eBay Cheats & Copyright Thieves

beansnbones69 in eBay Copyright Theft
beansnbones69 of Bognor Regis, West Sussex, United Kingdom stole our American Gold $10 Half Eagle Photographs to use on eBay, without our permission, to try sell his own coin, and failed to mention the coin in the photograph was not one of the coins he owned, if any. Totally dishonest.
Image theft is endemic on eBay, and most sellers appear not to care whether their buyers are deceived.

High eBay Feedback is No Guarantee of Integrity or Honesty

eBay Copyright Thieves
Many eBay vendors use our coin photographs to sell inferior quality coins on eBay. These eBay members are dishonest and should be avoided.
We believe eBay profits from IP rights infringements (copyright theft), and does so knowingly, only removing infringing items reluctantly, if at all.

$20 Liberty gold double eagles Reverse
U.S. $10 Liberty eagles are one of the world’s most popular gold coins. Besides the fact that gold is getting increasingly higher every day,this is a piece of american history.
Most investors don’t realize that pre-1905 $10 Liberty coins are two to three times scarcer than the later dates. Yet they're trading today for virtually the same price as their commoner brethren, making them an even better value!
Minted from 1866 to 1907, $10Liberty's were the crucial building blocks of expanding U.S. financial markets in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The classic portrait of Miss Liberty on the obverse and the bold heraldic Eagle on the reverse stand today as inspiring symbols of America’s emergence as a mature world power during this important period.
Added profit potential
Out of an original mintage of tens of million, only a small fraction has survived to date This kind of scarcity can only mean increased premiums and profits in periods of high demand for gold.
Due to their large size, low price, limited numbers, and worldwide popularity, pre-1905 $10 Liberty gold coins are preferred by gold investors looking for extra leverage to the gold price. And unlike modern bullion coins, they offer financial privacy and exemption from confiscation because of their status as collectibles.

What's Wrong?
We invest a great deal of time, effort, and cost into creating some of the best photographic coin and gold bar images on the internet. We strongly object when lazy and dishonest people decide to use them without a by your leave or thanks, doing so in competition with us.
Copyright theft is dishonest. We recommend you avoid doing business with dishonest dealers.
It is always possible, even likely, that sellers who steal photographs do not own a similar bar, and have the intention to totally defraud potential buyers.
The vendor is not only cheating us by stealing our copyright images, he is fraudulently or ignorantly misleading and deceiving all potential buyers. Gaining pecuniary advantage by deception is the definition of fraud.

Price
The seller was asking for a Starting bid of $725.00 or a Buy It Now price of $850.00.
Even without after eBay's greedy 10% selling fees, and possible PayPal charges, the seller would almost certainly have been much better off selling the coins to us, instead of stealing our photographs.

eBay Guilty of Negligence or Complicity
We will be reporting this example of copyright abuse using our standard Statutory Declaration via the eBay VeRO programme, and wait to see if they chose to action or ignore our report. We look forward to taking legal action against eBay for their negligence and / or complicity if they fail to take down the offending material promptly.
