eBay/Craigslist 13 bids? kioti 3052.....another ebay

[MotorSeven]

Am i missing something? Firts of all the seller requires a wire transfer within 24 hrs of sale. Then if you look at his prior transactions he has recently sold the exact same Corvette and Chev Class C motorhome to FOUR different "positive" feedback buyers

Aaaand what realy gets me is 13 bids? Gimmie a break


oh well, it gave me an excuse to try out this here new fangled operating TBN system

I went looking for it.

Never found it.

Probably just another scammer.

Argg, forgot to "save" it. Anyways, i just can't believe someone would bid that up without doing 5 min worth of checking!

Ok, I found it under "Completed Auctions". It did not sell as it didn't hit the reserve. See here:

Also, I don't think the colors are correct for a 2003 Kioti. I believe the frame should be grey.

I don't know how to use link, sorry.



"""eBay does not allow copying of auction text or photos.

You will find their policy here:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/...ext-theft.html

You can also report the problem on the page at the link above.

With the 10's of thousands, possibly 100's of thousands of listings, it would be impossible for eBay to check and cross check all of them.


I have been an eBay member since 1999. I have had powerseller status and I am a registered trading assistant with them.

My personal advice on protecting images is to get and use a program like MS Paint (found under START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/PAINT on windows machines)

or

getting IRFanview....a free little image editor found here:

http://www.irfanview.com/

Either program will allow the placement of text or a trademark over your photo(s). That way, the copycatter, if dumb enough to use your photos, will not be able to hide the fact that the photos are someone else's.

I have had others try and use my images....even with my name on them, BUT, having my name on them makes it easier for eBay to see and understand the images were mine and not the copy cats.

One great place for assistance with this problem is their Trust and Safety discussion board found here:

http://forums.ebay.com/db2/forum.jspa?forumID=107


or the Policies-User Agreement discussion board here:

http://forums.ebay.com/db1/forum.jspa?forumID=100

or here on the Photos & HTML board:

http://forums.ebay.com/db2/forum.jspa?forumID=99


There are dozens of boards in all to assist members that you may find helpful here:
http://pages.ebay.com/community/boards/index.html


I hope this offers some insight and assistance on how to stop the problem of text and image theft.
