Ha Ha Ha

A BIG JOKE.
You know once your reply to their email indicating about the images what will they say?
It's stock images & anyone can use it.

I am a jewelery seller & I click images of my products, once someone have copied my images & when I reported the matter I also received the same reply as yours. When I replied to them that these are my own images, their reply was stock images can be used by anyone.

Since stock photos do not belong to us, we have no right to watermark it, as it belongs to the company. Only photos that we shoot with our own cameras can be watermarked.

As per coping the description & html, it is indeed a serious issue and must be reported by clicking on Report Item link.

Hi,

Nothing will change, stop complaining and start copying his items. This is the only way to stop him from coping your items.

There is a similar incident,once a seller was using my images so i reported the matter to Ebay TNS ,besides that i also emailed the seller to stop using my images.
The reply from TNS was "There is no similarity between the images".
The reply from the seller was" i am very sorry ,i was not aware of the Ebay rules,I will not use your images from now on".
