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 photograph of a 14 coin silver proof collection, but failed to inform potential buyers that the set in the photograph was not the one he owns, or that they will be bidding on. This is deception.
Sadly, it is also typical of eBay!

Price
Unbelievably, he was asking a Buy It Now price of £400, compared with our price of only £295.
His asking price is more than the Royal Mint originally asked for brand new perfect sets (second-hand ones are often fingerprinted, or smell of fag smoke). Our price is also for perfect.
We do not know why people think buying on eBay is cheap. Often prices are higher, partly because of eBay's 10 selling commission. Also on eBay, you are often dealing with amateurs, who are probably only expecting to deal with you once, so they don't mind deceiving you or ripping you off. Some eBay buyers are stupid enough to fall for it, though.

More
We note the same eBay member also stole our photographs of 2006 & 2008 Gold Proof Sovereigns.
