High eBay Feedback is No Guarantee of Integrity or Honesty

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 high quality copyright photographs of 5 different coins, but failed to inform potential buyers that the coins in the photographs were not the ones he owns, or that they will be bidding on. This is deception.
Sadly, it is also typical of eBay!

Repeat Offender
Only two days later, we noticed alarmco2008 using our 2004 gold proof Krugerrand photo in another eBay listing.
Some eBayers must be very stubborn, thick-skinned, or just plain stupid, to think that they can continue stealing images from the same company, and expecting to get away with it, although he did presumably take the two lots of images from different websites, so perhaps he did not realise we were the same company.

Price
He used a starting price of £30.
