Re: Scumbag alert...helpful advice (please read)

I apologise in advance for starting a new thread on an existing topic, but I have a suggestion for anyone else who uses ebay to help protect them against picture and/or ad theft, and I didn't want this to get lost in the other thread.

Given the fact that pic and/or ad theft has become such a problem on ebay, I've started photoshopping ALL of my pictures I put in my ebay ads with a copyright with my website address. I suppose you could also use an email address, or perhaps your ebay username as an alternative. I put the text in the picture as to prevent someone else from trying to crop it from the image.



I know ebay has a policy against mentioning outside websites in order to make sales aside from ebay, but given the severity of this problem, I see no other alternative. I've yet to receive notice from ebay that I've broken any of their TOS', maybe I'm on borrowed time?

Just trying to help.
