eBay PowerSellers
According to eBay Power Sellers are 'the pillars of our community'. How come such honest eBay members steal our copyright images?
Pillocks of the community might be more appropriate!
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 2008 Canadian Vancouver Olympics Silver Maple images, 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!
Multiple Offender
When we found intim0's current listing, we naturally checked back to see whether he was stealing our other images, and found that he had used our images a total of 29 time before we noticed him.
He had received feedback for 21 of the listings, so it looks as though there were 7 finished but without feedback, and one current.
Price
He used a starting price of $0.99 for these listings, and got an average of over $1,000 per lot, grossing over $30,000 for the 29 listings posted before we noticed him..
What Date?
The idiot states in his listings that you will receive a 2009 dated coin, not 2010 as shown, but he actually used the photo of our 2008 coin. What a Wally!
