There is a seller on eBay selling prints of historical images over their listing photos, and they seem to simply rip off other people's listing photos and tweak them a bit before re-selling prints of the same images. It's happened to me five times, where I've paid a high price for a rare card or image, all from different sellers (who unfortunately often don't obscure or watermark part of the image in the listing to prevent it being downloaded or ripped off for free), only for this seller to then mysteriously have the exact same images available for £3.25 a pop. They have got 42 negative feedbacks, but eBay have apparently removed these. What's the best way of getting to deal with this, or what if anything can be done? A rare card that I paid a lot of money for and which I may have sold on through eBay again at a later date now has little or no resale value due to the sake and apparently ripped off image being offered for only a few quid by this seller. Not happy.
How do you know they have 42 Negatives if as you say they have been removed.
On every listing it says something to the effect of "Got one like this or Want to sell one like this".
Clicking on this gives you exactly the same listing, including picture, which can be tweaked as you say and encourages this sort of seller, as it implies Ebay approval.
