An advanced search has indicated that the seller you've named above has only been registered on eBay, China, since 10 Jul, 2014 and has no current or completed listings, so what makes you think that he has stolen images and descriptions from your listings?

This is precisely the reason it is against eBay's posting rules to 'name and shame' other buyers or sellers, in case you get it wrong or make a mistake and ruin a perfectly innocent member's reputation.

Ebay's search of completed listings isn't always accurate or up to date.

However, these are listed on the US site.

Unfortunately the above link doesn't connect with anything. However, I did log on to ebay.com and that seller does indeed have 5 current listings for dolls, presumably with purloined images from the OP, in which case the OP needs to contact eBay by phone and report the seller for using their copyrighted images. Having said that, it is still against the rules to name and shame on these boards.

"Unfortunately the above link doesn't connect with anything"

That's odd as it works for me .

0428rachet5,

As already advised by CQ and your other thread:

http://community.ebay.com.au/t5/New-Community-Experience/scammers-that-steal-listings/m-p/1410615#U1410615

contact ebay by phone through Customer Support at the top of the page.

Just to let you know, I tried your link again and it worked just fine the second time. The first time it just sat there, telling me it was trying to connect with goofbid but did absolutely nothing. Go figure.

Scammers will target any listing where they think they may get a quick sale,

How come you're allowed to say it and I got edited?,

Let's hope all scammers have very short careers,

I did wonder if that's what you said too! I wonder if it's a new mod that thought you were naming their new ID name or something. Weird!

In this instance you were correct and the seller has been NARUed as a result. However, a number of times in the past, people have made typos when naming & shaming, leading to the wrong person being named as a crook, which is one of the main reasons that we're not allowed to identify other members by name on the boards.
