eBay Copyright Thieves
Many eBay vendors use our coin photographs to sell inferior quality coins on eBay. These eBay members are dishonest and should be avoided.
We believe eBay profits from IP rights infringements (copyright theft), and does so knowingly, only removing infringing items reluctantly, if at all.

Sample Listing

Olympic Handover 2 Pound Coin Beijing 2008 London 2012
To celebrate the successful London 2012 bid and commemorate the Olympic Games Handover Ceremony the Royal Mint has struck this beautiful Bi-Metalic (sic) £2 coin. The £2 coin appropriately features the Olympic Flag and the London 2012 logo. Surrounding the central design are the words 'BEIJING 2008' and 'LONDON 2012' along its outer ring, set against a backdrop of lines reminiscent of an athletics track. The first ever United Kingdom coin to feature the Olympic Flag and the London 2012 logo. The reverse bears the portrait of Her Majesty The Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS. and bears the words Elizatheth (sic) II D G REG FID DEF.

What's Wrong?
We invest a great deal of time, effort, and cost into creating some of the best photographic coin images on the internet. We strongly object when lazy and dishonest people decide to use them without a by your leave or thanks, doing so in competition with us.
Copyright theft is dishonest. We recommend you avoid doing business with dishonest dealers.
This particular eBay seller not only stole our 2008 Olympic Handover 2 Pound Coin Beijing 2008 London 2012 Silver Proof Coin image, but failed to inform potential buyers that the coin in the photograph is not the one she owns, or that they will be bidding on. This is deception.
She does not state that her coin is a silver proof, or even a proof version, so it is probably the ordinary, common, circulation type, possibly not even in mint condition.

Price
She used a starting price of £1.99 for this listing, and we were surprised to see buyers queueing up to bid £6.07 for one, and £9.75 for another, when they are almost certainly going to get nothing better than a coin from change The Royal Mint will sell a specimen version in an attractive package for only £6.99; and we sell it for slightly less.
Some (only some?) eBay buyers are as stupid as the sellers are dishonest.

Same Spelling Errors
karenm1811 made the same two spelling errors as another eBay copyright artist speed3210, so we guess one of these copied their listing from the other. Fancy eBayers copying each other, how terrible! Whatever next?
