Sick of people stealing my product images

[Mattie]

He looks to be getting away with it all.

It really annoys me we all work very hard as small businesses and the likes of him just come along and steal designs etc expecting to make quick cash

I bet there would be one or two football clubs, film companies, and a few other organisations that would be interested in this seller! The problem as I see it is that people don't know what they are buying, who they are buying it from, cant tell quality from crap, and will but anything providing it's cheaper than what they have seen your product priced.

Most buyers don't give much of a hoot for who it's from or the quality in most cases. They just what whatever it is at the lowest price.

Whatever I'm after from fish food to wide format printers or solvent ink generally ebay is my first port of call.

I buy loads from ebay and I sort by lowest price first.... even if the price is several hundred pounds or 99 pence don't even care if it's going to take 3 weeks to get here from gundog or wherever just as long as it's a few pence cheaper.

Although imitation a form of flattery I guess copying isn't. They are selling personalised stuff so you'd think they would have their own examples to show. Its true that most sort by price on eBay or by distance if looking to collect and see before parting with the cash. Keep us posted on progress.

Its all ripped off and knocked out cheap, there is no way they can be making a profit at £4.99 a mug when you take into consideration VAT, materials, ebay costs, postage costs and tax.

Personally Mattie I would send a threatening letter to Ebay as they are the publishers of the material.

If it were me, I would pay him a "nice" visit.....

A solicitor letter should be in the post today to him.

Looks like I'll have to speak to ebay again as the images are still live and I was told they would be down in a couple of hours.

It annoys me as I'm spending my time chasing after people like him but if I need to go to court it all goes in my claim so he'll end up paying the cost

[Mattie]

well after having another heated discussion with Ebay they have finally removed the images and listings

[mrs maggot]

It always amazes me that the "have a similar item to sell" seems to allow them to then use the photo you have on your listing - which is just crazy
