Someone with zero feedback in China is using my pictures from an auction I currently have running. They are not even smart enough to wait a week or two! I am worried that it will raise suspicion about my auction and will affect the outcome. How do I report it immediately?

EDITED: I know it's not coin related, but I also know how the forum loves taking down the crooks. Please see links below to help me end the jerks auction.

I've made a few of those reports

Bustman,

Do you have a link to the scammer's auction?

coinguy1 · March 16, 2005 5:15AM

Russ, I would guess it's this one:link

Bustman · March 16, 2005 5:17AM

Thats the one! It's not coin related, but I get SO mad when this happens.
And thanks for the help.

Looks like you've been SHANGHAI'D

Russ · March 16, 2005 5:27AM

That's a damned nice looking timepiece.

You should check to see if they downloaded your images and are hosting it themselves, or if they are just linking to your pictures. If they're linking to yours, you could always change the image they're linking to (and of course edit your auction to point to the correct picture). eBay doesn't pull auctions from my reports, but I bet they act fast if an auction has some good pr0n pictures in it.

<< <i>(and of course edit your auction to point to the correct picture). >>

He can't edit because he has bids.

eBay contacted!

Thanks to everyone. This is so blatant, yet it seems to be taking ebay for ever to yank it. I would appreciate any help with reposrting this to eBay.
Here is a link to my auction.My auction

Here is a link to the rip off artists auction: BOGUS!

By the way, here's the link for Reporting Image/Text Theft

Mark & Doug's link is also good.

Reported to eBay Security Center!!

And here's a link to report a fraudulent listing you didn't bid (after you sign in)

And this is what should be done to these Chinese Rip-Off artists---->

<< <i>scumnuker strikes again! >>

Just WHO is that masked man, Kimosabie ??!!

Bustman · March 16, 2005 11:12AM

Scumnuker to the rescue. He's my heroe!

MAD4MORGANS · March 16, 2005 7:48PM

It appears the "seller" of Bustman's item ended his bogus sale of the stolen auction because of "an error in the listing". He isn't NARU'd yet but I'm hoping...!

Bustman · March 16, 2005 8:30PM

That's good to hear, but eBay needs to figure out a way to keep scum like this from coming back. Fortunately for most people, this crook was as dumb as they come. Listing the same item with the same pics & desciption while my auction is currently running. If I wasn't so angry I could laugh!
Many thanks to the PCGS posse for your help!!!!
