Sellers pics will almost always have the same look to them so if you ever run across a seller who&#039;s pics are all different, beware!&nbsp; :whistle:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ebay won&#039;t pull auctions for photo theft, unless the copyright owner complains and I think that&#039;s a crock! Their rules clearly say that the pics have to be of the actual coin for sale, yet they won&#039;t enforce that rule. I think it&#039;s time WE complain.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; So feel free to use the Report Item Button at the bottom of the page.&nbsp; :hammer:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
