, but I was wondering if anyone has ever had this happen to them before? There are several consequences for it according to the "eBay rules" but I was just wondering what actually happened to the other seller? I'm assuming that they will have their listings canceled by eBay, but it also said something about suspension of their account.

Anyway, this just kind of ticked me off. I guess people are just too lazy to come up with their own descriptions, and take their own pictures I hate it when people have to COPY everything and can't just do their own thing!


I had a someone similar situation. I no longer sell on ebay and havent for a while but not too long ago I found an ebay member stole my pictures from my website so I was livid and turned them in. This person even lied and tried to say the pictures of my Chloe was her own dog so I harassed and threatend her until she removed all my pictures (which was several dozen auctions she had used them in). She ended up having to shut down for awhile to remove all my photos and she had to start over with new listings which I was happy because I knwo that takes a really long time to set up. It just made me even more pissed that she woudl try and tell me the dog was her and she even watermarked my photos as her own. Sadly, every once in a while I have to get on ebay just to police and make sure no one is using the modeling pics that I took for use on my website only.
