A direct rip of the language from my auction descriptions

Russ

I don't know if I should be flattered, or pissed.

That is word-for-word, exactly as it appears in my auctions, even the dashes around "or just a few coins". Would that irritate you other eBay sellers?

Maybe a little, but why sweat the small stuff?

Yes... I worked long and hard to find a good seller to copy my texts from!! They can find their own seller to rip their auction formats from!!

LindeDad

Well at least he's not trying to sell your coins. Beginning to believe it all cut and paste in the coin world now unless you know the seller.

robertpr

Ask him if he can sell a few of your coins, but tell him he has to write his own copy in order to do so.

tlhoy

He just started doing it.

Both are Times New Roman size 12 he just went with bold.


Looks like a cut and paste job to me.

I was wrong, Russ you type in size 10.

Oh sure, I want to have somebody "professionally" image my coins, with fuzzy, date stamped images.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

I posted a similar story about a week and a half ago:

Someone ripped off my text

I know there are html tricks you can use that keep people from being able to copy text. It occured to me today that you might be able to save copy as a .jpg or other form of image instead as actual text.

They can still copy your stuff, but they'll have to type it out instead of just cutting and pasting.

Russ: I think you should be flattered. Besides, with some of the "butchered" language I see on EBAY lately, it's nice to see something intelligent.

solid

I wanna be just like you too, Russ!
