There's no "nice" way for me to say this, so I'm just going to be blunt...

 

Then why did you? Sorry, but most of the content and images in your listing are someone else's intellectual property.

Agreed, but I wasn't complaining about those parts of my listing which had come from ebay's own database. She is just as entitled as I am to use those details any way she wishes. What she's NOT entitled to do is to plagiarise the Item Details nor a goodly proportion of the description which I wrote myself. That was how I knew she'd stolen my listing, and she admitted as much in her email to me, where she said that she used the "sell this item" link on my listing, which copied everything into hers, including my own camera's serial number amongst other unique specifics.

The funny thing is that when she revised her listing, she removed the public domain details yet left most of my own personal details but altered some of the text so it was no longer exactly the same as mine.

I was just reading this thread and checked - her listing has ended now !

Somebody bought it at the BIN price, which suits me fine as that's one less item with which I have to compete.

I wasn't talking about the content from eBay's database.

I was talking about the other stuff (text and images in the description area), that (near as I can tell) came from a site which has this in their T&C's:
