An ebayer is "borrowing" my images

wybrit

Just a heads-up for those of you who might have seen the following pieces on ebay:


1889 Halfpenny
1899 Halfpenny

Incidentally, neither piece is for sale. S/he must have pulled the 100x100 thumbnails from my webpages.

I sent the seller a note requesting that s/he remove the images immediately.

Unfortunately this happens to me all of the time, even by members here on this forum.

I email the seller and give them X hours to remove the 'borrowed' image and/or text or Ebay will be notified. There are no excuses for this behavior, period.

Looks like the images have been changed.

I'm not condoning their behavior, however, it would be acceptible IF it were stock images of a brand new Krause catalog (for example) and you were selling the same. Yes?

A "Renny" is 1/240th of a "Round."

Seller is also selling fake Gobrecht and Seated Liberty dollars......

But the Half Renny is real.

I used google image search to look up a couple of his pictures. You can enter the url of a picture and it will look for matches.

One of the pictures of a Russian coin was taken from a Russian website.
One of the pictures of a half renny was taken from - - - the Collector's Universe World & Ancient Coins Forum in a thread from 2010!

I'm having problems posting links but if the pictures haven't been changed google will give you the same result.
