EG Boots on eBay BEWARE

[MalfordOfLondon]

Wanted to post this to prevent anyone being scammed.

a zero feedback seller is selling some EG Chelsea boots here

These are *my* photos and my boots were a UK 8 so these are definitely not the same pair.

Just a heads up as I'm sure these might generate some bids. Have reported to eBay

You can contact eBay & let them know that those are your photos. Tell them that you own the copyright to the photos, & they'll shut the auction down.

Dodgy, very dodgy indeed. The username is different, but I wonder if it is actually the same person who I posted about the in "Cool shoes" thread a week or so ago?

I sent a message to eBay about it, letting them know that the photos were not of Edward Green, but it doesn't seem that any action was taken. That seller also had some auctions up using photos taken from Shop the Finest/The World's Finest.

^^ Maybe I will.
eBay has now changed the photo policy in the UK. You can only report someone that is using your photos if you have a *live* auction with the photos in question.

I've reported it using a different method but doubt they will be taken off.

Thanks for letting us all know!

@OP: I had a similar situation also.
This eBay auction, apparently had used my own photos of my MTO balmoral boots. I found out about that a little late though.

Rebel222: both a great seller and a freaking ebay ninja.

Replace your photos on the original server with photographs of Michael Jackson, or kittens, or gay Appreciation. Problem solved.
