Stolen eBay Scans

Posted By: JerryI have an eBay listing for a '48-'49 Leaf DiMaggio SGC 40 ending this Sunday night... <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=008&item=180003705089&rd =1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=008&item=180003705089&rd =1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1</a> Today, a listing appeard with stolen scans of my card from a "new" seller with zero feedback... <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130004789027&fromMakeT rack=true" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130004789027&fromMakeT rack=true</a> I have updated my listing, alering potential bidders to this, but my question is, how may I report this activity to eBay? Additionally, are there any tips on how to stop this guy (or his friends) from sabatoge on my own auction (i.e. winning my lot, not paying, and then leaving negative feedback for me)? Thanks for your help... Jerry

Posted By: DougHello there. Sorry to hear about the stolen scans. I think you're best served by some type of watermark on the image. "Property of (user name)" or something similar. If you can't figure out the faded watermark thing, just use a box that you can type in, and write on the scan itself in paint or something. That's my suggestion. Doug

Posted By: JerryWe have proof that he steals scans... thanks for the Williams post... how do I report him to eBay? I can't seem to locate a link to do that. Next time, I will definitely write something on the photo so this can't happen!

Posted By: JerryAmazing! In a matter of a few hours the card was miraculously cracked out of its SGC 40 case and encapsulated in a PSA 4 case. Man, with a quick upgrading service like that, we should all switch to PSA! Basically, he stole someone else's scan.

Posted By: PaulI think this is the same person who got NARU'd a few days ago, for stealing scans from Marty's cards.

Posted By: PaulMarty P alerted eBay about his stolen scans, & the seller got NARU's pretty fast. Maybe Marty can let us know how he contacted eBay. I think it's the same seller.

Posted By: Josh K.Now, I agree the psa 4 is a fake/stolen scan. However, and this may be a stupid question - but Jerry, what makes you think that is your card? The borders are different sizes and markings are completely different.

Posted By: David SmithI think the scan was originally of a different Leaf DiMaggio card and then the scam artist switched pictures once the real owner (Jerry) E mailed him. The scammer also stole scans of the T205 Cobb and the 1949 Leaf Stan Musial. If you want to have some fun, ask the scammer to put all three cards on the brown table he used for his other auctions and send you a picture of all three together. Also, ask the scammer to send you a CLEAR picture of the red background T206. My guess is he owns that card but it is a reprint. David

Posted By: Josh K.Thanks for explaining - I apparently joined the fun too late.

Posted By: JerryYes, he switched from my SGC 40 DiMaggio scan to a PSA 4 scan after I wrote him, politely asking to end his auction. He said that he asked his son to list the cards and then explained that instead of scanning them, his "lazy" son just copied others' photos. It's quite obvious he's simply grabbing scans where ever he can. I like the idea of taking a photo of all of them together. That's an impossible task! A friend of mine wrote and offered him $1500 cash for the DiMaggio (my scan) if he could pick it up in person. Now, if anyone actually had an SGC 40 on hand, they'd jump for $1500. This guy simply said that it's his "policy" that a check has to clear before my friend could pick it up. Makes absolutely no sense at all, besides the fact that a person with zero feedback even has a policy!!!

Posted By: JerryI just checked his auction again, and suprise, a third card has appeared!!! The SGC 40 DiMaggio, turned PSA 4, has now taken the form of an ungraded, beat-to-hell DiMag. I'm now finding this quite entertaining!

Posted By: James GalloHere is the link to report this crap. <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/vero-image-text-theft.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/vero-image-text-theft.html</a> I swear ebay burries things it hard to report stuff. I have had this problem in the past and once reported ebay took pretty quick action and removed the listing. James Gallo Looking for 1915 Cracker Jacks and 1909-11 American Caramel E90-1.

Posted By: JenniferHello all -- haven't checked the board in a LONG time, but this thread in particular caught my eye. Just within the last few days, we decided to start adding html code to all of our eBay listings which makes it impossible for someone to right-click-save the listing photos. There may be a way to get around this little roadblock -- for the very determined scam artist -- but at least it forces them to work harder to steal photo scans. We found this code at JavaScript Source -- the way to insert the code is simple -- in the item description section, click on "HTML mode", and at the very top of the description section, copy and paste the following string of html code. (We've found it easier to complete the item description in its entirety FIRST, then switch to HTML mode and insert the code). <HEAD> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">     </script> </HEAD> Two things to point out -- you can change the message someone will receive in the pop up window when they try to right-click. (The code above reads "No right-clicking!" but you can obviously change it to whatever you want -- for example, "Get your #$*(#$ hands off my photo scan, loser.") Also, if you should happen to revise an item again, this html code will, for whatever reason, disappear altogether, and you'll have to remember to reinsert it before saving the listing again.
