The image you're using isn't the image of your product, it may be similar, but it's still not the image of what you're selling, therefore it's false advertisement in a way.

Take your own picture, and that'll do it.

I still like the idea telling them to stop copying yours.

I think they've made it yes.

Basically the image is a normal picture of a product (from the original manufacturer, available anywhere and everywhere) but with extra images and names photo shopped over the top.

Part of the image ive found in hundreds of websites through google image search
so I might just take it, reverse it the other way and wack it on the same picture.. lol.

After the "you have been warned" bit I'd be seriously tempted to bait them.

I always copy someone else's listing.

Not worth copying someones listings and/or image. Especially an image they have taken themselves. eBay can and will cancel your listing, and can take it further if they wanted to. Also, its very easy to create a duplicate account, buy an item of yours and trash feedback. Only takes a couple of negs to drag you down!

Not worth it if they are your competitors!

you will look like a scammer and no one (whos not stupid) will bid , your item will sell cheaply to a really risky chap who thought hed risk a scam for a bargain anyway

Do this.

In all seriousness if he reports you to ebay they will remove your auction and you will get your listing fee back.

My gf did this and the owner of the listing reported it to Ebay and they cancelled her listing and she lost her fees.

I never realised they lost their fee as well as having the listing removed. A similar thing happened when I last sold something on ebay, I never bothered contacting the other person just reported it to ebay and it was removed. They relisted still using my image so I reported it again and it was once again removed.
