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.

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 1965 Churchill Crown photograph, but failed to inform potential buyers that the coin in the photograph is not the one he owns, or that they will be bidding on. This is deception.
Sadly, it is also typical of eBay!
Price
He used a starting price of £0.99.
We suspect many buyers would be disappointed and annoyed when the coin they received failed to look as good as the mint condition specimen in our excellent photograph.
How Much!
WE have just reported the item to eBay, and took a quick look at the selling price. We were astounded to see a top bid of £4.91! We try to avoid using too many exclamation marks, but like expletives, it's sometimes hard to control. If all four bidders would like to contact us, they will find we sell selected Uncirculated ones for £1.50 each, which we think is a fair price, however we are always prepared to listen and learn. If there are enough people out there willing to pay £3, £4, £5, or more, then who are we to disagree? It's time to review our selling prices!
There goes yet another exclamation mark, they (the exclamation marks) will be putting in a pay claim for overtime.
Protest & Complaint
On 27th Nov 2009, we received an e-mail from Martin Walker, as follows:
Hi I am an ebay seller, your company keeps repeatedly reporting my coin auction on ebay apparently for breach of your copyright. I swear I havent (sic) copied anything from your website, it is my own picture and my own text that i wrote myself. It is for a 1965 Five Shillings Winston Churchill Crown. So please tell me what I am apparently copying, or stop reporting my listing. Thanks
Typically Uninformative -or Should that be Disinformative?
Most eBay copyright abuse artists don't bother to contact us to apologise, offer compensation, or with any non-repeat undertaking.
Some contact us, in which case, it appears absolutely standard for them not to bother to inform us who they are (their eBay ID / username), or the item number. This means we need to be detectives if we are to deduce or guess this essential piece of information.
In this case, we case combine the "walker" part of the names, and the 1965 Churchill Crown to deduce with about 99% certainty that it relates to "walker7200".
If this is the case, then Mr. Walker is either deluding himself if he thinks the Churchill Crown image is his own, or he thinks we are so stupid that we cannot tell our own photographs. The more eBay sellers we come into contact with, the more convinced we become that the vast majority of eBay members are crooks, liars, and thieves.
Repeat Offender!
Walker claims "your company keeps repeatedly reporting my coin auction on ebay apparently for breach of your copyright", so it appears an admission by him that he has repeatedly been reported for copyright abuse, yet keeps repeating and continuing it.
Some people never learn, possible because they prefer not to!
