> Jake,
> We had the same issue, someone copied our after description text word for
> word. Our lawyer had us add this text to every auction:
> "All material, text and photographs in this ad is the sole property of
> **Your Name Here** and is copyrighted under state and federal law. You may
> not use or reproduce anything from our auctions without our express
written
> permission."
>
> Ebay has strict copyright infringement policy that covers someone stealing
> text from your auction. Make sure you turn this person in. Ebay has a
> special category on their Safe Harbor Contact Support Page just for
> copyright issues and they were on it in 24 hours. We even contacted the
> other seller at Ebays suggestion to ask them to remove the text. They
> basically thumbed their nose at us until Ebay contacted them and told them
> to change it or else. Next day we got a nasty gram from the other seller
> tell us to **** off and oh yeah by the way that they changed the text in
all
> their auctions.
>
> Hope you nail this idiot.
