Hi everyone,

I have a quick question......if you would be so kind?

Is it against eBay's written rules to use (steal) anothers pictures and use them in your auctions?

Do you know the penalty if any?

Thanks in advance,
Phil

Phil,

Absolutely! It is not only against eBay's written rules... but it may also be considered Copyright Infringement under Federal Law (depending on circumstances).

Caning is administered across the bare seat.

the first auction i did was with someone elses picture. I asked permission and the seller even explained how to copy it to my hard drive so I could upload it.

if someone asks for my picture, I see no reason to not allow it since i sell a variety of items and very seldom the same thing twice.

do i think it is right for someone to copy or use a picture without permission? absolutely not, that is stealing plain and simple, but to feel all bent out of shape because someone asks makes no sense to me.
