How do I block people from coping my images in ebay auctions? Can someone help me with this? Thanks!

Hello,

Here are some suggestions that may help with this problem:

1. The best way to avoid this is to watermark your images. Vendio offers an Image WaterMarking feature to help protect all images in your account. You may sign up for this service here:

2. Insert javascript into your listing's description that will disable right-click. You will find many scripts available on a Google search. You must be very careful when inserting javascript that you do not alter the script in any way. Note that this is not foolproof - users can still view the source code of the page to obtain the URL.

3. If you notice that your image is being used in an active auction, and you are not currently using it in any of your auctions, delete the image. This will remove it from our server and it will no longer be displayed in the auction. Note that this will only work if the user has inserted your image URL into their listing. If they have copied your image and uploaded it to their own server, you will need to contact them or notify eBay of a copyright infringement.

Regards,

Sonya
