I talked to Ebay about it and they said there was just too much volume to end all of the listings that get reported. They mainly concentrate on the listings that are "fakes".Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054187209428838640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394330405783389501.post-66008212334370077902009-05-14T15:38:00.000-07:002009-05-14T15:38:00.000-07:00Another thing that wasn't mentioned is that you ca...Another thing that wasn't mentioned is that you can report the picture theft to ebay. http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/vero-image-text-theft.html<br /><br />If you report it in time, ebay will close down the offender's auction.Chris the Yardsale Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520877622936730452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394330405783389501.post-69597207167475388552009-05-13T19:34:00.000-07:002009-05-13T19:34:00.000-07:00Auctiva also has a right click disable mode for pi...Auctiva also has a right click disable mode for pictures INSIDE the listing template ... the problem still is the repeated image at the bottom, which is OUTSIDE of Auctiva's template and on the eBay listing page. Often times by contacting the Seller and tsk tsk-ing them, they just didn't know better and make the change right away. unless, of course, it's a full moon ;)SandyKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394330405783389501.post-17042789327306318172009-05-13T16:15:00.000-07:002009-05-13T16:15:00.000-07:00but there IS something you can do if someone is st...but there IS something you can do if someone is stealing your material. Your text & pics are your copyright material. I had several listings of one product that I was selling and someone came along and use MY photo for her listing. I emailed her but she didn't take it down. I had alot of buyers for this item and I didn't want them thinking it was my listing by mistake. So I reported it to Ebay. <br />Go to the bottom of their listing:<br />Click on "Report this listing"<br />In the drop down menu where it says "Reason for Report" choose "copying your listing" then continue from there. They will remove their listing.<br />Hope that helps!barterbettynoreply@blogger.com
