<p>[QUOTE=&quot;elverno, post: 609539, member: 567&quot;]Actually I regularly have people copy entire pages from my website, including images and embed them in their eBay listings. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I run across them, and I almost always do, I write the seller and demand that they remove the pictures at least. That&#039;s because it&#039;s my medal or coin they&#039;re advertising for sale and it doesn&#039;t matter whether they have one that looks exactly like it. The other reason I demand they remove the links is because they&#039;re literally stealing my bandwidth for commercial purposes. My personal coin and medal collection website is not a free stock picture hosting site like one seller suggested to me!</p><p><br /></p><p>After 24 hours I report to eBay. After another 24 hours I repoint the link to images that contain text stating that the seller is stealing my images, bandwidth and attempting to defraud the buyers viewing the listing. That usually does it though with the &quot;free stock pictures&quot; guy I had to resort to a picture of the south end of a north traveling mule to get him to desist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Usually the sellers switch off the pics with an apology. eBay almost never helps. In nearly ten years my pics have ended up in almost 400 listings and eBay has assisted once. I figure the guy was new...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
