I have been a seller/buyer on eBay since the beginning, and haven't run across this one yet. My nieghbor who has purchased $15,000 worth of bedding items from Domestications and sells them on eBay. This morning she received the following email
.
"As a representative for Domestications, I must ask that you remove the images taken from our web site for your comforter items
immediately. Images can not be taken from our website for your use on ebay. You must create your own images for use on ebay.
As a Vero participant, we will petition ebay to end your auctions for you if you do not remove them."
One, my neighbor IS NOT copying pictures from their website! How tacky! She simply scans the picture that is inserted into the package and uses that as her picture. Does this policeman have a valid right? Can he have her ads removed?
Thanks for the help.

The pictures on the package contents are probably copyright material - and may very well be the same images that are on the web site.
"This policeman" as a member of Vero has every right to kill the auctions.

Is the package cropped out of the picture completely? Maybe you could use a broader scan that included part of the package.
