>> Hi Dave,

>>> Although this might be wrong, is there anything in Ebayland that says
>>> that this is any type of violation. This happens quite a bit on Ebay.
>>
>> Yup, it is against eBay rules. First, it is covered under there general
>> policy of not hosting any materials with copyright violations. If you
>> took the picture and posted it, you have the copyright. Anybody else
>> using it is therefore in violation of this overarching policy. However,
>> eBay specifically prohibits lifting pictures and/or descriptions from
>> other eBayers. In the complaints section there is a specific link for
>> notifying eBay of such violations. I have found that these sorts of
>> violations are responded to fairly quickly by eBay. Where you get into
>> choppy waters is when things are less clear, like shills and unethical
>> conduct. These things can be more difficult to prove so eBay appears to
>> follow a policy of "if it ain't obvious to us, we ain't doing nuttin".
>>
>> Of course many of us have experienced this sort of response as well as
>> auctions (either our own or ones we are bidding on) being taken down for
>> either arbitrary or incorrectly applied legal issues. For example, I had
>> a German police uniform yanked two weeks ago because of the rank on it.
>> Yet on German eBay if you don't see a hundred of these for sale at one
>> time you aren't actually on German eBay! Heck, I just saw one guy sell a
>> BOX of ranks (estimated to be over 300 pairs), so if someone wants to
>> impersonate a German police officer, I don't think they'd by my uniform
>> from the US when they can get boxes of the stuff locally. In fact, they
>> could just get one from a German police officer, which is where mine came
>> from. Sadly, like so many eBayers on this list, my logic fell on deaf
>> ears.
>>
>> Still, for all its negatives I love it. I sell tons of stuff without
>> problems and buy just about as much (OK, significantly more <g>). Got
>> some good money for stuff I otherwise would have put in the dumpster too.
>> Just balancing out the bad comments with the positive :-)
