To start selling here question.

[grumpy*cat*rocks]

Good morning.

I was just wondering if there is a protocol in place for when a member is able to start selling? For example: do I need to have a certain number of feedback from buying items?

I have a few items such as household items, books, dvds and a couple of pick up items also that I'd like to get rid of.

Obviously as a new member with only 1 feedback so far people might be wary. I am purchasing some lower cost items to try to build up feedback score.

thank you in anticipation of your advice and tips.

An image doesn't need to have a copyright sign or name to be copyright protected. That is good you have asked the owners. But you would be surprised how many think that just because something is on the internet that it can be grabbed and reused. Image theft is rife.

There was one time another seller had lifted and used one of my ebay item images AND used some of the wording - to sell their own item. When I contacted them about it they got shirty.

Apparently I was suppose to be FLATTERED that they had liked my image/words enough to use them? Image theft is no fun for the photographer.

chezzy, as far as ebay images go, ebay now has an image library and unless you watermark your images they are fair go for anyone to use in their own listings.

Well, I will be checking that, I doubt very much an ebayer is allowed to lift and use someone's personal (non library) images

I am not a seller but I believe there is a box to be ticked if you do not want your images in the library...do you tick it?

[chezzy]

I use Turbo Lister and my own self-hosted images, I have seen no box to tick regarding any image library

if i was you i would not bother selling here on ebay unless you really want to get rid of your items, they charge high fees and on top of that paypal also takes a cut....good luck though

I love grumpy cat.:-)

Grumpy cat certainly has acquired a great many fans around the world. So many of her images are shared and there are many hilarious memes shared each day by my facebook acquaintances. I just love her attitude, or should I say, 'cattitude', and her adorable little mouth. She really is quite small if you see a video clip of her.

My trouble is thinking of her as a him. I keep having to backtrack and change my hims to hers etc.

I have sent Grumpy Cats page owners a copy of my signature here in case they may want to share it around too.

I am famous, my post here is a 'Featured Post' on the Discussion Boards entry page. How exciting. I wonder why that is the case?

Can somebody advise me please on how to put a photograph inside a post on here? I have a photobucket account and I post on other cat forums but I just post the [img] link for those pages. For some reason that link doesn't work on here.

I found a Cat discussion group from looking over to the left <<<<< and I would like to post a photo of my cat Midas there.

Don't get too excited about your post being the Featured Post....it is a random thing the changes every so often.  Quite often the Featured Post is dragged up from Page 2 and is months old...at least yours is reasonable recent.

Sorry I can not help you about posting photos here but someone will be along soon to help.
