Just in case you didn't realize this, if the other seller tells eBay they found out about this, because you wrote them..YOU can end up suspended for auction interference. Crazy, and not fair, I know, but it can happen. We aren't allowed, by eBay rules to interfer in another person's auction, even to let them know someone else is doing something wrong.Franne said:Your post got me thinking and I went back to look at what she has listed, and wouldn't you know it, one of the items was copied from another seller! I, of course, let the other seller know so he can report it too.

I agree with you, summerrluvv. What's the big deal. I guess I don't have this problem because 1) I don't go sleuthing for it and 2) I sell mostly used items so I just describe the item. I'm a nurse (charting skills) so I can go from one end of an item to the other and describe what I see quickly. I seriously doubt someone has another item exactly like mine in the same exact condition. But if they did copy me, I don't give a flip.summerrluvv said:I guess I don't see what the big deal is.
